Snooper Lynx camera locator

Detector warns of mobile traps

As more mobile safety cameras appear, standard locators can’t keep pace. But Snooper’s new Lynx uses GPRS to talk to other owners, giving you the latest information.

The compact unit is well finished, and blended in with our car’s interior. Three suckers on the screen mount, along with a rubber bush, meant we didn’t notice any rattles.

Resolution was good on the 2.7-inch screen, and sound quality also impressed. We liked the option to tailor the unit to individual requirements – including a user-defined distance limiter. If only buyers got the option of more colour schemes.

It picked up all the cameras on our test route and detected a GPS signal quickly. It told us what each camera was, and alerted us if we were speeding on approach.

Our time with the Lynx was limited, so we were unable to rate its ‘live’ updates. But if this works as well as the rest of the package, it’s a great buy.

Verdict

* Price: £199
* Problems? Units without live data are cheaper if that’s all you need, colours limited.
* So why buy? Up-to-date info, good looking, with many settings to tailor to the user.
