Ive noticed where im at that cops set off the r8 even when theyre driving. I get detection level values every single time. Its like theyre driving around with it on? Ka band usually.
As title says I kindly need help figuring out the best way to power RD.
I have used cord that it came with for some time now and after following this group I figured I'd go for something more hidden.
Now that I have the mirror tapped I noticed that the radar stays on all the time (I have it auto shut off after an hour) and when I get in my vehicle I have to press power button to turn on before each trip.
Yes it's sleeker and hidden cable but I worry about effecting the longevity of device having constant power and pressing the same button numerous times
As opposed to an 11 foot cable I can connect to the Cigarette port; although a more complex installation would be worth it? For the peace of mind?
To reiterate I've always used the cigarette port cable it came with and would always see it on and off with the ignition. So it's my first time ever messing with auto shut off and having it directly connected and lowered constantly
Thank you in advance
UPDATE-
I found a way to connect to the CMBS camera via [link here]
Thank you all for responses.
**[VENDOR] Introducing the WATCH_DOG // Police Network Scanner from Sportbike Radars**
*Disclosure: I'm the developer and seller of this product.*
If you ride, drive, or wardrive, situational awareness matters. The WATCH_DOG is a passive police network scanner that gives you an early warning in a way radar and laser detectors can't, since it operates in a completely different space.
Police and first responder vehicles broadcast in-vehicle WiFi networks for their cameras, laptops, and other equipment. The WATCH_DOG continuously scans for those networks in real time and gives you audible and visual alerts letting you know when one is nearby.
For motorcycle riders, it mounts discreetly under the rear seat and runs quietly in the background. Whether you're riding hard or just commuting with a loud exhaust, you'll know what's ahead or behind. The dash-mounted LED gives you a visual alert you won't miss over wind and engine noise.
For car and truck drivers, an optional high-gain antenna extends detection range considerably, giving you earlier and longer warning on highways, open roads, and in dense urban areas.
For wardriving and radio enthusiasts, the WATCH_DOG is a compact, purpose-built passive scanner that fits in your pocket and is perfect for EDC.
All scanning is passive only and doesn't intercept, block, or interfere with any signals. Compliant with ECPA and FCC regulations.
Available in Portable, Motorcycle Kit, and Car/Truck Kit setups. There's also an optional WATCH_DOG + BIRD_DOG version that detects some Flock AI cameras transmitting a Bluetooth signal, adding another layer of situational awareness.
Currently in beta. Sold for informational and awareness purposes only. see disclosure statement.

Happy to answer any questions!
I’m using the escort max 360 mk2 it used to show every radar suspicion on the map and it’s no longer showing any icons. Anyone know how to fix
I saw the original one on March 2nd and missed it by a couple hours, I thought that was my only chance so I was bummed out, now looking at the post history, turns out there was another one 2 weeks ago that I also missed, I don't check this sub daily. I really wanted a Uniden R3 and $239.99 is a steal, is there any way I could be notified if there is another deal of the day without giving best buy my email?
