About the S-Series

• Similar to the Cobra iRadar 200, the iRadar S-Series detector connects to a free companion app that allows users to connect to the iRadar Community -- the largest and most active crowd-sourcing community of smart detection users -- and share valuable information with nearby users regarding live police, camera enforcement locations, dangerous intersections and other caution areas.
• Once installed, the Cobar iRadar S-series detector is completely invisible to those who do not know it is there. It is discreetly installed in the engine compartment of a vehicle with simple installation as it connects via Bluetooth to the Cobra iRadar app. 
• The app, utilizing the smartphone's GPS and data connectivity, allows users to report live police, caution areas, and photo enforcement areas to other iRadar users. This iRadar Community allows users to rely on a real-time network to give them superior situational awareness while driving. The app's smooth graphical interface makes the S-Series the most user-friendly detector on the market.
• The system is universally compatible with Android and iOS and the Cobra iRadar Community has over half a million downloads.
