Neoline X-COP 5500: reviews. Radar detector Neoline X-COP 5500: price

In Russia, antiradar has long been no wonder, and while the authorities do not completely prohibit them, these devices will be used everywhere. The guard cells and radars are improved year by year, and detectors, in turn, try to keep up with them and also receive updates of series and lines. Today we will talk about one of the novelties from the venerable brand, whose products enjoy an enviable demand in the ranks of domestic consumers.

So, the subject of today's review is the Neoline X-COP 5500 radar detector. The reviews, characteristics, merits and demerits of the model will be discussed in this article.

Detectors

Virtually all detectors differ from each other only in design and a set of recognizable frequencies. Control cameras are constantly being improved and, having adopted an outdated device, you are at great risk of missing a signal from the radar, which is fraught with a financial penalty, and even deprivation of rights.

Therefore, each manufacturer tries to update their devices as often as possible. Even if in technical and visual terms this can not be done, then at least in hardware with the help of firmware. The Neolain brand also tries to keep up with its competitors and produces technically savvy gadgets like the Neoline X-COP 5500. The tests showed that the device will recognize all known domestic road monitoring systems. It will try to figure out whether this is really so, and whether it is worth buying this device at all.

The device is packed in a nice box of solid cardboard white and blue colors. On the front part you can see the image of the device itself, in the same place its most notable characteristics, and on the back more detailed specifications, test results and a separate part are taken by random user reviews on the Neoline X-COP 5500. At the ends there are labels of distributors and the name of the model.

Equipment:

• The Neoline X-COP 5500;
• user's manual;
• USB-cable for synchronization with PC;
• Bracket for fastening to the windshield;
• Charger to the cigarette lighter;
• Mat for fixation on the panel;
• Guarantee ticket.

The kit can be called standard. Nothing superfluous like covers, films and other entourage you will not find there. According to the instructions for the Neoline X-COP 5500, the device goes like "got it and use it", that is, there is no need to buy any additional accessories for a full-fledged operation.

Appearance

The model received a laconic design with strict notes. The black plastic case has an inclined surface with a front display. There are no design delights such as exotic angular shapes that can be seen in competing lines of other brands.

Due to its versatile and strict appearance, the Neoline X-COP 5500 radar detector can be installed both in the modest technique of the domestic car industry and in the venerable foreign cars of the business class - it looks right here and there.

Despite the fact that the front surface of the glass goes at an angle to the horizon, the main display is strictly perpendicular. In similar competing gadgets, the screen is simply placed on the end, and here we see an interesting design solution.

Reviews on the Neoline X-COP 5500 on this issue are mixed. Of course, this kind gives the device an individuality and beauty, but this moment has its drawbacks. On a sunny day, the information on the detector is readable - clearly and without glare, but at night the data is duplicated, that is, you see the gadget's readings both on the display and in the reflection on the windshield. This point is quite embarrassing for some users.

Interfaces

On the left side of the device you can see two connectors: a mini USB for connection to a PC (firmware update on Neoline X-COP 5500, reprogramming of function keys, etc.) and an output for charging. Both interfaces are tight enough to hold loops and there were no problems with disconnection. However, some owners in their responses to the Neoline X-COP 5500 complain about the fact that the wires interfere with the driver's review, and why the manufacturer did not place the connectors on the right side - it's not entirely clear.

Buttons have only four gadgets, two extreme ones are signed, and internal ones have a clear user-defined design (up, down), so there should not be any confusion. Buttons are used to fine-tune the detector, to adjust the volume and to turn off or on the reception of frequencies of a certain type.

The device is in operation

Before working, the manufacturer highly recommends installing the latest update for Neoline X-COP 5500 from the official website, and only after that start working. Otherwise, you risk missing the next DPS radar.

Field tests showed that Neoline X-COP 5500 GPS copes with the bearing of the police radar "Arrow-M" and "Arrow-ST", and at a distance of 1 km, which is quite impressive. At one time these DPS devices made a lot of noise among the motorists, when no detector could cope with their identification.

In addition, the Neoline X-COP 5500 GPS is able to record such an advanced transport monitoring system as "Atodoria", which easily recognizes not only the registration number of the vehicle, but rather accurately determines the average speed of the car at a considerable distance - from 500 m to 10 km (Depending on the terrain).

In addition to the notorious "Arrow", the device can warn about such serious complexes as "Cordon" and "Chris", focusing on the speed and passage of vehicles on the lanes for public transport in the urban stream. The mobile / manual radars of the DPS like "Berkut", "Radis", "Binara", "Iskra" and "Vizir" will not be a problem either. These devices are detected by the Neolain detector almost per kilometer, which largely depends on the landscape.

Some cameras recognize the gadget using the built-in module, but some take the direction of the GPS protocols. This allows you to virtually eliminate the sudden hit of a car under police radar.

The owners in general are quite good about the capabilities of the X-COP 5500 series. The users are quite satisfied with the direction-finding capabilities of the detector, as well as a pleasant and versatile appearance. Some motorists complain about the "thoughtfulness" of the device, but such a phenomenon is so rare (mainly in the cold season) that it is difficult to name this critical moment.

Competitors

The car market is full of such devices and competitors have enough of our respondents. Among a heap of similar models, you can select a couple of the most interesting gadgets that almost exactly copy (or vice versa) the capabilities of the X-COP 5500.

Mystery MRD-705GVS

This device can be called the twin brother of Neolain, with the only difference that the appearance of the MRD-705GVS is a bit simpler, and you will not hang such a gadget in business class. The model has a built-in GPS-module, and it is also capable of detecting the above-mentioned list of police radars.

The only thing in which Mystery wins is the price (per thousand cheaper). That is, users receive a similar Neolain functional with a lower cost, but an uncanny appearance. What is more important, it's up to you.

Cobra RU 945CT

The appearance of this detector allows you to hang it even in an alien cruiser: the evoking body, all sorts of grids, inserts, ledges and other entourage, which screams - I'm the best. However, despite all its attractiveness, the "filling" of the model is very ordinary.

"Arrow" and other popular radar radar devices, DPS sees, but for lack of GPS-module, the functionality of "Cobra" slightly loses the previous two models. But the gadget has one undeniable advantage - the viewing angle of the laser sensor is 360 degrees. That is, if the radar of the DPS is sent, say, to you in the back, this device captures it. It is worth a little cheaper than the "Neolain" (about 300 rubles), but more expensive than the "Misteri" rubles by 200.

Summarizing

Many users purchase the detector X-COP 5500 more than satisfied, especially since the price tag for the model is quite democratic - around 7000 rubles. Of course, before installing the gadget in the car with it you need to tinker: install the latest firmware update, configure the sensors, signals, etc., but after all the procedures, the device reminds itself only during radar bearing.

The model, like most other low-cost gadgets of this kind, "gets sick" by false alarms in urban conditions, that is, where there are many shops with automatic doors, which for detectors are like a red rag for a bull. But after going to the track, the problem disappears, and the device works as it should - correctly and without failures.

For its price X-COP 5500 from Neolain is a successful acquisition, which you will hardly regret, especially since this device will pay off fairly quickly. Also, it is worth noting separately that the devices of such a plan are intended for a reminder of the high-speed mode, that is to provide greater safety on the road, but not the other way around.
