Cobra announced what it calls the first device of its kind to combine long-range radar detection and a Hi-Def dashcam in a single unit.

The 2-in-1 Cobra Road Scout Elite also alerts drivers of upcoming red light and speed cameras locations (from the Cobra/ESCORT Defender Database).

As a dashcam, the Road Scout Elite provides editable video that automatically shows the location, date and time.  The video can help drivers tell their side of the story for insurance claims or incidents, or allow parents of teen drivers to see footage of their teen’s driving behaviors.

As a radar/laser detector it has filtering to protect against false alerts.

The device can be installed by the driver. It includes a WiFi transmitter to send video to a smartphone for easy viewing.  Users can also connect to a WiFi hotspot for automatic in-vehicle software updates or updates to the GPS database. Retail price is $449.95.
