World beating performance for our types of radar cameras

Specifically designed for UK and Irish camera frequencies, the Cheetah Sentinel has the best K band detection range in the world. It gives you more advance warning than any other detector of the mobile radar and fixed radar cameras that are used all over the UK and Ireland.

Advance warning is typically around 300m when approaching a Gatso camera from behind, depending on the location of the camera. Some cameras will register as far as 600m or more. Approaching a camera from the front, the signal is stronger, so there is up to 800m advance warning. Mobile GATSOs will generate similar warnings, while hand held devices like radar guns will produce even greater warning distances.

Wireless, concealed & discreet

The Sentinel's waterproof detector head can easily be concealed in discreet location at the front of your vehicle: behind your radiator grille, under your bumper or in an air scoop. There are usually a number of places it can go. Once fitted, there is nothing noticeable to attract the attention of passers-by or opportunistic thieves and the tiny AUDIOnode in-car warning unit can be positioned anywhere you like in the car. It does not have to sit on top of your dashboard. Speed trap alerts are transmitted wirelessly from the radiator grille to inside the car so you don't have to run any awkward cables from then engine or drill any holes! This makes the Sentinel much easier to instal compared to any other remote system. In the stand-alone, full radar detector system, alerts are provided through the AUDIOnode in-car receiver.

A-thermic windscreens? No longer a problem!

Renault, Peugeot, Citroen, Vauxhall, Mercedes, BMW, and Audi A8 owners now have a radar detector that is specifically designed to work with their vehicles. Athermic screens, sometimes called heat reflective, solar or heat insulating windscreens, have such a high metallic content that they stop most of the radar signals emitted from a GATSO or radar gun from entering the car and and alerting a traditional radar detector. The design of the Sentinel means you no longer have this problem.

No difficult hardwiring

The Sentinel is supplied with our unique automatic power supply unit, the POWERSENSEnode, which simply connects directly to the battery terminals and only turns your detector on when your engine is running. This means you do not have to do any difficult hardwiring and DIY instals can be easily done in minutes, rather than hours. If you can wire a plug, you can fit the Cheetah Sentinel!

Fewer false alarms

All radar detectors give false alarms when they encounter a signal that is on exactly the same frequency as a speed camera. However, X, Ku and Ka bands are not used in the UK or Ireland for speed detection, so these bands are removed from the Sentinel to reduce the incidence of false alarms. Furthermore, the Sentinel comes with City mode - a clever automatic muting facility. When city mode is activated, the in-car warning unit will give 1 second of audible warning for each signal detected and then become silent, but the warning LEDs will continue to function as normal during an alert.
