Managing Alerts
Your detector will continue to receive radar/laser alerts per the settings and preferences you have selected,
but now you’ll also receive live alerts from other users via ESCORT Live’s real-time alert database. In addition,
you’ll be alerted to verified speed traps, speed cameras, and red light cameras via ESCORT’s DEFENDER
Database.
Reporting an Alert
Enabled only while running the ESCORT Live app
Ka-band and laser alerts received by you and other users running the ESCORT Live app are automatically
reported to the ESCORT Live network of real-time threats. Since X- and K-band radar are prone to false alarms
(e.g., automatic door openers and motion sensors), ESCORT Live allows you to manually report alerts on these
bands once you have verified a threat in the area (e.g., a police officer shooting radar/laser).
Even if you don’t receive an alert, you can manually report a cop spotted observing traffic or a mobile speed
camera in the area to other users. This real-time and interactive data-reporting system ensures comprehensive
coverage that is continually improving.
To report a verified alert,
simply swipe left across the screen, tap
Report
on the screen, or push the Report
Button on SmartCord Live while receiving the alert. A confirmation message will appear on the screen.
