Update street storm. Update of radar detectors. So, what are the options for updating and retrofitting Street Storm radar detectors now?

Building radar detectors street storm, we strive to 100% protect the driver from a variety of threats. However, unlike in previous years, the situation is constantly changing, so we decided to open this topic in order to inform you about these changes in a timely manner and offer the best ways to solve emerging challenges.

Most of our models are built on the most modern, technologically advanced ESP (Extreme Sensitive Platform) and HSP (High Sensitive Platform) platforms. It should be noted that detectors from other manufacturers (even world famous ones) use solutions created 15-20 years ago. Street Storm specialists, who created the ESP and HSP platforms in 2012, tried to include in their developments not only outstanding characteristics for detecting microwave radio signals from road radars and modern LISD and AMATA laser meters, but also the possibility of potential improvement in the future with the emergence of new threats . Sometimes this requires updating the detector software, which can be done on all models based on the HSP or ESP platform (via a service or full-featured USB port). In some cases, minor hardware modifications are required. In any case, the specialists of the Moscow service center and regional partner services are happy to help the owners of branded Street Storm radar detectors. If you have difficulty obtaining local service support, you can send the product directly to the Moscow SC at:

So, what are the options for updating and retrofitting Street Storm radar detectors now?

Street Storm detectors based on the HSP platform appeared on the market in April 2012 and immediately set a new standard for K-band sensitivity. A striking proof of the high sensitivity of our technology was the detection of the most insidious at that time, invisible to Strelka's competitors. An impulse radar complex operating in the K band was detected from a distance of 150-250 meters. Despite the fact that the degree of protection against Strelka at such a distance is minimal, in relation to all other road radars operating in the K band, the detection range has increased quite noticeably.

The next milestone was May 2012, when a new product was introduced to the market - a radar detector with an integrated GPS module STR-9510. Having a pre-installed coordinate base on board with the possibility of self-updating at home, the detector already then notified about the Strelka radar from 600 meters with a special message RADAR STRELKA on the display and a countdown of the distance as it approached the speed control point.

EX module

An event can be considered significant when a company Street Storm was the first on the market to introduce innovative Strelka radar detection technology from a distance and special alert signal on the display. The first detector to implement this technology was the STR-9000EX, which remains one of the market's bestsellers to this day. This happened in August 2012, and from that moment on, all our models equipped with this feature have the prefix in the name EX or EXT .

Any model on the HSP or ESP platform can be retrofitted with the Strelka Special Radar Alert Module (we call it the EX-module). The cost of retrofitting is 800 rubles.

Service software update

In the winter of 2012, an update was released software for the entire line of models on the HSP and ESP platforms. The new software made it possible to implement 3-level ramp-up mode when detecting the Strelka radar ( ARROW GEIGER) and add Radar detection mode "Robot" with a special alert.

"Robot" (aka Multaradar) has a very low radiation intensity in the K band. Therefore, even at the time of the passage of such a radar, detectors with relatively high sensitivity often recorded this control tool as a weak source with a signal intensity of no higher than 2 points. As a result, there was a chance to take such a response as a hindrance. To ensure that the danger is identified, we have developed a radar detection mode "Robot" with a special alert. If this mode is activated, the detector not only recognizes the signal, but after a second or two, signals the driver with a special sound signal; in models with an OLED display, the inscription is additionally displayed as a running line "RADAR ROBOT" .


Geiger Arrow 3-Level Increment Mode, as well as Robot Radar Special Alert Mode, can be added by updating the software via the USB service port of any model on the HSP or ESP platform. Software update during the warranty period (1 year) - free of charge; if the device was purchased more than a year ago - 300 rubles.

External GPS module

The most topical issue in 2015, no doubt, will be retrofitting the detector with a module GPS. Since 2013, new types of measuring systems began to appear on the roads in Russia and neighboring countries, some of which are not equipped with a radar at all and cannot be detected by a classic detector. First of all, this is a Russian development complex "AVTODORIA" , which measures the average speed along the route. Other examples: Russian radarless "AVTOURAGAN-VSM" (provides speed determination accuracy of 2 km/h based on video image analysis), complex "ODYSSEUS" and others.

Like the passive means of control listed above, systems equipped with radar deserve special attention. "CORDON" , "MERLIN" , "ROBOT" , "PLACES" with ultra-low radiation intensity, which in most cases are installed in the direction in the direction of travel, which significantly complicates their detection from a safe distance.

In these cases reliable protection only a radar detector equipped with a GPS module with an up-to-date coordinate base of stationary radars, which warns the driver about each of them in a timely manner, can provide against all the threats described above. The Street Storm database is updated weekly to ensure highest level protection at any given time.


In an effort to maintain protection at the highest possible level, since July 2014, our company has been offering almost all detector models only with an external or internal GPS module. If the internal GPS receiver is installed at the factory during the assembly process, then the external STR module - GP One can be retrofitted to any model based on the HSP or ESP platform. The cost of retrofitting in the service is 1500 rubles. This amount includes the cost of the module, as well as the refinement of the detector. To date, this service is available only in the Moscow SC. They are also ready to upgrade for regional customers when sending the detector by Russian Post; since the device is compact, the cost of shipping to Moscow rarely exceeds 100 rubles, and we cover the costs of sending it back.
