New Whistler Detector with DVR (FCC ID HSXWH44)

[InsipidMonkey]

FCC ID HSXWH44 Radar/Laser Detector with DVR by The Whistler Group

Limited info up so far, photos and user manual are under short-term confidentiality until the product is released.

Built-in WiFi, appears as leaky as other Whistlers from the Test Report.

Interesting.
Is Whistler under Escort ? If not, isn't WiFi in a detector protected ?
Any idea what they are doing with the DVR ?

That is a good question. Maybe the WiFi is only for the dashcam and not the detector, so the patent doesn't apply?
DVR = digital video recorder = dashcam, it's just a combo RD/dashcam like the recent Cobra model here: FCC ID BBORDCAM: Cobra RD + Dash Camera / iRAD Road Scout

Saw this detector on a Whistler post on Facebook a week or so ago. When I went back to post the link here it disappeared.

I'm trying to figure out if the leakage is from the WiFi...

It seems like I saw a video of the Veil Guy interviewing Mike B about this detector about a month or two ago. I wonder if it is based off the CR95/97 platform. It is an interesting concept. If I remember correctly it can take a maximum of a 32gb micro SD card. It wouldn’t interest me, but some people might like the convenience of an all in one detector and “dash” cam.

I'd like an all in one package myself, provided it was paired with a decent detector and has decent resolution on the camera, but since that combo seems to be lacking in the market as of now I will have to get by with separate units.

I've used whistlers in the past,before I joined here and well, they did what they could and I liked them at the time.

So I talked to Mike B about it when he was first releasing the MFU-440.

MFU440 - Multi-Function Radar Detector with Fully Integrated Dash Camera

Whistler brings you the best of both worlds with the MFU440 radar detector with a fully integrated dash camera. With so many options of devices to put on your windshield, now you can save space and consolidate by using the MFU440. Similar to its counter part - the Z-31R+, the MFU440 is a high...

IIRC, that one doesn't have WiFi and so I presume this is the next model. As far as the RD itself, because they wanted to stick to the ~$200 pricepoint, it's based on one of their lower end RD's, not the CR93'ish lineup, so performance will be less than their top end performers.
