    Description of COMBO 3
    Attached Image

    KARKAM COMBO 3 - a unique hybrid device that has no analogues in the world! Engineers of Karkam Electronics managed to integrate 5 important devices immediately necessary for a motorist into one building: Full HD video recorder, Radar detector, GPS-informer, GPS-tracker and GSM-modem! At the same time maintaining a compact size and ergonomic design! And most importantly - the price of the device remained at the level of a regular registrar!
    FULL HD DVR
    The DVR allows you to record the most detailed traffic situation with a resolution of 1920x1080pix and a frequency of 30 frames / sec. You can clearly see the license plate numbers of cars, people's faces, house numbers both day and night. A large 160 В° viewing angle covers not only the entire roadway, but also what is happening to the left and right of the road.
    RADAR DETECTOR
    The built-in highly sensitive radar detector recognizes signals of all ranges (X, K, Ka, Ku, CT, Ultra, Laser), in which all Russian radar systems (Strelka-ST, Avtodoriya, Robot, Cordon, Krechet, Chris-P, Vizir work , Arena, Lysd, Amata, Spark, Binar, Falcon, Rapier, Golden Eagle, Radis, Autouragan, Bud, Parkon, Barrier, etc.). He will help you to minimize the number of meetings with the traffic police and save you from paying fines for speeding!
    GSM MODEM
    The GSM-modem built into the power adapter allows you to significantly expand the functionality of CAMBO COMBO 3. For the convenience of users, each device is equipped with a sim-card.
    ONLINE GPS INFORMER
    The unique function of voice and visual alerts will always warn you when approaching speed cameras, photo frames and favorite places of police ambushes, and also inform you about traffic conditions, traffic accidents, weather conditions, etc.
    Unlike the previous version, you no longer need to look for gps camera database updates on the site and upload it first to a memory card on a laptop, and then upload it to the registrar (as it was before and still remains with other manufacturers)! Now all updates, thanks to the built-in GSM-modem, are downloaded automatically from the cloud server online. And the gps base of cameras is collected by our engineers from reliable sources every day! (for other manufacturers, the database is updated once a half year, or even once a year)
    GPS + GLONASS
    The device is guided immediately by two global positioning systems GPS and GLONASS. In this regard, the device is faster oriented on the ground and more accurately determines the coordinates.
    GPS TRACKER
    Thanks to the built-in GPS / GLONASS module and the GSM modem, the device can display its location and speed on the Google maps online. For this, a special cloud service (Camcloud.ru) was developed, as well as mobile applications for iOS and Android. All information is recorded in the archive and stored by the server (complete privacy!), And you can see and play the route at any time on a specific day and at a specific time. This function can be useful both for personal monitoring (wife, personal driver, parents ...), and for commercial (freight and passenger transportation, taxi fleets, delivery services, etc.)
    160 В° ANGLE
    Almost panoramic viewing angle allows the DVR to capture the full picture of what is happening. The frame will include not only the carriageway, but also what is happening on the left and right of the road.
    Night shooting
    The WDR function provides high-quality video in any light. The DVR automatically smooths out the exposed areas of the frame and brightens the darkened ones, therefore, the picture will be perfectly clear even when there is a sharp difference in lighting (for example, when leaving the garage on a sunny day or in periodic street lighting at night).
    MICROSD UP TO 128 GB
    The DVR accepts even large (up to 128 GB) memory cards. You do not have to worry about whether there is enough space for an important video, and also you do not need to save on video quality.
    BRACKET 360 В°
    Using the new miniature hinged suction cup bracket, the recorder can be rotated 360 В° horizontally and capture communication with a traffic police officer or passenger. Also, thanks to the flat lower part of the hull, the COMBO 3 CARCAMS can simply be put directly on the dashboard on a silicone mat like a regular radar detector (without an arm)!

Hello. I did not find a topic on combo devices from Karkam, I decided to create my own. I have been using Combo 2 for a year now, it seems that everything is fine, the only trouble is jambs firmware. For some, everything works fine, for others it’s a complete disaster. On the native cable, the plug also died, bought another cable, while it works, if the input on the device dies - I solder the power to the device itself, miniUSB is still not really needed there. Owners of these devices, let's share the info. There was a good discussion on VKontakte, but the Karkamovtsi closed it, now they are sending everyone to tech support, which is very inconvenient. For beginners, I really tested working firmware on Combo2 - April 2016, November 2015. Today I rolled September 2016, I will test it next week, we have GAI officers broke the last camera :)

Hello everybody.
Perhaps it will be possible to create a discussion of these devices on this resource. It seems that there are owners, but there is silence in the internet. Rather, there are reviews written by Karkamovites, but you can focus on them only before buying a combo device. You read reviews about updating gsm databases and firmware, about super sensitive radar, about regular monthly firmware updates, you start to believe in the uniqueness of the device and run to the store.
I bought it, turned it on, I realized that I was cheated.
If you throw aside dishonest advertising techniques, then Karkam combo 3, a device with good potential. The truth is whether their developers implement the big question. Given their slowness, something is hard to believe.
So in the positive:
Camera, quite a camera. It shoots decently, the colors are saturated, the clarity is decent. The quality of night shooting at an acceptable level, at least the machine is visible, and not just stop signals and lights on poles.
The rest is more likely in the negative.
If the radar is detected, it will be monotonous, without changing the frequency and tonality depending on the distance to the emitter. There are no changes on the scale either, all the time there are five sticks, that refueling is 100 meters from the road, that the radar is under the nose. So, there’s no sense from the radar. At first you’ll twist your head in search of a reason, you won’t find it, you spit it, turn it off.
In short, there is no radar in the current implementation.
GPS bases are very old, sewn into the firmware, they are not updated in any way online. Aunt robot, saying that you are successfully connected to the database, or lying, or connects to the base of debtors for utilities of the local ZhKO. To hiccups amuse the "Stationary traffic police post, speed limit 60" on the Moscow Ring Road. They were already dismantled under Luzhkov.
A new firmware has been released with new databases from 09/22/16. set, but not yet tested. Where I travel constantly, there are no cameras or they have been weighing for 100 years.
With settings, trouble. A bunch of unnecessary, all sorts of subtle settings for the camera, built-in player and other crap, and the ability to set separately the minimum speed of the radar for the modes of Track, City, no.
A bunch of unnecessary information is displayed on the screen in the overlay on the camera image, for example, the frequency at which the radar works. Red numbers on a colored background, the same red distance to the camera, only in a different corner, here they are useful, but impossible to consider. Need a navigator complete with the device, and not just a SIM card.
Jambs missing, correct or not, it is very unclear whether something will happen next year with a new number, they will abandon Combo3.



Rep: (10)
They say that on Combo3 firmware from Combo2 is suitable, try the ones I rolled in, maybe you will like them more.



Rep: (1)
You can also try. The device is the same. The difference is in the additional fastening on the case, but the lamps are screwed into the buttons. And you can’t twist it, damn it, they beat it right in the eyes with their Chinese blue at night. The screen goes blank through the settings, anyway, there’s no sense in it, but the interior buttons illuminate ..
By the way, the databases in the new firmware, if updated, are not in the Moscow region. Stationary traffic police posts and other atavisms in place.
But an interesting bug appeared, you get to the site with Autodoria, it starts to count your average speed and then does not exit this mode until the end of the journey. So I drove all 300 km.

Useful observation. I’ll demolish September and pump April back. How does September radar work? In the summer, he began to swear at the camera for 200 meters. On the old squeals about a kilometer. On the last trip on the highway, I turned off the GPS mode on this unit, so as not to swear at imaginary ambushes in the city at every intersection. When driving on the highway and in the regional center, I have 7 more roads on my smart road, it’s on, the speed there is fresher than the base of Karkama. I’m the navigator of the crew, so I have time to track both devices and inform the driver of the info :)

In my opinion there is not much difference in the radar, it works sucks. I don’t pay attention to him anymore, the “K” range squeaks constantly, tediously and monotonously. You drive up or have already passed one FIG is not clear. It is easier to set the minimum response speed to 120 km \ h and forget about it.



Rep: (10)

The fact of the matter is that this crap works differently on different firmware. I know the cameras on the track by heart, but this shaitan device reacts differently to them with each firmware :) Since April, no one has seen working firmware, it seems. VKontakte about this spear broke with tech support many. The Karkamov programmers blunted exactly like that. I set September as well, hoping that they turned on the brains based on the results of negative reviews. Judging by your words - not included. I’m rolling back to the old one, I’ll advise you to always try the firmware with Combo2, it’s better not to insert this ridiculous SIM card at all, and if you give it a ride, take Combo3 back to the store. On Combo3, I personally have not seen any positive reviews yet and everyone is swearing at crooked firmware. We, the owners of Combo2, were lucky, managed to take advantage of the normal problems and know where to roll back, and you immediately started with a negative :(

Rep: (1)
But, like a DVR, the device is good. I turned on the minimum speed "auto" in the settings, the GPS mode of informing "smart".
I’ll be coming back on Sunday, I’ll check what it is. In the discussion on VKontakte what this and what these options include, the officials could not answer. So, we’ll check with a finger .. Unsubscribe according to the results.
The device will not work, I’ve been tormenting him for more than a month. In addition, the wire has already been held.
Simka makes it possible to find a car after a good booze. This is a big plus :)

I have an idea, roll on the firmware from the database with the correctly working radar detector from the last one (maybe they are newer there, which I doubt very much), but so far my hands do not reach



Rep: (1)

Rep: (10)
I muddied the substitution of databases :) On the USB flash drive I changed the hidden DATA folder, it seems that the bases are there, tomorrow we'll see what happens.



Rep: (1)
Hey.
After setting the “auto” mode in limiting the maximum speed, the detector began to live its own life. It works in a stationary car and is selectively silent when driving. He returned to the manual "70 km / h". It’s more clear what to expect from him.
The ZhPS alert mode "Smart" also does not have the function of comparing the vehicle speed with the limitations inherent in the database. That is, you are standing in a traffic jam, and you are warned that video surveillance is being conducted, the speed limit is 100. Thus, both auto modes are only in the menu, and they do not affect the operation of the device in any way. At least, the work is not improving. You can no longer bother with them.
He traveled back from Kaluga Region to Moscow with a working Navitel, Q1 cards 2016, POI - September. In addition to the notorious stationary traffic police posts, they coincided with 80% Karkamovsky, which is generally not bad. True, Karkam at the same time showed creativity, calling cameras, cameras, mobile cameras, video cameras. Well, to understand the difference.
What did you get from the swapping databases for the "date" folder, whose speedcams you slipped in there?



Rep: (10)
I replaced the DATA folders from different firmware with the old firmware, threw the folder from the fresh one, I can’t say anything according to the results, everything seems to be stationary and there are places of possible ambushes. The site with Autodoria as a call-up by a site with a speed control, and name-calling. Try the same experiment on your own.

* mouse.78, Hello
Today I accidentally discovered in the menu, in the firmware information, if I click on the firmware number the following curious fact: firmware date 12/07/2016 o.O, GPS data date 10/20/2016. It turns out that the GSM database is being updated. This is a pleasant fact.
Not a pleasant fact:
In general, the last request is from 09/22/16;)

Hi people!!! He became the next owner of the combo 3 frame. The firmware was dated 07/12/2016, though the bases were updated in the month of October. Simka was put Moscow in the kit lay. Tell me if I'm in another area, it turns out roaming will work or not? How to register on a GPS tracker to view information? Then tell me why I need a G-sensor, it is turned off in my settings. I tried to update the firmware, it turned out that the bases were updated in September, and the firmware remained July, but most likely I did not format the USB flash drive when I updated it. I rode around the city in principle reacts to a lot, but I want to understand the navigation in more detail. How to call a route map on karkama. I would be grateful for your help



Rep: (1)
* antanyletun,
Simka is likely not Moscow, but Nizhny Novgorod, they are equipped with Combo3 in Moscow. The Beeline "Reception" tariff is without roaming. I activated it on the Beeline website, but you must first find out the number. You can’t do without a phone.
The firmware, although dated in September, is actually June, there were only September bases there. Now updates have gone through the Internet, but only camera bases.
register in the gps tracking program, as easy as shelling pears. You download the program from the site site to your smart, enter your registrar imei, it will appear in the registrar settings after the first connection of the combo to the Internet, the password is 6 zeros. And that’s it, watch your movements. the truth is rather arbitrary, there is no accuracy, the periods of the survey of the registrar are large, during this time you will have time to make a couple of quarters and six turns. Those. the route is more like a broken line
I don’t know with the G sensor whether it works or not, I didn’t turn it on. I also did not check the operation of the motion sensor.
