LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — ESCORT, the leader in premium radar and laser detection technology, today announced the next generation of its award winning ESCORT Live App for iOS and Android. Since 2012, ESCORT Live has revolutionized the detection industry with patented technology allowing Escort detectors to automatically share alerts in real-time with other users.
The NEW ESCORT Live App enables users to receive alerts across both ESCORT and Cobra platforms. The convergence of these communities creates one of the nation’s largest networks of connected drivers, effectively providing limitless detection of speed and red light enforcement.
Users will be able to Drive Smarter® with a complete array of driving information at their fingertips.

“The New ESCORT Live app, with its newly expanded nationwide community of both sensor-based and user-based alerts, generates more than 8 million verified alerts per month.”, said Manuel Jaime, CTO Cedar Electronics, parent company of Escort and Cobra. “It is built to operate with basic to advanced connectivity across many device models, can incorporate additional 3rd party driving services and content, and will ultimately integrate with existing and new video products introduced by Cedar Electronics. This forward-thinking app platform will power Escort devices for years to come connecting drivers with alerts and information to help them drive smarter.”
