budfox786's Review of Origin b2 Speed Camera Detectors
3rd Sep 2004
Overall Rating
- Value for money
- How effective is the device?
Good at fixed camera warnings.
Bad Points
False laser alert at least every 30 minutes. Too many cables that are not easy to conceal on the dash - ideally unit needs to be hard wired in. Origin technical team not the most helpful people to deal with - at times guessing the solution and often giving conflicting advice.
General Comments
The Origin b2 GPS Speed Camera Detector is not a unit you would want unless you want to spend the cash to get it hard wired into your car! 3 cables and a docking station were not easy to hide on the dash. Fixed camera warnings worked well BUT laser gave a FALSE WARNING nearly every half an hour - after numerous calls to Orgin, the problem was still UNRESOLVED so sent the unit back and got myself a Road Angel 2 - which worked a treat, gave no false warnings, did not require hard wiring, had only one lead and was a genuine "plug & play" unit. Also, Orgin technical team were NOT the most helpful bunch - much of the time giving conflicting advice!

i 100% agree with this review. My B2 gives so many false laser alerts and worst of all the Origin team are not very reliable, they tell so many lies. Unfortunately i have bought the B2 and stuck with it. i do strongly recommend Road Angel 2.

The reviewer must have got a dud one. My B2 has NEVER given a false laser warning.
