Uniden's Flagship Detector, Dual Antenna Direction and GPS
The Uniden R8NZ is the flagship of the range. Its dual antenna design detects threats from all four directions and tells you exactly where a signal is coming from, with directional arrows and voice alerts calling out band, direction, and signal strength. It carries GPS, Auto Mute Memory, and Bluetooth app connectivity, all built on Uniden's fastest processor.
Recent firmware has added New Zealand first features: average speed (point to point) camera alerts and bus lane camera alerts, both free updates to existing R8NZ owners. If directional awareness and the very latest detection technology matter most, the R8NZ is the pick.
Key Features
- Dual antenna design means the R8NZ detects and reports threats from all four directions, not just ahead.
- Directional arrow indicators and voice alerts mean you instantly know whether a threat is ahead, behind, or to the side.
- Average speed camera and bus lane camera alerts mean the R8NZ covers NZ specific enforcement methods other detectors miss.
- Auto Mute Memory means known false alert locations are automatically quietened over time.
- Dual Low Noise Amplifiers mean extreme detection range, even in demanding conditions.
- Bluetooth connectivity means you can pair with Uniden's app to adjust settings on the fly.
- Large ultra bright colour OLED display means every reading, band, direction, and signal strength, is easy to see at a glance.
- Single and double suction mounts plus carrying case included mean flexible fitment across vehicles.
Applications
- Drivers wanting the most advanced detection and directional awareness available
- High mileage highway drivers who want every NZ specific alert type covered

FAQ
Is it legal to use a radar detector in New Zealand? Yes, radar detectors are legal to own and use in New Zealand.
What do the directional arrows actually tell me? The R8NZ's dual antennas identify whether a radar or laser signal is coming from ahead, behind, or the side, and show this as an arrow on the display alongside a voice alert.
Does the R8NZ cover average speed and bus lane cameras? Yes, recent firmware added New Zealand specific average speed (point to point) camera alerts and bus lane camera alerts, both available as free updates.
Is the R8NZ worth it over the R4NZ? If directional awareness and the newest detection features matter to you, yes. If you mainly want strong range and GPS at a lower price, the R4NZ is the better value option.
