iGPSPORT SRi30: Radar + Light + Camera Under $250

The iGPSPORT SRi30 is iGPSPORT鈥檚 first rear radar, and it includes a 1080p camera at a $249 price point 鈥?$150 less than the Garmin Varia RCT715. After three weeks of testing, it is the most affordable radar-camera combo on the market.

iGPSPORT has been making bike computers since 2013, and they entered the WorldTour in 2026 as the official computer and light sponsor for Groupama-FDJ United. The SRi30 is their first radar-equipped product.

Build & Design

The SRi30 is slightly larger than the Garmin RCT715 but still compact. The unit mounts to a standard seatpost using a quarter-turn adapter and includes hardware for round and aero seatposts.

The radar sensor and camera lens sit on the back of the unit, with a small status LED on the side. The microSD card slot is hidden under a weather-sealed cover. The unit pairs with Garmin Edge units, Wahoo head units, iGPSPORT head units, and third-party apps via ANT+ and Bluetooth.

Real-world Testing

Three weeks of daily commuting (about 500 km total) gave a clear picture. Radar detection is good 鈥?the unit picked up vehicles at 90-100 m on flat roads, slightly less than the Garmin RCT715 (130-140 m) but comparable to the Magene L508 (90-100 m).

The 1080p camera records continuously while the unit is powered. Video quality is acceptable 鈥?license plates are readable at 3-7 m in daylight, 2-4 m at night. Audio is NOT recorded (intentional, for privacy).

The light is bright. The Day Flash mode is visible at 300-400 m in daylight, comparable to the Magene L508. The Night Flash mode is visible at 600+ m in low-light conditions.

Battery life is the main trade-off. In continuous recording mode with Day Flash, the unit lasted 3.5-4 hours on a charge, just shy of the 4-hour claim. In day-flash-only mode (no recording), the unit lasted 7-8 hours.

Pros

• Radar + camera + light in one unit
• 1080p continuous recording

Verdict

The iGPSPORT SRi30 is the most affordable radar-camera combo on the market. It is the right choice for budget-conscious riders who want both radar detection and continuous recording without paying Garmin prices. Riders who want longer battery life in recording mode should consider the Garmin Varia RCT715 ($399). Riders who want better radar detection should consider the Garmin RCT715 or Wahoo TRACKR Radar ($249). For everyone else, the SRi30 is an excellent value.
