Escort Celebrates 50 Years of Driving Innovation and a Legacy of Staying Ahead
From a prototype built inside a repurposed camera to today's connected road-awareness technology, Escort Radar celebrates five decades of driver-first engineering and category-defining innovation
Escort Radar, a Cedar Electronics brand, is marking its 50th anniversary in 2026 and will celebrate the milestone at SEMA 2026, Nov. 3-6 in Las Vegas, in North Hall booth 11031. The release traces the brand from a 1976 radar-detector prototype built inside a repurposed camera, through the founding of Cincinnati Microwave and the debut of the original Escort detector two years later, to today's connected road-awareness lineup. It highlights the current performance-driven range of premium radar detectors, supported by continuous firmware updates, and frames the anniversary as a foundation for future driver-awareness technology.
