Methods of Speed Measurement explained

The best known and still most common speed measurement method is certainly using a radar trap. But there are also other measurement methods that are not carried out using radar. It is therefore worth finding out in advance to avoid disappointment with the scope of protection. Because other measurement methods, such as low power radar […]

Also known as Blind Spot Warning (BSW), lane-change warning, side-assist and similar sounding names, these are usually radar-based systems using K band.  They warn the driver of a vehicle in the way of a lane change.  V1 Gen2 resists interference from almost all of them.  However, there is a specific radar sensor used in some […]

V1 Gen2 does not have GPS – Why?

Here’s the fallacy with GPS detectors—they can’t block a signal at its source because they don’t know where that is. They know only where your car is, so they block a zone all around your car. This may be okay in a weak detector, but a long-range detector may find that signal a mile away. […]

What is the best Radar detector for you?

If you have read how radar detectors work – then you know which radar warning options are possible and which are not. You also know that a 70%-90% protection from speed cameras and speeding fines can be achieved with a radar detector and can save a lot of money in the future. How to define […]

Why laser can not be detected as good as radar

The biggest difference between radar and laser: laser, unlike radar, is not permanently emitted and therefore cannot be detected in time. The automated laser measuring systems have a working range, i.e. a distance between 25-75m from which they become active and can only be detected then. In addition a laser measurement usually takes a fraction […]
