Hi, I am new to site and looking to get the ALP on my car but can't decide on 4 or 5 sensors.

What is the coverage radius from 1 sensor? how low or high (measurement) can I put the sensor to get max coverage? How far can it detect threat?

Thanks

What kind of vehicle is it?

typical car and small suv only needs 2 on either side. larger suv and trucks would be safer to go with 3 front 2 rear.

You get about 18" coverage on any side of the sensor. sensors should be no more then 36" apart.

detect distance depends on the incoming source - the alp will detect at any distance as long as there is a source. (most typical lidar guns are only good to 2000 feet, except newer VPR guns exceed that range)

The city I am in，like to hide on top of bridge and aim at the rear end of vehicles. That's why I was thinking either "red" or "blue" placement. Or any recommend placement？

Have the Receiver "bubbles" on the in-board sides on both Front & Rear. The Lidar guns used in your area have a range of 6000ft. if you're located where I think you are.

X2... Those locations will serve you well.

Haha...It's well known around here

There are lots of guys from Edm on here already if you need help with it... Agreed on the red front/blue rear placement.
