ALPriority, Laser Interceptor and V1 vs Rear Facing Vitronic PoliscanSpeed

[BestRadarDetectors]

BRD - do you know if they is a delay between jamming commencing and actual audio alert on the ALP, such as happens on the LI to avoid brief falses ?

There is no delay with the ALP, As soon as it see's a threat it will alert you and it can distinguish false alerts extremely fast and to date I have not had one false alert with my ALP.

Hi nano,

As you say, usually the warning you receive is > 200m so plenty of time to JTK.

These are a couple where warning is minimal. First video, detection is blocked by the car waiting to pull out of the junction on the left. 2nd is where they are using bushes to minimise detection until the last minute. Of course, when you meet a rear facing setup, it is always usually a JFG situation until you clear the measurement zone;

sure hope the polis dont jump borders ,

Here's one I found in my dashcam archives, after thinking about the results in the first vid ;



Laser Interceptor Quad (2 front, 2 rear), 8.9 heads, v 8.12A firmware misses a rear shot from a Vitronic PoliscanSpeed in the grey cabinet on the left of the freeway. LI was running at maximum sensitivity, and this was a case of failure to detect in time, not failure to jam. V1 picks up the rear laser and alerts after passing the camera.

About 80 -90% of the time, it will detect a rear facer (a miss is rare), but it kicks in around 50 -60m past the camera, which is too late, as the Poliscan has started it's calcs from 10m (33') past the camera, then IPT with a very narrow beam diameter, and will nab you at about 20 - 30m past. Hopefully LI will come up with a way to go to 'Volume 11' on the sensitivity for Poliscan, or give us new compact heads with more than 2 receiving diodes per head.

li's seem to be falling behind with progressive updates , at the moment, just wonder if more diode heads come out for the li ,would the cpu cope with that, or would every thing have to be designed from the ground up,
