WHY USE A RADAR DETECTOR OR LASER JAMMER IN YOUR CAR?

Radar detectors detect very specific radio transmissions from radar speed measuring equipment, such as speed cameras or police patrol cars.

A good quality radar detector can be effective against most of the radar speed measurement technology currently used in Australia

The better radar detectors are also equipped with good to very good laser detection capability, however this may not be that effective as radar detectors are passive and the laser gun can record your speed in less than ½ sec. That means, by the time you hear the warning, an officer may already have your speed

Laser jammers are valuable in alerting the driver to laser speed traps and handheld laser guns. Jammers work by analysing the laser signal received and re transmitting a laser pulse on the same pulse rate and width. This causes the laser speed camera or laser gun operator to receive a 'non-read' or 'miss-aim' message.

Prevention is better than cure and jamming is widely regarded as an effective way to prevent speeding tickets as it stops the laser speed measuring devices determining your speed.

Jammers should be set to automatically shut down after a laser threat is detected to prevent an unnecessary discussion with police operators.

The auto shutdown assists in preventing police or camera operators identifying that you have a laser jammer, as they are prohibited. Following a pre-set shutdown period, the jammers will automatically re-arm themselves.

Please Note: Extending jamming times while driving is not recommended.
