How does a radar detector keep you out of trouble?

The key to avoiding a ticket is to detect a police radar early. If radar gets your speed before you slow down, your detector becomes nothing more than an embarrassing dash ornament for when the officer is at your window. Not just any radar detector will do... you need a radar detector with the latest technology and the latest features that pickup speed traps and traffic cops on the prowl, including:

• Multi-band radar detection for accurate alerts, no matter what the local police use
• Outstanding range that gives you time to slow down
• Sensing of the latest police detection methods including laser
• Alerts to modern police "pop" speed detection
• Smart radar programming that eliminates false alarms
• Immunity to some police detector detector devices
• The portability to use in any vehicle

Radar detectors versus the latest police radar and laser technology

Each time new speed-detecting technology is developed for law enforcement, radar detector companies are right behind with the latest way to avoid getting caught.

When detecting speed with radar, police were once limited to X band. Now rarely used in the U.S., X band has been replaced in popularity by the more-effective K and Ka bands. Every detector we offer provides alerts for police radar across all known radar detection bands.

False alarm-preventing software

Fortunately, today's radar detectors come equipped with smart software for stopping frequent false alarms. No longer does it seem as though every lawnmower or metal tooth filling is setting off your detector. In fact, all of these units offer feature modes for city and highway driving. City mode dampens weaker signals consistent with frequent false alarms. Highway mode, best for open-road driving where fewer false alerts occur, is set for increased sensitivity and maximum advanced warning for higher-speed driving.

Choosing the right radar detector for you!

Dash-mounted radar detectors are the most common type of unit used. Most effective when mounted in the low center of your dash, these radar detectors provide excellent 360 sensing of police radar bands.

Stealth systems are virtually invisible to the eye, making for more covert use of your radar detecting system. Police many times look for your detector mounted on the windshield, and target vehicles using dash-mount systems. Stealth systems employ hidden sensors in your grille and rear license plate area for outstanding range and accuracy. The alerts and signal strength are displayed by a discreet under-the-dash monitor.

The catch with stealth systems is installation, which is extremely intricate and should be done by an installation professional. They're also a substantially more expensive unit making a dash mounted radar detector the most popular.

Another consideration is a wireless radar detector with the option of AA battery power or 12v adapter electricity. These wireless units keep your dash clear, eliminating clumsy cords that can get in your way.

When you want great radar detection capability coupled with portability and easy use, grab a dash-mount radar detector or a wireless unit. When you want a hidden system or are a serious ticket-dodging pro, then your should go with a stealth radar detector system.

Regardless of which type of radar detector you decide upon, you can avoid those expensive trips to see the Judge. We have the right radar detector brands, features and prices to fit your every need. There's a certain comfort that comes with knowing when it’s time to slow down. With a radar detector as your co-pilot, you'll always be alert and ready for the challenges of the road.
