Mobile Entertainment & Radar Specialists
Radar and laser defense technology is your shield against various traffic enforcement techniques, including red light cameras, speed cameras, and speed traps. Our complete systems encompass radar detection, laser detection/jamming, and alert-interface components. No matter the vehicle, we excel in seamlessly integrating these components, respecting both your car’s interior and exterior aesthetics while providing maximum ticket protection.

The radar components are housed in small rectangular boxes that contain radio antennas designed to detect incoming radio waves. Depending on the desired level of protection, these boxes can be installed at the front of the vehicle or both at the front and rear. To maintain a discreet appearance, these boxes are positioned behind the bumpers, rendering them practically invisible.
Depending on the system, laser components take on various forms, but they consistently include both receivers and transmitters. Usually, they are installed at both the front and rear of the vehicle. As lasers rely on a line-of-sight principle, these components are strategically placed along the bumper(s) for visibility and discreetness.
The alert system interface comprises three key elements: the alert speaker, visual display, and, in the case of Escort, a keypad. The alert speaker is commonly positioned under the dash, while the display and, if applicable, the keypad, are custom-installed in ergonomic locations for user convenience. For instance, the display can be seamlessly integrated above the rearview mirror, with the keypad neatly placed in the center console area.
Radar is the most common method for measuring vehicle speed, and its technology is surprisingly straightforward. Think of it like tuning into a specific radio station – just as you need to match the wavelength to listen in. Radar guns, however, perform both transmission and reception in a single device. They send out a radio signal and ‘listen’ for its echo.
To determine a vehicle’s speed, radar takes advantage of the ‘Doppler Effect.’ This effect describes how radio waves, bounced off a moving object, undergo a ‘shift’ in frequency compared to the source signal. When an object moves toward the radio signal, the reflected waves shift up in frequency, and vice versa. Radar guns utilize this frequency difference between the transmitted and received radio waves to measure a vehicle’s speed.
It’s worth noting that not all transmitted radio waves bounce back to the radar gun; most escape beyond the intended target. This is where radar detectors come into play.
As mentioned earlier, most of the transmitted radio waves escape beyond their intended target, covering long distances. Radar detectors take advantage of this by ‘listening’ for these radio waves, and they can detect signals from up to 1-3 miles away. Radar detectors are effective because radar devices operate on fixed wavebands: K-band (18 – 27 GHz), Ka-band (26.5 – 40 GHz), and X-band (8 – 12 GHz).
When a radar gun or device is detected, the radar detector promptly alerts the driver, providing them with the opportunity to adjust their speed if necessary.
Laser, or LiDAR, represents the other form of speed measurement. In contrast to its radar counterpart, it ditches radio waves for laser pulses to gauge speed. Here’s how it operates: a police officer aims a LiDAR gun directly at a moving vehicle and fires laser pulses at a fixed rate measured in pulses per second (pps). With each pulse reflecting back towards the officer, the LiDAR gun gauges the distance of the moving vehicle at each time point. Utilizing mathematics and the speed of light as a constant, the LiDAR gun calculates the vehicle’s speed from these measured distances and their corresponding time points.
Laser detectors work by sensing laser pulses emitted by LiDAR guns and alerting the driver. However, detection alone doesn’t guarantee protection because once a LiDAR gun measures a vehicle’s speed, law enforcement has the necessary data to issue a ticket. This is where laser jamming comes into play. When a laser jammer detects incoming laser pulses, it emits countermeasures in the form of laser pulses back towards the LiDAR gun. This interference can ‘confuse’ the calculation process, giving the driver valuable time to reduce speed. The laser jammer continues to emit countermeasures for a set time period, after which it ceases, allowing the police officer to accurately register the speed.
