Very right. I drove through Arizona last year at about 1 AM, came across a fleeting road sign that was BACKWARDS on the side of the road. About 15 seconds later, huge flash.I assume the backwards sign was the “photo enforcement ahead” sign. Nearly got in a wreck because of it, but they weren’t concerned.
The cams are set to snap at 11mph over. You need to be doing 76 in order for it to go off.
Hope you guys are able to get rid of this crap. One reason I’m pleased to live in texas, the state senators themselves would shoot any they saw here.
Uh, OK
I would honestly have to say that you shouldn’t be speeding in the initially place…
This is fantastic info, thanks a bunch. I thought those vans must be running something new, I thought my V1 needed service because it alerted so late.
Your point should also mean that the fixed cameras which never go should never catch any drivers out because they have warning signs. That’s not what happens in practice. You could pass the same camera for hundreds of era and the one time you forget it’s here because you’re distracted for some reason, you get a ticket.
That’s the point of our product: to make sure that if you have been distracted, you get a reminder to help you focus again, so you dodge a ticket.
That’s a honest point in theory, but over 100,000 AZ drivers can authenticate that it’s not like that in practice. What if you missed the warning sign because it was obscured by other traffic, or you weren’t paying attention for a brief second (we all do that.) Here are many reasons why you can miss a sign, high and mighty the Redflex employees (not DPS Staff) managed to place the sign up properly in the initially place.
Two questions:
Is the cheetah C100 the same as the Cheetah sentinel?
Is this arizona radar van running Multaradar C?
This video shows the escort passport 8500 x50 in proceedings against Multaradar C (in Europe): ?v=7xXKV7iWbyY
Thats a pretty excellent detector but AZ DPS are vital to post PHOTO ENFORCEMENT signs nearly 1/8 of a mile previous to the photo vehicles to let you know you’re coming up on one, so you either have to be blind or a complete idiot to get a ticket. And yes, I do live here.
Badfish, I’ve tried to be patient and professional and clarify how our product can help but this has now gone on long enough. I’m sure every other reader can be with you my answers but for some reason you seem incapable of grasping the explanations. You’re either being deliberately obtuse or here is another agenda here.
If you have something constructive to add then please post a comment. If you keep coming back with the same mis-informed nonsense then I have no choice but to block you..
Saying the C100 is inferior to the V1 is like saying cars are inferior to motorcycles. You’re not comparing apples with apples. They are completely different products that deal with completely different threats. Here is no evaluation. They both complement each other and work together.
Badfish, Much as I’ve loved our small debate, you are either not reading any of my answers or you are “hard of thinking!”
I’ll repeat myself for the last time. These are the threats that the Valentine 1 DOES NOT ALERT TO:
1. Red light cameras
2. Speed cameras
3. Speed-on-Conservational red light cameras
4. Point-to-point speed cameras
In addition it is effectively useless (like all other radar detectors) against Instant On radar (which is the point of a GPS mobile trap site alert.
Why spend more money on an inferior product? I have avoided at least 200+ speedtraps and many laser traps with my V1… No tickets yet. Why would I need to buy another product when the Valentine 1 alone handles ALL threats?
Oldest saying out here.. If it ain’t broke.. Don’t fix it.
Detecting LIDAR is effectively pointless. In all but a very rare set of circumstances, it only means that you already got the ticket. You need to check out effective laser jammers like Blinder or Laser Interceptor, but please be aware they are illegal to use in California.
For complete protection you therefore need a GPS detector, a radar detector and a laser jammer. Cheetah GPS detectors are the only ones that let all three parts of your defense work together as one complete integrated system.
Of course we’re not competing against the V1. We make a Cheetah Radar Detector Interface to plug into the V1 to help with fake alarm suppression.
We don’t make Radar Detector Interfaces for all radar detectors, only the excellent ones. If we didn’t rate the V1, we wouldn’t have bothered to make an interface for it, now would we?
As the average red light camera ticket in California has now gone up to $436, rather than bashing our product, I would urge you watch some of the other videos on the C100 to see how it can enhance your V1 experience.
You’re not looking at the larger picture. You’re only looking at mobile camera vans. The Valentine 1 is fantastic for detecting radar but it doesn’t alert to red light cameras, speed cameras, speed-on-conservational red light cameras or point-to-point average speed cameras. It doesn/’t give you reminders about well known speed trap areas where the police might be using Instant On or laser. You can’t mark locations on the Valentine 1. You can’t update it through the internet. That’s what the C100 is for.
And that’s the point. All K band sources are detected. This includes every Wallgreens, CVS, gas station and mall car park because automatic doors mostly use K Band radar in the police spectrum. These are the most irritating fake alarms for most radar detector users. When you hook up a C100 to the Valentine 1 using a Cheetah Radar Detector Interface, the C100 can get rid of these falses using speed-sensitive automatic muting.
Mobile camera reminders on the C100 do not mean that the camera is necessarily here at that exact moment in time. They mean that you are approaching a location where police are well known to set up mobile traps, so be on the look out in this area.
I’ll say it again. The Cheetah C100 is not a radar detector so it doesn’t detect radar. It alerts to locations that are stored in its database and memory. The point of the product is to alert to fixed speed cameras, red light cameras, speed-on-conservational, point-to-point cameras, etc. It can help for mobile traps by alerting to the fixed locations where they are often set up, or by alerting to locations that they mark themselves.
I work for Cheetah. Of course our videos are here to help clarify Cheetah products. The title of the Channel should be a clue.
This video was made as a act of kindness for the radar detector convergence to show a new threat that folks should take sincerely, and perhaps re-evaluate how they treat low strength freeway alerts. It shows how small range even a fantastic detector like the V1 has against some of the latest camera vans. Cheaper detectors (sub $300) won’t even give an alert until you pass the van.
The key here folks is a excellent warning from radar units and LIDAR units where ever they may be. The fact is a GPS unit does NO excellent to a driver driving down a road he/she has never been down …But, a Valentine 1 is certainly going to give proper warning to any threats. END OF STORY.
And in response to your “fake alarms” comment.. The valentine 1 has the best fake alarm supression system on the market. Seldom do I ever get X band alarms, and all K and KA radar bands are detected…Anyone that owns a Valentine 1 long enough will know what type of signals to pay attention to or not.
I live in California, and I HAVE been in AZ and I HAVE veteran their radar vans, my Valentine 1 gave ample time to brake to dodge speeding tickets. YOu still haven’t answer MY questions..
WHAT GOOD IS YOUR PRODUCT IF THEY MOVE THE SPEED VAN SOMEWHERE ELSE?????
WHAT GOOD IS YOUR PRODUCT IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY PASSED BY A SPEED VAN IN THE FIRST PLACE IN ORDER TO MARK A GPS LOCATION???
