    ECCM, I wish you would do a 5 minute video explaining how this works. if i'm shot with lidar and am using a jammer, and the gun has ECCM mode on, what is the end result? does the gun acquire my speed because it recognizes it is being jammed and adjusts the pulse so that your jammer can no longer jam the lidar gun. it would be nice to understand how ECCM works and what are the countermeasures to the ECCM countermeasures. Also, vaporware Theia when it arrives, will it offer advantages to ECCM that other laser jammers don't offer? Good 5 minute Friday topic. Frankly, Lidar scares the hell out of me.

    What is the effective range of these type of guns? (What would hold up in court?)
    Do u know the furtherest distance you were shooting? I have always understood these guns are only good under 1/2 mile, is this still true?
    When shooting the far away cars that lidar beam had to be spread out enough to be getting an easy alert in vehicle.

  • @elwoodleonard6367

    In your video you briefly mentioned that the new Dragoneye has VASCAR capabilities. Considering that VASCAR is basically a complex timing device and does not send out a signal, I would assume that would defeat any laser detector/jammer and therefore should be mode of choice for police. I’m surprised that mode is not being used.

    • @VortexRadar
      @VortexRadar  Před 2 lety +3

      Almost every radar and laser gun offers that. It’s more annoying and laborious to use. Pointing and clicking is way more convenient and also valid for issuing tickets.

    • @straightpipediesel
      @straightpipediesel Před 2 lety +1

      VASCAR usually requires fixed distance markings in the road, which are easy to recognize, but also means the officer is in fixed locations.

    What does a Lidar gun do differently in "weather mode" than in normal mode? More power? Filtering? Waiting for multiple returns to check accuracy?

    • @VortexRadar
      @VortexRadar  Před 2 lety +4

      Main thing is ignore close range reflections where rain/snow has the most impact so it reduces the minimum range of the gun.

    The fact that departments spend money on these because of their ECCM is laughable. They surely know it isn't effective anymore right? And what are the odds that any one car they shoot will have laser jamming equipment installed where they even need to worry about it? DragonEye seems more interested in separating departments from their tax payer dollars than doing anything useful I'd say.

    • @francoisrivard893
      @francoisrivard893 Před 2 lety +4

      You can beat it. We all do regularly by paying attention / driving heads-up... The officer needs a line of sight directly to your vehicle and actively target you. I.E. if you pay attention, you'll see him long before you get targeted and it'll show up on Waze in instants. You might say: What if I'm the only vehicle or around a bend? They don't bother with low traffic areas / situations because: Effort is required. They don't typically setup with short sightlines either as they pick an choose which vehicle they target because: Effort on each and every vehicle...

      @@alanfield735 I got targeted with Lidar tonight on a country road in the dark, around a bend. As mentioned above the officer has to hit a good flat surface target to get reading. What gave Johnny Law his stealth was also his defeat as I was a moving target going around the bend. I got the rear antenna signal, instantly jumped on the brakes, the GT350's massive 6 piston calipers did their thing, and by the time ol' Johnny got a reading, I was below the limit. He knew he'd been beat and the signal went away as quickly as it appeared.

      if you have the refelxes of a cat and slam on the brakes you may beat it depending how stealthy you car is. a black car with small head lights and no front plate may take longer to aquire than a big truck with big head lights and a front plate

      Most cops don't even bother with laser in my experience so far. It's about effort vs reward. If they can drive down the road with their radar in "constant on" mode and catch like 98+% of the speeders out there why bother doing anything else? One good thing about cops, they're still humans and humans on the whole take the path of least resistance. I have seen police use laser but overall it is pretty rare. I know personally I have never been busted by one and I use to get busted a LOT.
