Just wanna chime in here! I'm in Calgary alberta (3 hours South of Edmonton) and I get hit with DragonEye daily. DALA is being ran province wide in AB/BC - but I do get hit with an Ultralyte on occasion in Calgary. If you're anywhere in Canada, get AT LEAST 2 front heads. You won't regret it!
Troy Nilson from Edmonton... Isn't it annoying how the RCMP just sit on the bridges on the QE2
The term LIDAR is an acronym for Light Detection and Ranging. The term lidar is used when referring to a speed measurement device that uses laser technology for speed, if people did not know.
Would you recommend anything specific for a motorcycle? As far as brands.. also if there is an integrated radar as well. Thanks for the videos!
Thanks for taking the time to present all of this info!I am getting ready to purchase a set of ALPs along with Net Radar and the hifi module. Before I push the button, I would like your opinion on # of heads. I have a 2016 Challenger, and am wondering if you recommend 2 or 3 heads up front. I rarely ( maybe once a year) see a LEO on an onramp shooting from behind so am thinking one head in the back directly over the license plate. What do you think?
One definitely is NOT a good idea, especially on a car that wide. It's better to do it right and not try to cut corners with this install. On the front, you could get by with 2, but I'd really recommend 3 for a car that wide. For more in depth information about how many heads you need, take a look at this guide: www.vortexradar.com/2016/01/alp-setup-guide-part-2-deciding-how-many-heads-you-need/
Hi I'm also in WA, could you recommend someone in Seattle area that can professionally install this system? Thanks
hey mate , are these worth the extra money over the Laser Interceptors against Poliscan ?
in the market to buy and would appreciate your opinion
keep up the good work also
i found a used al priority system can i still register it even if it has been registered before?
My friend, I sent donation to your cause! keep up the good work!
Quick Question: I am in California. Laws says under 4 heads its "fix it" ticket. 4 and over is misdemeanor. I want to stay under 4 just for less risk of trouble. I drive e90 M3. Will one head in the middle in the back provide any worthy protection or should I just get 2 fronts and run with naked butt?
Thanks so much!
Now I'm not a lawyer or anything and this isn't legal advice by any means, but I've heard people talk about this and I can tell you that as long as you kill your jammers quickly after you're shot, you'll have no issue. People have been doing that for years with no issue.
now that said, if you want to run fewer heads, one head will help in many situations but will obviously leave some holes in your level of protection. Fortunately in CA it looks like laser is almost exclusively in the front of vehicles. There are a few reports of rear laser shots, but they are very rare. Here's some reading on the subject: www.rdforum.org/showthread.php?t=51644&highlight=lidar+rear+california
How about Radar Camera, we have a lot it around, will it help?
I don’t know about South Louisiana but lidar is rare in North Louisiana. As a matter of fact I've only seen it once on i-20 close to Monroe, LA
I have a nissan 350z. I'm planning on getting the ALP for my car. I wanted to know do you have the extension wire for your front sensors? I'm not sure if the sensors wires are long enough. I'm not going to get the rear right now due to they don't target the rear in H - town. (Houston) Thanks for all that you do for us.
I've never heard of anyone needing them for the front. In my car I didn't even need them for the rear. The cables are 2.5m long which is often enough for some smaller vehicles. I'd imagine it'd be similar on your Z. There's a couple guys on RDF who've done installs on 350Z/370Z's and you could always check in with them too, but if you're not doing the rears either way, don't worry about it. :)
I live in arizona and we have lots of speed traps and cameras here. Would 2 regular and 1 tx sensor front and back be overkill or perfect for a 2016 mb c63s sedan.
For laser that’d be great. You’ll also need a good radar detector too to help against the photo speed traps.
Does it work for speeding cameras?
How many heads would you recommend for front and rear on a civic si? Pretty small car. If I put two in the back they'd only be the width of the license plate apart. So I'm thinking 2 front 1 rear?
2 heads per side on any car, minimum. If you have DragonEyes in your area, you'll want 3 up front instead of 2.
for 2019 what is the best jammer.what do you recommend for a 2019 camaro and can I do it my self. thank you Fred ps is there a radar
ALP still
how far apart away from each other, in the install? aND how many feet/or inch off the road...
In Victoria, Australia, they'll nail you for 1 to 2 kph over the limit (1mile = 1.6 kilometers). They find a jammer on your vehicle, jammer gets confiscated, max fine $1200, usually around $400
this has a loop hole as its actually a parking sensor so its legal
is it working in the Uk or Europe ?
Do I need two or three heads for my Kia Forte GT?
Add Colorado to the list of states using Dragoneye guns. They showed a readout on the news of someone speeding at 100mph+ near Denver. The readout was on a Dragoneye gun (not the compact version, for whatever that may be worth)
Thanks for the heads up!
great job on the vids! can you do one on motorcycle head placement?? thanks!
If you hop onto RDF you can find examples of other people's motorcycle installs and post up a photo of your own bike for recommendations. :)
sorry whats rdf?
Oh sorry, it's the radar detector forum.
Here's the section where you can check out other people's installs. Scroll through and you'll find some bikes. www.rdforum.org/forumdisplay.php?f=39
and if you'd like help on finding the best placement locations for your bike, you can post up some pics here and people will help you out with suggestions: www.rdforum.org/forumdisplay.php?f=57
hi ive a bike the same as you and can show you how i installs mind if that any help
From Portland Seattle Eugene area... considering purchasing this, my Uniden R3 didn’t save me from laser
I'd definitely recommend grabbing a set of laser jammers then, the ALP specifically, to pair with your R3.
I have a hyundai elantra, 2 regular plus tx on front would be a good start right? Then can i add two to the back later down the line?
Yep sounds good
@VortexRadar what would you recommend for te back?
I'm confused because when I go to the ALP website...they have it listed as 2 sensors and 2 sensors + 1 TX Sensor. What is a TX sensor? Is the normal sensor the same as the head that you describe here?
AntiLaser Priority TX Sensors: Improving DragonEye Jamming Performance czcams.com/video/n72d2OB_mWk/video.html
Would you recommend buying ALPs secondhand if I can even find them?
+Anonymous User They rarely pop up second hand and they're usually not discounted much when they are, but sure that would work
@VortexRadar... Hey man, 2004 Dodge Neon. How many heads do you recommend for total coverage? any TX sensors?
TX would be good if you encounter the DragonEye
Vortex Radar do you think 4 heads would be enough for a neon? It looks good for your Miata!
For most guns yeah it'll be just fine. If you face a lot of DragonEye guns, I'd suggest opting for 3 per side. The most up to date info about that is here: www.vortexradar.com/2016/01/alp-setup-guide-part-2-deciding-how-many-heads-you-need/
4:12 He's been jammed in the rear. I bet you have.
Hey man so I just purchased the new uniden r3. I have a 2016 camaro. Would you recommend 2 or 3 heads for the front? Also what do you think about the veil g5 ? Would that be a good option?
On a wide Camaro, I'd recommend 3 heads. As for Veil, don't waste your money.
Vortex Radar well now I know what to ask Santa for Xmas haha thanks for the response
🎅🏼🚗
I love your videos- quick question- 2014 Ford Taurus, I plan on going with 3 heads in front- how many for the rear do you recommend? I live in Ma. Not many shots from the rear. Also- I’m on a budget....
If you want rear protection on a budget, get two heads and skip the rear Tx sensor. One head won't be sufficient.
I like your Miata . Fellow owner here .
Nice! Which Miata do you drive?
Vortex Radar 2006 Nc 1 limited edition . #953 out of the 3500 .
I'm wondering if i should do the full kit or buy the redline radar and get the alp laser jammer, still uncertain. I'm new to all this so any info/suggestions would be appreciated!
My vote goes to Redline 360c over Net Radar DSP.
@@VortexRadar I guess my final question would be the radenso RC M with the alp laser jammer or the escort redline 360c with the alp laser jammer
@@trevergonzales745 Both systems have pros and cons and there's not one universal answer that's best for everyone. You can schedule a private session if you'd like to discuss this in more detail for what's best for you. www.vortexradar.com/private-sessions/
How long do you have to slow down after the jammer activates / notifies ??
Hello, can a single sensor on motorcycle be enought for vpr guns? Will one sensor be enought for LTI 20-20 UltraLyte Micro Digi-Cam or TruSpeed/TruCam Pro Laser III? Do these guns have VPR? Thank you!
Those aren’t VPR guns and one head should be fine on a motorcycle against those simple guns.
@@VortexRadar Thank you so much for the advice and fast response (Y). What is approximately the area that can the one sensor cover?
Here’s some testing: www.raletc.com/2015-raletc-lidar-receiver-sensitivity-testing/
@@VortexRadar Ok, ill have a look, thank you ;)
Thanks
Does the alp only work for laser? How do I know if my local police use laser or regular radar?
Most police use both. The ALP handles laser, but you can plug many different radar detectors into it. I find the Net Radar works best. You'll find a bunch of info about it here: www.vortexradar.com/buy-a-radar-detector/
Geezes. This is a 2k system for me. I have a widebody challenger. I'll need 3 in the front and 2 in the back
How many heads do you think I should get for a pontiac g6 4 door, I'm thinking two, but I wanted to know if you think 3 would be better?
+Nick P 3 heads are now recommended up front these days.
Thank you sir, I know this isn't relative to this video, but I was wanting your opinion. Like I had told you I was interested in the max 360, but after watching some of your videos it seems like you like the valentine v1 a little better. I found some valentines on ebay for like 200 dollars. That seems like a way better deal to me.
Nick P It would be, but it's probably an old version that's missing some important features like the new blind spot filtering or ability to pair with your phone to get the same features the Max360 has. Check out this video before buying a V1: czcams.com/video/hnwxTFTEznM/video.html
Thank you
Thank u
is it complicated install or it has to be professionally installed
+amgmrs Really depends on the car. I did the install on my Sonata and it wasn't too bad. My Miata was tougher. I had a professional cut the holes in my grill, run the cables through my firewall, run the cables through my convertible's machinery, and fabricate a custom mount for my rear heads.
@@VortexRadar what was a reasonable price for labor on a miata?
I'm disappointed you didn't mention motorcycles. Is 1 front and 1 rear enough for a dragoneye???
+Bobby Bobante No sir. You need two per side for the DragonEye. I wish I could cover everything in one video. ;)
I wish 2 were enough. The ALP system with 4 heads is $1250 + $100 bluetooth.
Not cheap!! I think I'll just run the Uniden R3 for awhile and see how often lasers are being used in the area.
If the R3 picks up laser alerts....(hopefully I can avoid a ticket...)...and I'll make the ALP investment.
I think I'm going to get 2 for the front, and 1 for the rear.
On a supersport bike, the rear isn't very wide...so I really feel like 1 head back there should be enough.
Your thoughts? $1,100 is a big investment. lol
will ALP ever offer 3 in the front and 3 in the rear?
+DreadlockDrummer yep, it's in development and will work with existing hardware :)
nice! i drive between BC and Alberta a lot, and Edmonton is a frequent stop for me
I just use radar detector to know when there's a cop nearby. Not because I speed but because I like to know who I'm driving around and when I should be more cautious or less aggressive. Laser jammer I use just because I like my privacy.
where would i get this installed ? a auto repair shop
Yeah you can do it yourself or you can visit most any stereo installer type place. The main thing is knowing HOW you want it installed. Most installers can mount and wire your ALP, but they won't know the nuances of effective placement so you'll want to go over the details with them before they install it.
thanks for the quick response
also i have a 2009 bmw 528i xdrive how many sensors would u suggest for the front of my vehicle.
How much is a kit runing with 4 sensors?? Like the one in your car??? With everything included
+Jose Dario Depends on where you live. In the US a 4 head setup is $1250. If you want to add any accessories, that's extra. I recommend the HiFi module which is an extra $99.
+Vortex Radar California
+Jose Dario In that case, yeah. USA prices. You can spec out your ALP here: bit.ly/1NTHxud
Noob question; Does it blocks police signal or just alarm me !
Both! When the alarm goes off, it's blocking the signal on their end. Your job is to slow down and quickly disable your jammers (ideally in around 2-3 seconds) to allow the to get a speed reading and you're good to go.
.i was told by alp them selfs that one head on the front and one on the rear will give MORE than enought cover with any laser guns on the market today.you say two be better on the front to cover you again sum of the latest guns.have you tested this ??
dell boy we have tested it and against dragoneye you want 3 now
Max Laughren thanks for the reply.have you tested it on a motorbike with the dragon eye.and one alp head
Hours go by
This guy feels so cool saying he got shot
@vortexradar what part of Cali are you in bro?
Would you be willing to install my jammers?
I’m in the Seattle part. :p I don’t do installs, but there’s lots of people there who can help if you google around.
California
Alp system does it jam radar guns as well?
+Nathan A Unfortunately no. That's technically challenging and highly illegal.
Vortex Radar darn i see that alp has radar antenna ability to be added. But they didn't say if it be jam or not too. I'm from Ohio. And i get hit with ka band from the highway Patrol. I have the max 360. Though if I get alp I could jam everything and not worry much. But ok thank u.
So for a 5 head system your looking at over $2000 for a system I'd rather drive the speed limit or pay the fine.
A 5 head system for people who need complete protection is $1500. For most people a basic front only 2 head system for $750 will work too. Either way, for people who see laser frequently, and for some that's several times a week, the system pays for itself very quickly. It's not for everyone though so I'm glad you're weighing your options and considering what works best for you. :) Cheers!
Love your videos very informative and decided to look into laser protection too. As you said tho I don't see enough hits on my laser detector to make it a necessity at this point in time. I own a larger car and would need 5 laser heads for protection at this time it just don't pay for me to invest that kind of money for an occasional hit on laser. That being said $1500 is still a lot of cash for most people to invest when you already have upwards of $400-600 into a good radar detector for starters. Thanks for the reply.
+mrelectron62 Yeah I totally get that. You also gotta factor in the time/cost of installation too.
Try this.. run Waze with your RD. Unlike with radar, when an officer is shooting laser, they have to be stationary and so they're more likely to be marked on the app and you'll get warned before they shoot you. :)
This isn't a true substitute for laser since it's less useful at night or if they're really hiding, it doesn't help if they just arrived and haven't been marked yet, etc., but give it a shot and see how that works for you first.
mrelectron62 if you drive a pinto, just try to keep up. Save your money and upgrade your ride!
For the rest of us, pay attention to these videos. Insurance companies love to increase your premiums based on your driving records.
Why do folks like mrelectron62 even bother to troll these sites if they feel this tech is a waste of time and resources?
mrelectron62
No kidding, right?
The tech is cool but not worth the 💰
it's always good when you got Head in your car! :-P
jammer
Lots if you can afford them😔
You get more bang for your buck by just running a radar detector and Waze.
Ka band radar is still popular.
Lol I live in Alberta Canada and the only people that do rear laser is RCMP because they are ass holes and will probably pull you over regardless of if they get you speeding or can't get a reading so you are screwed either way 😂😂
Another Albertan here, unfortunately this is not the case. Both Edmonton and Calgary will shoot rear, Sheriffs and RCMP will shoot rear especially on overpasses, and most photo laser vehicles in our municipality only shoot rear. Do agree with the asshole part though, common trend among LEOs...
LOL we have plenty of asshole cops in NY too :-)
