It's a proven fact. Portable Radar/Laser Detectors (all of them) are less than 100% reliable at detecting "short-range" laser hits. Why? The beam is often too narrow to "strike" the laser sensors inside the dash/screen/visor mounted unit. At 300 metres from the Laser Speed Gun, the beam (laser pulse train) is approximately 1 metre (100 centimetres) in diameter. It fans out from a very narrow point of transmission. At 200 metres from the Laser Speed Gun, the beam is about 40 centimetres in diameter. Aimed at the front license plate, the top edge of the laser beam barely reaches the bottom of the car's windscreen.

Is there a way to be sure of receiving laser alerts reliably? It is possible with the right technology. Supplementary laser detection positioned in the area where the beam is aimed at your car solves the problem. With sensors mounted either side of the license plate, SureSpotter will always be triggered even with very short range laser hits. There is also the bonus of advanced warning - compared to dash/screen/visor detectors. Tests have shown that part of the laser beam (scatter) can skip under vehicles ahead and "strike" one of the SureSpotter sensors.

Motorists using SureSpotter LS-100 have been astonished to find that when "it" alerts their Radar/Laser Detector often remains silent. Imagine driving in an RD restricted area with just a dash/visor/screen mount "stealth" integrated Radar/Laser. You are targeted at short range by a Laser Speed Gun and do not get an alert. With little or no time to prepare for a stop, the result could be two tickets and confiscation of the expensive "undetectable" Radar/Laser. Ouch!!!

SureSpotter's optical filtering technology ensures that false alarms are virtually non-existent. When it alerts, you know it's a Speed Laser Gun. The small housings are very inconspicuous. When the receiver (lighter plug design) is removed, the system cannot be activated. Small and safe, SureSpotter LS-100 is a must for serious radar detector users.
