Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen SPEED DETECTION SYSTEMS A speed detection device (often called a radar gun) sends out either a microwave signal or beam of light. When this signal reaches its target, part of the signal is reflected or bounced back toward the emitting gun. The time required for the signal to leave the gun, bounce off an object, and return is used to determine a vehicles distance and speed. ▼ RADAR Radar (Radio Detection and Ranging) is a microwave system for det

SPEED DETECTION Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen ▼ LASER The Laser Speed Detection System, also called LIDAR (for Light Detection and Ranging), uses a laser gun that emits infrared light pulses just outside the spectrum of visible light. Each reflected pulse measures the speed of the object coming toward or going away from the laser gun. Unlike radar, the laser gun emits a very narrow beam of light, so it can pinpoint a speeding car within traffic. The infrared beam spreads out,

Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen INSTALLATION The LRD 6250SWS/LRD 6275SWS uses a highly sensitive horn-type antenna and IR laser sensor to receive laser/radar signals. Its sensitivity and range depend on the method of installation and the direction of the antenna/sensor in relation to the signal source. The inherent nature of radar waves makes them reflect off metallic surfaces. This is why these waves are so useful for measuring the speed of a vehicle. The IR laser light may re
