Speeding Photo Cameras are detected and defeated by our Photo blocker. The SCD mounts on your license plate, but does not include a license plate frame. the SCD speed camera jammer detects speed cameras, photo radar traps, mobile photo vans, alerts to those types of speed traps and provides an electronic shield preventing photographs of your license plate. The SCD is a photo blocker and can be switched into a second mode of operation called, license plate lights only. A photo radar speed camera trap is typically installed along the highway or on bridges for one purpose. Speed Cameras are designed to photograph your license plate and to get as many speeding violations as possible. This is done by photographing the vehicle license plate and mail speeding ticket to as many people as possible. In many cases it is an automatic process and no police officers are involved.
Photo Traps Generate Millions For Local Municipalities. The photo speed camera manufacturers, such as Gatso, Multanova, Truvelo are frequently contracted by the police to install the cameras where the traffic patterns are always fast, and let the money roll in. Free money to the local government and all they have to do is photograph your license plate as you drive. A well located photo speed trap generates in excess of one million dollars a year in high traffic areas of cities. Amazing isn’t it? Here is some more interesting information.
In most cases the trap is controlled by a radar gun. Sometimes it is a laser based system, but the technical approach is essentially the same. It may be an X band, K band, Ku band or Ka band radar gun.
The radar gun is aimed across the road, typically at 22 – 25 degrees, and as you enter into the radar beam, it calculates your speed at that angle, and determines if you are driving above a certain speed set point. In some cases the photo is from the rear, which means that you actually pass the physical camera, then enter the radar beam as you drive by, and the camera takes a photo from the rear
The rear photo trap as shown left in image A is the most difficult to detect with a radar detector, since the photo radar trap faces the back of your car as you drive by the camera. The radar detector is designed to detect radar coming towards the detector, but a Photo Trap configured to detect the back of your car as you drive through the trap, makes it nearly impossible to detect the radar in time to slow down. Even a superb radar detector can not provide enough warning in situation A. That is where a photo blocker will help the driver, since the SCD photo blocker will detect the camera and prevent the photo of your plate registration. If the trap shoots radar at your vehicle as you approach the radar trap (see B image to the left), a good radar detector would provide 500-1000 feet advance warning of the trap as you are driving towards it. Sometimes the speed trip point is only 2-3 mph/kph above the speed limit. This is a money maker for the local government, since nearly everybody will be a little over the speed limit from time to time. Other times the set point is a more reasonable 7-10 mph/kph above the speed limit. If all photo traps were installed in the B configuration, a radar detector would be sufficient. But you never know what will be encountered, front or rear photo traps; so a Photo Jammer would be a good solution for you.
Once the trip point has been reached, the radar sends a signal to the camera as to when to flash, such that the registration plate (and often the driver’s face) is right in the middle of the photo image.
PROTECT YOURSELF with the SCD photo blocker! It does not matter how fast you are driving, as the radar gun or laser gun tells the camera when to flash based on your speed. They got you!!...Unless you have our SCD Speed Camera Jammer.
The SCD speed camera jammer and photo radar detector is designed to prevent photographs of your license plate. Even if two camera attempts are taken, we can protect your license plate. No image, no photo, no Ticket in the Mail.
Competitive, anti-photo plate covers do not work and are usually illegal. The SCD does not cover your license plate. It operates as a license plate light, which is a requirement in most US and Canadian cities. We just know how to light the license plate up very well. The new photo traps use digital imaging and infrared imaging, which can not be defeated by products such as Photo Spray, (comes in a variety of names), and license plate photo radar cover.
The photo blocker does not cover the license plate, does not interfere with the police if they wish to look at your license plate, but the SCD will instantly prevent a photograph of your license plate, when a photo speed camera attempts to get your plate registration. No photo ticket in the mail!
Speed trap cameras are set up to take pictures from the front of your vehicle, or as shown in the B image, the photo speed camera can photograph from the rear of the vehicle. Most front photo speed traps are very difficult to detect by a radar detector, and the rear photograph is next to impossible to detect, except by the SCD speed camera defense.
