Will a laser jammer defeat a photo laser speed trap?
A laser based, photo speed
trap camera is aimed across the road at 22 - 25 degrees
at the front of oncoming cars; or it is aimed at the rear
of the vehicle at the same angle across the road.
The laser beam is about 50 – 100 feet from the
vehicle, when the car crosses the laser beam. While the
M40 would detect the photo laser speed trap, the M40 jamming
path is to the front of the vehicle.
Where is the camera position - left, right or above?
Should one purchase an M40 and install 1 laser module
to the left at 22 degrees, 2 laser modules pointed down
the highway to catch laser guns and install the 4th laser
module at 22 degrees to the right? What if the camera
is at 4 feet height or a typical 10-12 feet height with
pole mounted speed cameras? Then the laser jammer may
or may not jam the photo speed trap. If the photo speed
trap was triggered by radar, then a laser jammer could
not jam the photo radar gun! So, it is not feasible to
use a laser jammer to defeat a photo laser speed camera.
The only sure way to jam a laser based, photo speed trap
or toll camera is to use an active Photo Jammer. The VF2
(for cars, trucks, SUVs) and VF1 (for motorcycles) do
not search for a radar signal, but detects the light flash
or infrared pulse of the speed camera.
