^ They're phasing out the Multanovas in WA - they haven't been replaced altogether. I've seen a few of them over the last month so they're definitely still active. What radar detector is that?


I've run into a few Poliscans with my V1 recently:

1) Hepburn Avenue east bound after Wanneroo Road.
Warning distance: 500m+ with the V1.
There was no traffic and the camera on a slight angle to the road.

2) Mitchell Freeway South after the Powis Street on ramp.
Warning distance: Approximately 120m with the V1 which is pretty poor.
There was a lot of traffic on the road but more importantly, the camera looked to be on a significant angle to the road (closer to 45 degrees than parallel).

3) Wanneroo Rd north bound before Beach Rd. See video below.
Warning distance: Approximately 300m with the V1.
There was no traffic and the camera on a slight angle to the road.



Note how the V1 begins to pick up laser scatter from the rear when it gets within 100m of the camera. Is this the signal scatter within the car which is hitting the rear antenna or is it from objects behind the car? If it is the latter, then why are we struggling to get any decent warning on a rear setup? The scatter should work in the same way...
