New Radars in Perth and Radar Detectors
 

Sorry if this has been asked before (I did a search but didn't find anything), but does anyone know if a Beltronics STi radar detector will detect those new radars on the road? Well I suppose they aren't so new anymore, but I think you know what I mean.

Thanks

Darren

very poor if any protection all imo

the poliscan ? if so yes it will, it will come up "LASER" same goes for the hand held speed guns

Which one is the poliscan?

I'm was thinking about the new roadside camera's that seem to be replacing the old multanova's

yes that one

Ok thanks
And does that also mean (like handheld laser) that by the time you pick it up, its already too late? =(

This one is the Poliscan:

Your Bel can (somewhat) detect these when they are set up facing you, but when on the opposite side of the road, or when deployed in a "rear set-up" mode (taking a photo of your car after you've driven passed) you will get little to no warning.

whoops

nah the poliscan fires a more constant laser signal

guns are instant on

Lasers PEW PEW!

Is me old RX65 worth keeping these days? Got my first speeding fine in ~5 years last week and thinking about putting it back on the dash

Seen a new camera set up in the back of a van yesterday.

I have also seen this van setup a few days ago so I wasn't dreaming then

Yup.

Worst case it will let you know you got fined.

I've had epic early warning with my 9500ix when there is a bit of traffic to scatter the lasers (pew pew) around.

There is a place in Perth that can install laser jammers which will jam the new speed cameras and laser using hand helds not sure if it legal or not and it is abit pricey but it defantly works.

try not to exceed the speed limit in areas known to have speed cameras

my escort x50 is only there so I can see what voltage I have :) and it looks cool and on the very rare occasion a hwy patrol pay pop on his dashboard radar and it will be pinging K band

Lucky for us, these vans stand out like balls on a dog. Seen a couple of them now. Massive volkswagon vans.

They are also commonly in the back of Nissan X-trails too.

My Valentine 1 is still giving me large warning distances against Poliscans (roadside or van / x trail based). I got an easily 300 meter plus warning on Selby Street yesterday.

It does also have some effectiveness against reverse setups. Occasionally if there is enough traffic travelling in the opposite direction I'll get a "scattered laser" warning. I certainly don't rely on that occuring.

my escort x50 is intermittent against the poliscan LASER. but when it does pick it up, i can get a good 5 sec warning. other times it goes off when im right next to it etc. its still more than voltage display for me!

+2 my V1 picks them up from hundreds of metres away.


Jezza: Is it worth vertical mounting the V1 yet?

Not for the Poliscans mate. No difference.
Unfortunately (in my experience) rear Poliscan setups have the V1 go off just before the camera. I haven't had it reflect of cars in front and give advanced warning like Andrew & Boris have.

Food for thought:

All these new speed and red light cameras were rolled out mid last year. So the WA public has had almost 12 months exposure to them so far.

Number of fatalities on WA roads to date, as of the 25th of May 2011: 69

Number of fatalities on WA roads to date this time last year (May 2010): 64

In other words since the roll out of these additional cameras, the death toll on West Australian roads has increased by 7.8% despite revenue increasing by tens of thousands of dollars.

Aren't these things supposed to decrease the deaths on our roads?

Speed camera program.....fail much?

Any privately owned company that did not deliver on it's intended/stated outcome would be sued.

There was talk a while back about radar detectors in WA being made illegal, is this still the case?

Also jezza what reasonably priced detector do you recommend at the moment?

I've got one if your keen to have it.
No wrx = no radar needed :icon_prof

Whilst I am getting some "long" distance alerts the line of sight is paramount to the alert distance. Selby street being reasonably flat provides a decent long distance alert. Sites such as the one after Wellington Street on Stirling Highway is much shorter. I have also found that they are setting the camera much closer to Wellington St to lower the distance from the crest making the alert distance much lower.

I've also found that night time alerts are much better than day time alert distances. A higher mounting position with a slight downward angle helps as well.

I've spent hours analyzing alert distances in real life situations (not as much as the specialists though). In the end though just drive the speed limit as the reverse setup will in almost all situations give you no warning at all.

What have you got Karina?

At what angle are these set to the road, the roo bar on my offroad WRX is quite deep on the sides and if I was to move the plate over a couple of inches I'm pretty sure it would hide the last couple of numbers. My rear plate is also recessed in a JDM bumper about 5" & may help from rear facing cameras getting me.......been 6yrs but more through luck & diligence than anything else.

Cheers, I will leave it the way it is.

I have noticed Multinovas are showing up as Laser lately instead of KA band any body know why ?

hay guys
sorry to hijack
where would be the best place to get a beltronic sti-r radar ?

Multinovas in the metropolitan area have been replaced with laser based Poliscan speed cameras.

Delonix :D

thanks mate!

How much is "reasonably priced"? With the dollar the way it is, V1's have never been this cheap.

V1 = Best detector.

Jeremy @ Delonix = best person to deal with in Australia.

Next step - Laser interceptor front & rear setup for poliscan.

400 dollars from the valentine one site
jus sayin

Cheers Guys,

Checked the Delonix website - a bit confusing as has prices of $699 & $799 for the V1.
As stated Valentine 1 site only $400 however looks like they don't ship to Australia. :(

Spuds, sorry for the thread hijack..:o

Will the v1 from ebay work in australia?

Tip for people trying to save them a dollar or two on Radar Detectors:
Pay the tiny bit extra, get it from Delonix, if you have a problem, you take it back to Delonix. The last thing you want, is to save yourself $50,$100,$200 from buying on eBay/Gumtree/Some random US Site and have it fucked on arrival / programmed incorrectly / insert other bad item here.

I like just about every other person on Perth-WRX can recommend Jezza at Delonix for purchasing, support and after sales service. I have used Jezza on all of the above and have always been extremely satisfied.

So in conclusion, buy it from Delonix.
