Camera Vans - Laser or Radar?

[rjben]

As above really. Is my radar dectector going to detect these or are they laser based?

The kind of vans I mean are the ones that sit on top of bridges with the flap on the side or back.

Cheers,

Rob

I was under the impression that they are all laser these days.

Once upon a time they may have been radar but not anymore. However some counties have mobile gatso's (basically a gatso on a trailer) that they can put up anywhere. Normally near road works but you know what they're like, they'll stick em anywhere they can make a few bob.

So stick with a laser jammer. Also radar jammers emit quite a lot of microwave energy so I'm not sure I'd want one in my car. Radar sensors to pick up gatsos are notorious for false readings, by all acounts your better off with a morpheous/blue origin type device.

Just for anybody interested, I got the following reply from UK SpeedTrap Guide:

Hi
I don't sell anything as it would be seen as a bias to the site.
I am testing the new LaserPro at the moment and the review will be done by
the 1st.
The vans use laser and the only real way is a jammer.
There ia also a new unit from Target the LE20 due out in a few weeks it the
replacement for the LE850 by far the best on the market.
Watch the site over the next week to see what's new and the best.

Hope this helps,
