Talex GPS Speed Camera Detection System

Speed cameras are here to stay. Speeding tickets are expensive. Insurance costs are escalating for people with more speeding ticket points on their licence. Talex, with GPS technology is not just a speed trap alert system, but a road safety device that will warn the driver of fixed, mobile and red light cameras. 

How It Works:

? Talex is our own brand name for the GPS enabled Speed Camera Detector.
? GPS stands for Global Positioning System, and can be used to pinpoint a position anywhere on the Earth's surface.
? The Talex unit can store around 150,000 positions in its database.
? The Talex unit also has an LED display on the front of the unit, which provides additional information to the voice announcements.
? The Talex unit is easy to install, fixing to the dashboard using a small rubberised magnet, with a peel off sticky base. Insert the power jack into the cigar lighter, it is now ready to use.
? The Talex unit is updated via the website.

The Facts

? In the year 2002/2003 more than 1.5 million drivers paid ?73 million in speeding offences alone.
? In the year 2003/2004 this figure is expected to increase to 3 million drivers providing over ?180 million of fine revenue.
? Just two speeding endorsements are likely to cost between ?700 and ?1,500 extra in insurance premiums over the following five years.
? 30,000 people lost their licences during 2002 through the totting up system having accumulated 12 points on their licences.
? In a recent Fleet News survey involving more than 200 companies, the fourth most important issue facing fleets is that of speeding and speed cameras. Health and safety ranked as the most important issue.
? In a recent Fleet News health and safety survey 15.8% of fleet operators said a driver had been banned for motoring offences in the past year.
? Almost 30% of the UK?s 2.8 million company car drivers have points on their licences, nearly double that of the average driver. Features Capabilities of detector ? Warning of fixed speed camera monitoring systems.
? Warning of red light camera monitoring systems.
? Warning of possible mobile monitoring sites.

Lidatek are the world leading manufacturer of laser diffusers. The LE30 is their latest model and it is the only effective defence when a laser gun is fired at your car. It actually stops the laser from recording your speed for 5 seconds and gives you a visual and audio alert inside the car so you have time to check your speed and, if necessary, safely reduce your speed to the posted limit. This allows a driver to correct the car's speed before getting a ticket. The manufacturer's purpose is not to encourage speeding, but to allow people who are following the flow of traffic or who have drifted above the speed limit to adjust to the proper speed before being fined.The LE 30 detects the laser beam from the police speedtrap and then fires back a laser signal on the same frequency which prevents the laser gun's computer from computing the speed reading.

WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT IT?

• It uses the same type of Laser diode that is actually used in police laser guns. Other diffusers often just use a lower cost diodes that can still do the job but take more energy to do so and can suffer power fade over time.
• A single transponder is enough to provide protection for most cars, making the installation much easier.
• You can add up to two extra transponder units easily if you need to. Therefore you can mount one on the rear of your car to protect you from being targetted from behind, or an extra one on the front if you are driving a larger vehichle or just desire the highest level of protection.
• On larger vehicles like a Range Rover or other 4x4's, it's best to use two transponders which you should mount 20-24 inches apart, equidistant from the centre of the car. You should also use two transponders if your car has a lot of chrome on the front
• The vast majority of the time, police laser is shot at approaching vehicles. Front targeting gives the officer more time to pick out the vehicle. Targeting from the rear is done, but is quite rare on average across the country. We recommend focusing your efforts on the front of the vehicle, as you can always add units to the rear later. There is no sense in wasting money on a function you don’t need.

HOW DO I USE IT ?

With the exception of powering up, nothing will be heard from the LE-30 system and only a green LED should be visible under normal driving conditions. When Laser pulses are detected, the LE-30 sounds an alarm from the speaker and the LED flashes red.

The Laser ECHO LE30 only echoes for 5 seconds and then shuts off and recycles for 30 seconds. This Auto Shut-off is designed to allow the Laser diode in the LE30 to cool down. The LED turns orage to let you know this is happening. After an alert, the LE30 goes back to standby mode, confirmed by two beeps from the speaker.

This auto shut-off feature actually works very well. You have 5 seconds, more than enough time, to adjust your speed during jamming. It then turns off allowing the police officer to get a speed reading after you have come down to the speed limit. It's better than most other systems, which often require you to turn off the jamming system with a switch. That could be distracting and you'll always forget to do it, arousing suspicion.
