In the realm of speed enforcement, technological advancements are often incremental, with occasional updates that don't drastically change the playing field. However, every so often, a revolutionary leap occurs, upending everything that came before. In the world of laser guns, this leap comes in the form of the DragonEye® LIDAR (Laser), a game-changing tool that presents new challenges for drivers who prefer to travel quickly.
What is the DragonEye Gun?
The DragonEye is not just another laser gun; it's a laser-jammer defeating technology that requires serious consideration for anyone concerned about speed enforcement. Unlike its predecessors, the DragonEye uses a sophisticated approach to measuring speed that makes traditional laser jammers obsolete. For those who rely on these jammers for protection, staying ahead of the DragonEye requires the most advanced defense systems available, such as the AL Priority Laser Defense Kit (Standalone), or working alongside a Radenso RC-M or NetRadar radar detection system.
How Old Laser Guns Work
Traditional laser guns measure a vehicle's speed by emitting a series of laser pulses at a fixed rate, which bounce off the vehicle and return to the gun. The device calculates speed based on the time it takes for these pulses to travel to the vehicle and back, allowing it to determine the rate of distance change. This predictable pulse pattern makes it relatively easy for laser jammers to interfere by sending back their own pulses, tricking the gun into disregarding the readings.
The DragonEye® Difference
DragonEye guns operate using a variable pulse rate (VPR), which means their pulses are unpredictable to traditional laser jammers. The pulses appear random, making it nearly impossible for the jammers to send back matching signals to confuse the device. Although these pulses feel random to standard jammers, they are actually pseudo-random, governed by an algorithm known only to the DragonEye's developers. This built-in algorithm allows the gun to perform accurate speed calculations despite the seemingly erratic pulse pattern.
Software and Adaptability
What sets the DragonEye apart as a formidable adversary is the manufacturer's commitment to regular software updates. These updates can alter the anti-jamming algorithms, rendering previous jammer tactics ineffective. As such, staying protected requires a significant financial commitment from companies developing jammers, involving frequent research and purchases of updated units. AL Priority stands out as one of the only companies consistently able to adapt to and defeat every iteration of the DragonEye, making them the preferred choice for those seeking reliable laser defense solutions.
DragonEye Variants
Drivers should be aware of the different DragonEye LIDAR models:
-
DragonEye Speed Laser: The flagship model, featuring large optics for excellent long-range capabilities. Comparable to the older Laser Ally model.
-
DragonEye Compact LIDAR: A smaller, lightweight version, this model utilizes the same advanced anti-jamming technology but with slightly reduced long-range effectiveness.
-
DragonCam Photo LIDAR: This integration of a DragonEye Lidar gun with a high-resolution camera allows officers to issue tickets from the comfort of their vehicles. The DragonCam takes a photo of your license plate along with the speed reading, making contesting tickets in court extremely difficult.
Laser Defence
As speed enforcement technology evolves, the DragonEye LIDAR represents a significant leap forward, challenging drivers and jammer manufacturers alike. With its innovative pulse technology and regular software updates, the DragonEye gun is a formidable tool in speed enforcement.
Those serious about protecting themselves from DragonEye's advanced capabilities should consider investing in the most reliable defence systems available, like the AL Priority Laser Defence Kits.
