Blackspot Interactive Ltd. Laser Alert.

mounted on windscreen.
If you are an owner of a
GPS system or other speedtrap warning device that does not have
laser detection and you want to be informed about a laser signal
then this is one device you should consider.
The Blackspot Interactive Laser Alert is
a stand alone laser detector for your car. It warns you about
laser signals from laser speedtraps such as the safety camera
vans you see all over the place.
Above: Laser Alert box contents.
In the box is the main Laser Alert unit, windscreen bracket with rubber suckers, dash mount, power
cable and instructions, although using the unit is rather simply,e
as it has no control buttons, not even an on/off switch.
The Laser Alert unit has two extra sockets on the
side, one for an extra laser detector if needed and an ear phone
socket.

mode.
Warning Modes are simple. When
picking up a signal from the front of the car, the FRONT RED LED
will stay on and Rear and Aux red LED's will flash alternately.
From the rear the REAR RED LED will stay on and Front and Aux
red LED's will flash alternately.
The Laser Alert has the following features,
Front & rear laser detection , Directional ultra bright LED
alerts , No false alarms , Range up to 2km , Magnetic quick release
mounting for dash and/or windscreen , Fully portable, powers off
cigarette lighter socket.

In use how did we find it. On our
test road we got over 2000ft warnings without fail. Laser warnings
can be a bit misleading though. When the test car was in front
of all the other cars the warning almost told you that you may
have just been nicked. When the test car was in a group of vehicles
the driver had time to slow down. Used in the right way you should
get good enough warnings to be able to slow down in time.
Overall the Laser Alert is a welcome addition
to any system that does not have laser detection built in and
its the best way to deal with laser operated safety camera vans
without going down the route of a Laser Jammer which are now getting
some bad press and police attention.
