Valentine One Radar Detector - tested by Ex Cops!

Valentine One Radar and Laser Detector prides itself for being the only one which is featured with two antennas. Yes, you read it right, there are two antennas on Valentine One, both actively protecting you from radar gun threats at full 360-degrees.

The Valentine One radar detector antennas are located in both ends of your vehicle, one in the front, and one in the rear. This allows for precise directional location of any particular radar threat. Ordinary detectors have a single antenna, placed in the front of your car, offering defense in the front, and at the sides.the rear though, may be left somewhat unprotected, and relies on radar gun signals to hopefully bounce off and be detected by the antenna. With Valentine One's front and rear antennas, the two work singly, or hand in hand, in order to precisely locate the direction of the radar gun's signal.

The unit is also enabled with "Full POP Mode", unlike other radar detectors, wherein you select to turn on the POP mode protection, Valentine One, has it running from the time you plug the unit in. Even with full time POP protection, Valentine One's technology still manages to filter out harmless radar signals, resulting in very few false alerts.other brands have trouble with POP sensitivity, getting numerous false alerts, that's why they have it selectable.

Valentine One does not offer a cordless version, the manufacturer doesn't believe that high performance can be gained with battery powered radar detectors. Some battery powered models from other brands rely on "power efficiency systems", which they claim to prolong battery life, as the unit does not use so much power. In reality, the detector turns itself off around 85% of its total active time. Now when you think about it, having a radar detector sleeping most of the time in the highway as you speed your way to your destination, isn't a very welcoming thought. Valentine One is always on full power, ready to send alerts at the first reception of a threatening signal.

Laser detection
The manufacturers of Valentine One, fully understand the physics of detecting laser signals, they are aware that every laser threat encounter is unique, and puts all of these considerations when they designed Valentine One. The results of such encounters are dependent on the following factors:

a. The amount of sunlight within the detector's encompassed view.
b. The color of the vehicle where the detector is installed.
c. The distance from the lidar/laser gun.
d. The road geometry of the laser speed trap.
e. The traffic in between the car and the laser trap.

Concealed Display
Valentine One also has an optional "Concealed Display Module", it lets you place the Valentine One concealed from outsiders, is placed low in your car, still visible to your eyes only.
