Of all the radar and laser detectors available in the industry.Valentine One is unique. V1 is the only detector equipped with two radar/laser antennas, one in the front of the unit and one at the rear, allowing you to scan in 360-degrees around your vehicle and accurately locate each specific radar threat.
All of the other "ordinary" radar detectors are fitted with just a single antenna facing forward, for them to protect the flanks and the rear of your vehicle; the manufacturers of these detectors are hoping that the signals will bounce towards the front opening out of pure luck. Valentine One makes use of its front and rear antennas, both reporting to an onboard microprocessor to analyze and precisely locate of every radar threat, this is either accomplished by direct reception by a single antenna or triangulation between the two antennas.

Full Time POP Defense
Valentine One is designed with a true full-time POP Protection, the "POP" method of catching speeders is the latest technology used by law enforcement, and delivers signals in "bursts", making it very difficult for ordinary radar and laser detectors to defend against. But not Valentine One, just plug it in, turn it on, and you're fully shielded against radar and laser incursions.
With V1, you have the option of added privacy.
Getting tired of other annoying drivers bunching up behind your car so they can leech off your detector's defensive features? Maybe you simply want to keep a low profile. Well, here's an optional remote display that perfectly partners with Valentine One, moving all you're the visual alerts to your most comfortable location while V1 stays on duty set in dark mode.
The Concealed Display text may be directly connected to the Lighter Adapter. Or you may want to mount it anywhere using the self-adhering interlocking fasteners, and then connect with the included power cord to either the direct-wire power adapter or lighter adapter, which are both packaged accessories of V1.
The Mute and Mode selections are selected via the Control Knob on the Display, while the On-Off and Volume adjustments still remain on the main V1 unit.
This optional compact module only measures 1.0-in. H x 2.5-in. W x 1.2-in. D. In a satin-black finish, matching V1.
Valentine One's opinion on cordless.
Here's the deal, there is no cordless version of Valentine One. True, it's possible to have radar detector run on two ordinary AA batteries, but you definitely have to give up a lot of the high performance features.
Simply said: "Performance takes power". There's really no getting around the rule. Batteries are a weak power source. That's why the electric cars in use now, have battery packs which weigh hundreds of pounds, yet very few of them can reach 100 miles without a recharge
A radar detector functions similarly to a sentry as it makes its rounds. If the area to be guarded is small, then he can easily watch often and carefully. If you expand the area, then he only has time for only short peeks before he moves on. When "superwide Ka" radar guns began to surface a few years ago, the microwave territory a car radar detector is obligated to watch was expanded over 1000 percent, as compared to the olden days of only simple X and K bands. Right now, our sentry needs a boost of extra food and energizing drinks to cover his field.to radar detectors, this means more circuits, and more demanding power requirements.
According to the manufacturer's website: "SOLO S2 uses only a fraction of the power used by conventional corded detectors,"
This is bad, as it would entail a definite loss in performance. The SOLO S2's so-called "High-Efficiency Power Management" works by putting the sentry to sleep mode over 85% of your driving time. It simply automatically turns off the power-utilizing detector circuitry.
A sentry that's asleep can't reliably give an early warning when a radar gun is fired in the instant-on mode. In this instance, give up on the possibility of detecting the widely used POP mode.
Definitely, the convenience of a cordless detector is unparalleled. Rest assured that Valentine One would be in the works of making one.once the laws of physics are re-written.
