VIP FUNCTION OVERVIEW*
Radar warning
When the radar warning is activated, with the help of its state-of-the-art patch antenna
your Stinger VIP can detect even the latest radar devices such as MultaRadar CD and Tracking Radar, offering unmatched coverage and precision. Potential sources of interference, such as the vehicle interval radar of your own or other vehicles, are no longer a problem.
Laser alarms
The stinger’s laser receivers are extremely sensitive and are thus
able to offer early detection of practically every type of laser device currently in use. Laser guns, mobile devices in vehicles, tripod devices and fixed installations are all detected. Your VIP will show on the display which type of instrument is being used.
Laser shield
If desired, your stinger device can react to laser measurements within a fraction
of a second by activating its own laser for six seconds. The stinger’s side lasers also protect against single side sensors such as ESO 3.0 and AUTOVELOX.
SpotList alarms
The integrated European-wide fixed measurement GPS database
also covers measurements that do not use radar or laser. The speed limit at the measurement point is shown on the display.
The database is constantly updated and can be transferred to your stinger with the help of Stinger Desktop (PC/Mac) and a USB stick.
Section Control
In several European countries, speed is measured in fixed
section controls. Here, single measurements are not taken; instead your average speed over several kilometres is calculated. Cameras capture vehicles as they enter and exit the measurement section. Your stinger guides you through these sections by indicating the start and end points of the measurement section, displaying where you are in the section, calculating your average speed and informing you via a symbol whether you are travelling too fast.
Police check
Not all speed measurements are carried out correctly. The margin of error
is estimated at up to 80%. However, the authorities claim error-free execution thanks to their “standardised measurement procedures”. It is almost impossible for drivers to verify the accuracy of the measurement at a later date. In these situations, your stinger can help: it is the only system on sale anywhere in the world that stores information about speed measurements carried out. Amongst other data, speed, location, time, radar frequency and signal strength are stored and can be transferred to your PC for further processing. If a driver is accused of speeding, the data can determine whether doubts as to the accuracy of the measurement are well-founded, even if a lot of time has passed since the event. In such cases, consultation of a specialist is advisable.
Logbook function
When switched on, your stinger can support you by recording
your business and private trips. Data captured can be transferred to your PC for further processing.
