Rule #1.............WAIT 10 or more seconds between shots! Some detectors are KNOWN to park on a frequency for at least 10 seconds after detecting a signal.
Rule #2.............Time the shots! In the first video we can tell your pulls are at or under .5 seconds. In the 2nd and 3rd video we have no idea how long the operator was transmitting. Could have been a second or more.
One other thing........the Kustom Eagle your shooting could be 13 or more years old and be a little on the worn side. It's a safe bet that a new Eagle or Stalker unit would be a bit faster at aquiring a target speed.
The principle of your test was great, but the controls were not there.
This wasn't a test for detectors and their response times, it was a test to see if distance and moving changed QT results, and show a LEO's point of view.
Rule #1, the V1 parks not the Escort. Besides we tested at very long pauses. 40 videos would get boring.
Rule #2 No need to time it because if the LEO cant get a speed reading it doesn't count. The whole timing thing is unnecessary (BOGUS), and this is why a DSR X2 needs to be tested with both points of view. If a LEO QT's at .2 seconds and doesint get a reading whats the point.
We did a ton of runs some with extreme amounts of time before QT pulls and some like the last video. The point was to show a LEO's point of view and showing the CI alerting to QT pulls while moving at a distance. There are tons of driver point of view videos showing what we beleve to be QT but without seing the LEO doing it its possible he may not have gotten the speed.
Ether way this is a baseline to start from, and shows proof there is a difference when moving or at a farther distances. At least its closer to real world than any other tests we have seen.
