LI didn't notify when hit with laser or what?

[noTe]

Ok, I was driving tonight (luckily only doing 5 over tonight) and my V1 went off three times and my laser interceptor did nothing at all.

The officer was sitting sideways shooting laser (No idea on what gun he was using) where the highway and exit split. I would say I received the alert around 300 or 400 feet away. I have never had an issue with the LI not detecting laser. After this I went and checked the heads and they looked fine and clean. I wipe them off from the salt and snow every other day.

So anyways I wiped the heads off again just in case and tried to drive past that exit again but the car was up ahead further with someone already pulled over. I turned around off another exit and headed home. When I was headed home a Ohio State Trooper hit me with a Marksman 20/20 (at least that's what the LI said) about 400-500 feet and I was alerted by both the V1 and LI. However the V1 alerted me about a second or two faster than the LI. I wonder if this makes a difference?

So basically I have no idea why the first local officer was able to get a hit and the OSP wasn't. Maybe the first local officer was shooting above my car hence why the V1 went off? There is a fourth lane that opens on the right side for the exit I got off on. Check the picture below to see what I'm talking about.

Any ideas on what may have happened?

My V1 alerts to laser a good 3 seconds before my LI alerts. It's scary sometimes. How long did the V1 alert to laser when your LI didn't alert?

probably shooting above or past your vehicle.

the V1 is hyper sensitive to laser (as it should be) it generally goes off a split second before my ZR3 does if I'm being shot center mass.

This is exactly why I tested my setup thoroughly with two different guns and quickly with a total of 4 guns. I dont believe in blind faith. I know my setup works because I tested it. I suggest that everyone else does the same.

i understand V1 is sensitive to laser, but i just past my airport area last night where i'd usually get tons of laser alerts from the X50 out of nowhere, probably from the runway visibility system.. But V1 did not alert at all. Good sign or bad sign?

My belscorts give laser alerts all the time around airports while my V1 stays silent. So probably a good sign.

V1 alerts sooner, and tis is normal, just thing on those false alerts on V1 :-) also there is another reason why... V1 is mounted INSIDE you car behinde front glass , and LI is out. First inpresion would be that LI have easier job of detecting it because it is out, but main difference is the word detecting.. alerting to it and detecting ANY IR beam and dedicated patern of pulses in IR beam is 2 different stories, also in this case when V1 is behind the glass , this same glass is acting as a one big lens, it is a IR filter (pulse filter) but IR light will come thru, filtered and then hit V1 big ass lense and make alet, so in this case how big is your scrand defines a possibilty to detect (alert) some scater of IR light..

I am sure that in first run you ware not targeted at all, and V1 was alerting to some IR reflections..

Well, I never have received a laser alert getting off this exit before and this is the same exit I get off to work five days a week. I'm pretty sure the officer was probably shooting laser above my roof which would explain why the V1 went off and the LI didn't.

Just making sure everything works because I've been happy with my LI and I was scared ****less when it didn't go off, haha. Thanks for all of the replies everyone!

Or his scope was misaligned from the actual beam which is plausible. Maybe he was really aiming at you but missed due to that issue. It would be a shame if there were actually a semi behind you moving at a rapid pace and he got hit with Lidar instead of you. That would have been one undeserved ticket for you and a ticket that probably happens too often to others. I again advise you to contact someone with a gun and test your setup.
