    Default NEW PRODUCT FROM OVERSEAS. 100% IMMUNITY TO ALL CAMERA'S.

    :!: Has anyone heard of this new product that claims to defeat ALL forms of cameras no matter what by detecting thier flash and producing a blinding light over the license plates?

    Its called a:


    VF4 Photo Radar Equalizer


    I'm trying to get a price on this and more information but I cannot find anything but the ads. Does anyone know anything about this? According to the website this is the real deal and can stop ALL camera's. It sounds too good to be true. Here is the link:

    http://www.radardetectorshop.net/our...f1-details.php


    http://www.1stradardetectors.com/new...tory.php?id=71


    Please write back and let me know if this is for real. I would want to buy this of course since I was threatned with jail for having an anti-photo license plate and there is nothing on the books for this and pretty ,much no way I can see that the cops could catch you with it without knowing what to look for.

    How much does this cost and does it work as stated? :P

    The VF4 is old news, it's been around for quite a few years.

    The first-generation variant, from what I can recall, was proven by various independent hobbyists to unfortunately not have performed well enough to offer true/consistent protection.

    A second-generation variant improved performance - but offered no defeat for the newer digital camera technologies as well as video-based camera technologies.

    Save your money.

    VF photojammer is no longer in production.
    It's not 100%immune.VF cannot jam IR flash or double flash.

    ^ Thanks for the update!

    I had looked again at this product a couple of years ago, when cameras started popping-up here, but even at that time, I had noticed that Roy no longer carried the item, and also that it was getting rather hard to locate Internet retailers, too.

    Thanks for updating us here Stateside to let us know that it has indeed been discontinued.

    Default Oh Come on..

    The material on the internet indicates it is works 100% of the time. Also specifically indicates it works against double flash. It is offered for sale on that website.

    It seems like a really good idea. The camera targets the plate with say, infra-red. The equipment detects it and emits a blinding light over your license plate making it impossible for the camera to read.

    Could anyone reading this please confirm the product works? Why doesnt Radar Roy offer it anymore? There must bea reason. Perhaps if someone can get ahold of him?

    This looks like a perfect solution to covers being illegal.

    If it works most of the time that is better than nothing. If it works 3/4 of the time I would buy it also if it has a manual on switch for going through the toll booths when you are out of cash.

    Yeah,I know they say is jams IR flash and double flash,but that's not true.
    Only at night VF can detect/jam IR flash in daytime cannot detect IR flash because of sun and with double flash,it only detects/jam first flash.That's useless.It's not designed very well.I saw the internals of VF and I can tell you,it doesn't go beyond simple DIY-project(for that price it should work.It's not rocket science)

    There were planes to upgrade VF and adress this issues,but they droped the project.However,I heard(rumors) that the new VF may be aveilable in 2ndQ of 2008.

    This is where I kindly disagree.

    The problem here is one of "false protection" - certainly, saving you "some of the time" is definitely better than "none of the time," but I think it's also important to think about how angry we'd be if, for a truly legitimate reason, we're running that red light (i.e. an out-of-control 18-wheeler behind you: and trust me, I've had this happen to me, personally, more than once, and I've only been driving for 17 or so years!), and a ticket appears in the mail.

    This kind of false/unreliable protection, in my view, cannot be viewed as anything less than totally unacceptable.

    The biggest problem is against Redflex cameras. they also do about a 10 second video clip, so the "flash blocking" is useless. not even a superprotector works against the redflex cams.

    Default Just an idea...

    Then someone needs to create somthing that is manually activated on multiple timed strobe light.

    For instance you have a frame embedded with multiple strobe lights that are manually activated located opposite of each other on the frame. The strobe lights flash in repeating sequences so that no matter how many times the camera flashes or videos all it see's it blinding light. It cant get even one second with out light blinding it.

    It seems like a very simple concept. Nothing a little design work and meduim size pockets could not produce. A aaa battery on a camera can produce a flash so it seems to reason that your car battery would not have a problem.

    The only problem is if the cop sees you using it during the deed. I think he would cite you for some kind of equipment voilation such as using an illegal strobe light or somthing. But other than that he cannot pull you over like with the license plate covers.

    Seems like a dream at the toll booths. I would make the product myself if I had the time. I would use a motto like "save your cash in a flash" or somthing like that.
