8 REASONS WHY BELTRONICS IS BEST
Anti-falsing Technology/Digital Signal Processing
The most common complaint about radar detectors is their tendency to alert the driver to non-police radar signals which saturate the airwaves. Garage door openers, alarm systems and other devices can be annoying, particularly in urban areas.
• The ability to reject these spurious signals, commonly
called selectivity, is crucial for a detector. It’s largely accomplished
by programming the detector’s software to recognise the difference between
false alarms and a real radar threat. The City/Highway switch found on most detectors
limits urban falses by merely reducing sensitivity.
• But simply lowering sensitivity isn’t the optimal solution. Instead,
BEL helps accomplish this difficult talk with yet another innovation called
AutoScan™-
a sophisticated software using Digital Signal Processing (DSP). AutoScan™ analyses
each signal, then automatically discounts it as a
false alarm or accepts it as a legitimate signal, and sounds an alert.
For this reason, AutoScan™ makes
BEL detectors virtually resistant to false
alarms with no appreciablereduction in detection range.
Ease of Use/Programmable Features
One way to enhance a detector’s usefulness is to make it easy to use,
and for the advanced user, include driver selectable features. This allows operation
to be tailored to the driver’s preference. Depending upon the model, these
features may include selectable band defeat, auto mute, Safety Warning System™,
digital voice and a host of other functions.
Upgradeable Software
The technology employed by radar detectors and speed enforcement
equipment is constantly changing. BEL has addressed this
issue by becoming the first manufacturer to offer software
upgrade technology for many of its models. This technology
provides you with the greatest possible capability to have
your detector reprogrammed to meet new types of traffic radar
monitoring as they emerge.
Manufacturer’s Reputation
Any purchasing decision should be made with the reputation
of the manufacturer in mind. BELTRONICS has achieved worldwide
acceptance as the industry leader in design innovation since
the introduction of their first radar detector in 1977.
Industry First. Hailed as an “engineering powerhouse”
BELTRONICS has the history of “firsts” unequaled in the industry,
including the use of military technology in a consumer radar detector, first
Ka band detector, first Super Wideband Ka detector, first cordless radar detector,
first detector undetectable to the Interceptor VG-2, and first concealed, remote
installation detector.
Industry Patents
In electronics, another way to separate “me-too” manufacturers from true industry innovators is through the patents they hold. Here again, BELTRONICS controls more than 80% of the radar detectors industry’s meaningful patents.
Sensitivity
Without a doubt, the major consideration in choosing a radar
detector is overall sensitivity. After all, the ability to
detect traffic radar before it detects you is what it’s all about. And BEL is the proven leader in long-range detection.
Performance Guarantee.
BELTRONICS is so confident in their proven, superior sensitivity
that every BEL detector includes a Performance Guarantee
citing BEST-IN-CLASS X, K and Super Wideband Ka sensitivity.
BEL’s Performance Guarantee assures you that you can’t buy a more sensitive radar detector with a similar selling price, from any major competitor.
