ALP: Test to Reduce VPR Punchthroughs
You should give Alex Roy a call 😉
why stinger? i thought ALP was the gold standard especially for dragon eye?
I want a vortex plate
haha here’s where I had it made: amzn.to/3VOGx7t They do custom plates on a variety of state plates
So much false advertising when they say 4k on all of them
Not in the ones recommended in this video, but in general, absolutely
Really wish they'd switch power to usb c. The telephone plug is so outdated.
Two detectors already have, though while it may be technically newer, I’m not convinced it’s inherently better.
So your dashcam trick is ....to memorise the plate number 😅 You couldn't make this up 😅
lol, memorize? Perhaps the video was unclear? You say it out loud so it is also captured in the dashcam’s audio as a backup.
Thats absolutely false; most manufacturers use the same short-wave blind spot monitoring frequencies; it just so happens some have a “long throw” opposed to a “short”but the govt has limited this in newer vehicles due to inference with police radars; not necessarily the type of vehicle, but the year, and the “on detection pop “ radar detectors are a lot more effective and is what you’re looking for. Remember you get what you pay far😉
I was told that I would need to disconnect from car play to have the camera work. Can you verify that?
Which camera? Some wireless CarPlay’s can take over your phone’s WiFi and prevent you from using other WiFi networks like connecting to a dashcam. It’s more of a CarPlay thing than a dashcam thing.
I've been a follower for a few yrs I'm curious do you actually speed where you can use the ALP daily? Thanks in advance
So radar I see multiple times a day while out here I’m lucky to get hit with laser once or twice a year. Very different experiences lol, but of course YMMV.
No one is going to state that they speed regardless especially on a public forum
@@glennbaz2 tu mamma
@@oui.monsieur🤡
How much is all this work costing you god damn
Yeah… ouch, lol
well if you have the money that's great!
How is the new label of the new sensitive ALP heads;
Great question. I’m not exactly sure how to tell the difference between different head versions. Something to ask BRD.
And it's a honda
In 10 years when the security light locks me out of my GM because of your product, will you fix it?
What kind of system/setup would you suggest for someone living in California? Are there certain restrictions that you know of?
2:54
imagine spending 100s of dollars on equipment that may or may not work when you can just not drive like an idiot for free instead.
Imagine commenting on something without having a clue how it works
wish there were outside mount cameras so that you can capture more that you cant typically capture though the windows. Kinda like teslas dashcameras are all mounted on the outside and allow for great viewing angles.
You mean like the Thinkware multiplexers I talked about in this video?
Yeah...so...let the man do his thing! He's out here putting in the time so we can drive protected. 👍
Got a question, new to this, and recently bought a cheap 30$ 3ch setup. Yeah I know, but I don't have a lot of extra cash so el cheapo we go. My question is: Why has no one made a dash cam with Starvis 2 for the front, Starvis 1 (or similar but cheaper) with a super wide or 360 for internal (similar build like the N4's) with options for a similar second module for the rear? 3 to 4 cameras, in two simple modules, less cables, less mess, and surprisingly decent coverage. If a third module with a 360 lens, that could be mounted in the middle of ceiling for those extra tricky angles. With some clever software it could have buffering and segment video into 2 or 3 decent combined footage clips. one for each of the front and rear and a clever way to combine the front and rear internal to the 360 center (or not if it's not there.)I trying to think what would take the least amount of processing power, several videos or one big 4K or 8K clip baking all the cameras in. Either way, any solutions like that? Or coming?
Sorry, I read your question multiple times and still don’t understand.
@@VortexRadar Yeah... I haven't slept... Sorry. Anyone that makes/or are planning to make a cheaper dashcam, that uses starvis 2 for its from and rear cameras, while using fisheye or 360 lenses on the interior lens? Q2: With some simple programming there should be an easy way to record all cameras to a single 4K or 8K file, but I dot know which one would be less taxing on the system, spilt video files for each camera, or one single file (4K or 8K) with all the videos baked into one file. What is your take on this as well? Q3: Watching you recaps of dashcams for 2024, what would you say/want in a ultimate dashcam? I postulated a 3 or 4 camera setup with a front and rear starvis sensors( normal lenses), one fisheye or 360 lens for the interior and maybe a fisheye in the ceiling placed in the middle of the car (or over the passenger seats) to help with viewing angles out on the sides. Your takes on this to mitigate cable spaghetti and not warrant a huge premium on device CPU cost? Hope this clears things up.
5:28 those “weird lines” are either the defroster or an antenna on the back glass. You can tell the lines curve with the rear glass which makes it very improbable that it would be a hardware/software issue. In the next shot, when you compare it to the Viofo, you can still see those lines (proving it’s not the fake 8k dashcam), but they are blurry; this is because the Viofo is an actual good dashcam that doesn’t focus on foreground elements.
Sigh. I didn’t do a good job of pointing them out. I am NOT talking about the defroster lines. I noticed they’re less obvious, and if you’re watching on a phone, it can be harder to see them come and go real quick and all you’ll notice are the defroster lines. Next time I’ll do a better job of pointing them out because you’re not the first person to misunderstand what I was referring to.
@@VortexRadar ohhhhh my bad I see it now. Sorry for misunderstanding, and thanks for pointing it out to me. I was watching on my phone haha. Love your content by the way
Annnd thank you for the attention to detail !
I thought this was obvious! It'd be like asking Torque Test Channel or Project Farm "why do you have so many tools, are you going to start a construction company?" No, it's for all the testing you see in every video...
That’s a good analogy, lol. It comes up surprisingly often. I think usually when people are newer to my channel?
That last video was the 1st video I've seen from this channel, I've seen other people running backup upon backup when prepping for or participating in the Cannonbal Run or similar. I was just scrolling through YT Short Reels and that video popped up...my bad for NOT picking up on the "obvious"!!
Am looking for a dash cam that has front and back only, I don’t want the interior camera
That's a lot of money to camp in the left lane 5 under
Something to consider when using a drive camera that uploads over the Internet is that these companies will usually sell your data to the insurance companies so they can raise your rates for any reasons they find.
You talk too much and I didn’t understand what you talking about! Can you just what to buy and not buy ? 😂😂😂
This is a video about testing, not about product recommendations. I plan on doing a video about that after we get more test data in. This is the stuff that determines recommendations.
Is there any dash cam that the rear one has wifi?
What for? To avoid running the wire? It will still need a power wire since running off an internal battery isn't really feasible long term, so you're gonna need a cable one way or another.
@@VortexRadar Thanks a lot.
are you going on a cannon ball run ? When do you have time to drive fast when you are always making these great videos?
lol, it’s a comparison test vehicle, not a cannonball car. :)
What setting would I have to change because once I get a ka signal the first 2 beeps are super loud and then it goes quiet can I change that or is that just how the radar is?
That’s the auto mute. You can adjust the main volume for the initial beeps then the auto mute vol for how quiet it is when it drops the volume.
Hey vortex, you have any idea what is up with Tom at ALP? Been trying to call for a few days and says they are closed.
No idea. I usually just message him on RDF.
Thanks
All look like PS2 mouse/keyboard connectors.
lol yeah
Please can you confirm if the Max 4 can detect the TPCam H20 laser unit
I'm going to start watching what the frequency is. I can see where it would be helpful to know what department is using a certain frequency.
Making a Cannonball Run vehicle??
For comparison testing. It’s mostly just new versions of the gear that’s already installed in the car.
Do I need the alp for thjs
How does the nexar beam 2 compare?
Low end specs and its cloud implementation isn’t very impressive
Gosh really is the star trek.
Christ almighty how many radar detectors and laser jammers can you fit on one car
Only one way to find out!
When is the last time you got a speeding ticket?
That. Is a bunch of stuff to install.
Tell me about it, lol
Lamborghini
Uniden r9
I don't even know what some of that crap is. 😂
lol
Please educate me on why you need this much gear because I want to kit my car with these in the future as well
You don’t, lol. It’s for comparison testing and reviews. Just one system is enough for most people. :)
@@VortexRadar oooh okay you got me very confused there ahahah. Thanks for the informative videos,I got into alp and radar detectors pretty quick with your content. Cheers mate!
These use XLR connectors??!
XLR's are much bigger than these. Smaller connectors are preferred to better squeeze through tight areas.
@@VortexRadar Ah I see, makes perfect sense. The similarity in appearance jumped out at me.
Uniden R9 comparison video confirmed!!
lol yeah I've been waiting for this install to really get to the comparisons of custom installed equipment
@@VortexRadar Awesome! Looking forward to all the videos to come from this.
Nice I love all your videos 😊
Wow. 👍🇨🇦
Can’t wait to see this. Thinking of ditching Escort and going with Uniden. Really unhappy with my Redline 360c. Just got the dreaded “Check FR” message and have to send it back to Escort. They just had the detector in January for a premium service after it died the first time.
Yeah It’s pretty disappointing…also The Redline 360c international has had some Firmware issues for well over a year..people are saying that they probably just gave up on the whole International Market and might not even decide to upgrade the firmware anymore..?? I hope that for their sake they do something about it because news spreads fast,they just might be digging their own grave and pushing customers away from all corners of the world with their careless actions…
