Best for Mobile Traps
The most important thing to realise about mobile speed traps is that you need to ignore the marketing claims of any one single product that says it warns of all cameras. That is just not true. Mobile traps present a different set of challenges and many products on the market just are not adequate to give you any help, despite what the manufacturers may claim.

Mobile speed traps in the UK and Ireland can use either radar or laser to measure your car's speed. Radar traps can only be detected by radar detectors. Forget GPS for this and remember that there is huge difference in the performance abilities of radar detectors. Laser traps can either be detected by laser detectors or you can add an extra level of protection with a laser diffuser. Don't bother with Radar jammers - there's a reason we don't sell them so don't be taken in by unscrupulous marketing claims, you'll just be wasting your money and will come back for a good detector.

The starting point when deciding what product to buy for mobile trap warnings is always to look at the equipment being used by the police in your area. You then pick the product based on it's ability to help against that type of equipment (it's not rocket science, is it?) In most of England and Wales (particularly North Wales), it's laser so your best bet is a jammer. Parts of England and Wales also use radar traps so call us for details if you are unsure. In Scotland and Ireland mobile radar traps are much more common so you're better off with a radar detector and can add a jammer later for a complete system.

By far the best radar detector now on the market for UK and Irish Cameras is the new Cheetah Sentinel. The best laser jammer in the world at present is the Lidatek LE30. If you are going to rely on a GPS Alert System to try to warn of mobile traps then, in our opinion, based on years of experience and testing every product on the market, the GPS Alert System with by far the best database of mobile locations has to be the TR range from TDS.

The only genuine way to be fully protected against every trap across the UK is to have a TR30, LE30 and Cheetah Sentinel fitted to your car. The good news is that they all work nicely together and we can give you a great package price on combination deals.

For details on what combination is needed and what traps are actually being used in your area or if you have any further questions, it's best to call us on the number below.
