The new Stinger contains components that up till now have been utilised exclusively in military defense electronics. Now, for the first time, you can benefit from these advanced electronics in a consumer product. To make this possible, the Stinger engineers have developed revolutionary technologies. Moreover, they have succeeded in making the DSI Computer incredibly user friendly. The easy to command display unit gives you full control over DSI’s power. As a result, this Stinger’s practical value is bigger than ever.

A real life example...

On many roads in Europe (UK, Germany, Spain, The Netherlands, France, Italy, etc) the police measure your average speed over a fixed distance: generally referred to as ‘SPECS’. During SPECS, many drivers continuously keep looking at their speedometer, or drive dangerously slow out of fear of getting a speeding ticket. That is why Stinger has developed ‘SPECS Alerting’: you will be alerted when you are approaching SPECS, and during the SPECS your Stinger DSI will calculate and display your average ‘SPECS speed’. If at any time your average lies above the set speed limit, your DSI will alert you with an audio signal as well as a display depiction of a ‘sad face’. Additionally, ‘SPECS Alerting’ shows where you are in the SPECS trajectory and what the remaining distance is until you reach the end of the SPECS. Really, all you have to do is watch the road.

Laser Safety Signals can also transmit 'car-to-car' alerts. This enables a Stinger-DSI user who employs Stinger Laser, to alert other Stinger users by initiating or relaying Safety Signals. For instance, a Stinger user who hits the breaks, generates a 'Heavy braking' signal on the Memory Display of Stinger users in his vicinity. Safe driving is a part of comfortable driving.

Stinger DSI's Laser Alerting is extraordinarily sensitive. So much so, that your Stinger can pick up laser that was 'fired' at a car in front of you. In addition, Stinger Laser encompasses a breakthrough novelty - it is able to recognise and indicate the type of police laser gun: Is it a Laser Patrol or an Ultralyte? 'Gun recognition' is not just a nice gimmick. It is evidence of Stinger's Laser Alerting's accuracy and professionalism.

With the help of its sensitive laser detection, Stinger Laser swiftly sniffs out a 'police gun' and raises - if so desired by you and where allowed - a Shield as protection against laser rays. After some seconds (the number is to be set by you) this protection automatically ceases with the running out of the 'Shield-up' time. During stand still and low speed, the LaserShield cannot be engaged.

Wherever Radar Alerting is allowed, the DSI can locate police radars. Because of its hyper-intelligent and advanced military technologies, the Stinger DSI can catch radar at more than double the distance radar detectors can. The Stinger DSI is the best alerter for speed traps in the world.

Equipping DSI with Radar Alerting

In countries where Radar Alerting is not, or may not be, allowed, Stinger offers a version of the DSI that is incapable of alerting for radar. Should the legal situation change, or one would like to use DSI in a country where radar detection is allowed, then simply by downloading alternate software the user is able to make DSI capable of Radar Alerting.

Usage of the Radar Alerting software is meant for countries where radar detection is allowed. Stinger recommends not to use Radar Alerting in countries where the use of radar detection has been banned. Specifically for those drivers who use the Stinger DSI Computer in countries where employing Radar Alerting is allowed, the DSI has been equipped with a function to delete the Radar Alerting software with one push of a button. Consequently, this allows users to abide by, seemingly conflicting, regional rules and regulations.

DSI undetectable for “Radar Detector Detector”

Since the DSI Computer is not a Radar Detector, you will probably not be suprised that even the newest “Radar Detector Detectors” are not capable of detecting it. From a legal point of view it might be irrelevant that the DSI cannot be detected. The Stinger’s stealth characteristics are, however, an important convenience for the Stinger user: he will not be unnecessarily bothered by the police, asking him whether he is using a radar detector.

Not all speed checks get executed correctly. Sometimes police radars operate outside the legal radar frequency band widths, or have been set up at a wrong angle vis-à-vis the road. Further, it happens that unclear photographs and/or inaccurate police work result in license plates being read incorrectly. So what if you get a speeding ticket? Generally, the license plate holder will be deemed guilty, unless he can prove not to have been responsible for the alleged speeding. PoliceCheck helps you to lift this burden of evidence. DSI records where you have driven, if you have encountered active speed traps, and what your speed has been. On top of that, the Stinger DSI measures and records the exact radar frequency of every active radar speeds trap you have passed. This way the DSI Computer assists you to appeal against speeding tickets that are incorrect.

The Stinger DSI is as accurate as it is quiet.

As previously mentioned, the new Stinger is not a radar detector. Thanks in part to the Spectrum Analyzer and 'patch antenna' technology, the system is able to spot police radars with scientific accuracy at distances previously thought impossible. The DSI Computer can issue a warning at over twice the distance of radar detectors such as the legendary Stinger Ventura.

Our GPS Detection technology supports the radar alert function and enables advanced technology, such as:

FalseListing™

Imagine this: You drive past the same petrol station every day. The automatic doors of that petrol station cause the radar detector to produce a false alarm. Every morning. Is that radar detector slow witted? Yes. The Stinger DSI is far more intelligent. All the DSI motorist needs to do is press the 'FalseList' button when passing the petrol station. From then on, you will no longer be bothered by false alarms when driving past that location.

SpeedSense™

Do you often hear radar alerts even though you aren't speeding? The Stinger DSI allows you to enter two speed values below which no alarm will sound, one for motorways and one for non-motorway driving. The DSI GPS module determines which of the two values to apply. The luxury of relaxed driving.

F-16 technology in your car’s cockpit

The Spectrum Analyzer is quite possibly DSI’s most spectacular component. It’s the kind of state of the art measuring equipment one would only expect to encounter in scientific research centers or the R&D department of huge corporations. Price: euro 50,000. Stinger has developed a more affordable miniature version. This enables DSI to dissect a microwave radar signal into patterns, frequencies, and amplitudes.

Stinger has coupled the Spectrum Analyzer with an integrated ‘Phased Array Radar’, or patch, antenna to serve as the receptor. Until recently, one could only find these credit card thin patch antennas on the nose of military jets like the F-16 and in anti-rocket defence systems.

Stinger’s engineers enable you to benefit from these advanced technologies on the road, supplying you with vital information.
