[W126 Coupe] Photo Blocker

[Eddie]

A lot of the cameras no longer use a flash, and use digital controls to
level the light.  Some cams (particularly red light cameras) have multiple
cameras in different locations.

When they brought in, temporarily, photo radar in Ontario, I designed a
system that beats it 100%.

I installed 3 small Zenon flash strobes where the licence plate screws go,
and a slave to fire them in the fourth spot. When the flash from the camera
fired, it hit the slave and fired my 3 strobes back into the camera. It
burns the picture out completely as it highly over exposes the film.  I used
high speed capacitors so recovery was in a millisecond, as the photo radar
usually takes 2 pictures. I got some photos from people who had been nailed
and worked out the correct angle to mount the strobes. To test, take your
camera and take a flash picture into a mirror.

                                                                    Have
fun,

 
Iain

Photoblocker doesn't really work.sometimes. Yes it does successfully
white-out the photo, but there are ways to bring back the information, so
they might still get you. The plate covers are more reliable but then again
they are illegal in many states. A good place to buy this sort of stuff at
is www.radarbusters.com and a good place to discuss the products with some
people who know is http://www.radardetector.net/ though it doesn't seem to
be working right now.

Hi Ronny,

I've not had experience with these products either, though the website has a
lot of info., testimonials, etc.

Here is the site http://www.phantomplate.com/photoblocker.html for more
info. 

Hope that helps.

Cheers,   Malcolm Lee
