installation of both a DSI Stinger Computer and a GF100
police laser gun jammer, for the very best complete
STEALTH protection against both radar and laser. The DSI
Stinger is the only 100% passive equipment based on
Military Phased Array Rader and not an active Superheterodyne
receiver as found in ALL other radar detectors including
Beltronics STI and Escort 9500ci.
DSI Computer is the only product with NO LOCAL
OSCILLATOR so there are no emissions for any police
scanner to detect.
The DSI Computer is the
only product on the market capable of not only detecting
but analysing all frequencies concurrently. There
is no scanning sweep, or delay, as found in ALL other
superheterodyne based radar detectors.
Now
with updated GPS module for faster logging and 10x the
memory!
The standard DSI Computer
is 100% legal everywhere. Stinger DSI Computer +
Radar Detector should only be used where radar detectors
are legal. Stinger DSI Computer + Radar Detector is the
ONLY 100% PASSIVE, stealth radar detector, all other
"stealth" designs still use an active superheterodyne
antenna including the Beltronics STI Driver and
Beltronics STI-R. Using a 100% passive spectrum analyser
antenna results in true 100% passive stealth without any
reduction in sensitivity. In fact, the Stringer
DSI Computer design is based on military spectrum
analysing technology that is capable of scanning all
band concurrently and is many times more sensitive than
any superheterodyne based technology.
Stinger DSI Computer -
The standard Stinger DSI
Computer system incorporates GPS black spot location
alerts and provides the ultimate trip logging
facilities. An ideal tool of the trade for self employed
or executives with fleet vehicles. Simply and easily log
kilometres travelled as either "personal travel" or
"business related travel" greatly simplifies tax and
expenses for work related travel. The standard Stinger
DSI Computer can be upgraded with (and downgraded from)
Radar Detection capabilities at no extra cost.
Stinger DSI Computer + Radar Detection -
Stinger DSI Computer + Radar Detection
offers unparalleled protection from police
laser. The first and only 100% stealth and
100% passive radar detection device. This
system is based on a powerful military
technology spectrum analyser antenna.
The Stinger DSI Computer + Radar Detection
scans all band concurrently and is not based
on an active superheterodyne receiver like
all other radar detectors. DSI Computer +
Radar Detection owners demand the very best
performance possible. A unique and
innovative feature is that the Radar
Detection feature can be easily and
immediately removed from the DSI Computer in
case the driver travels to a jurisdiction
where Radar Detection is illegal. Then when
the driver returns to home or the office,
the Radar Detection feature can be
reinstalled via a free PC connection and
Stinger DSI PC software. Radar Detection
capabilities can be installed and removed
when required.

detection available. Below are 3 videos, the
detection range was limited only by the
available length of road and terrain. Hutton
Street pictured below has a hill at each end
and a low point in the middle. If the
road was longer and not so hilly, the
detection range would likely have been
longer still. Video #3 was actually taken
first and determined to be below the maximum
detection range. Video 1 and 2 were
taken at the furthest reasonable point, past
this point was on the decline of a second
hill and a detection over 2 hills at over
1km would not be reasonably expected.
Stinger DSI Computer
 With
our pioneering background as a European market
leader and innovator in the field of high-end radar
detectors, we have spent more than 12 years
gathering customer input. After marrying up these
customer ideas with our own wish list, we set to
work on developing the new Stinger three years ago.
The initial R&D phase revealed that we could produce
something much more beautiful and unique than we
initially had in mind. And if it can be done bigger
and better, we won't hesitate to make it bigger and
better. The downside of Stinger's endless
perfectionism is that development was significantly
delayed. On the upside, we have produced a dream
product. No other consumer product can match its
brilliance.
DSI
Computer
The 'DSI Computer' is a modular computer system for
motorists, consisting of a Computer Center and
multiple connecting modules. The entire machine is
operated via the 'Memory Display' module, a 'Graphic
User Interface'.
The DSI is highly future proof, not least because of
its modular design: to activate a new development,
all the user needs to do is to click on a new module
in the Computer Center. Furthermore, the PC
Interface software can be used to download updates
from this website. All these features combined means
the DSI is a valuable investment for years to come.
World
exclusive: Military precision in your car
The
Spectrum Analyzer is by far the most eye-catching
module. This unique Stinger invention is based on
the 'laboratory spectrum analyzer', a relatively
large and expensive device used by institutes that
deal with professional and applied scientific
research for precision measurements and analyses in
the field of microwave signals. Due to its compact
size, the Stinger Spectrum Analyzer can be quickly
and easily built into your car, and is reasonably
inexpensive. But that's not all. Our engineers have
been able to combine this Spectrum Analyzer with a
'patch antenna', based on military technology,
applied in F-16 fighter jets and intelligent Rocket
Launcher Systems. The 'patch antennaÍ guarantees not
only razor-sharp precision but is also an essential
aid for the extreme sensitivity of the DSI.
DSI
Computer applications
Backed
up by cutting-edge technology and an intelligent
computer, the DSI Computer can be deployed for a
multitude of hyper intelligent applications, such
as:
Safety Signals - "Warning! Roadwork."
-
Police Check - The roles reversed
-
Military Detection - Military measurement
technology, double the distance
Route Logging - Automatic mileage reporting
-
The 'Safety Signals' function can be used to
warn motorists of e.g. roadworks, crossings used
by children going to or coming from school, and
police and ambulance services.
-
Reverse the roles for a change: DSI's 'Police
Check' enables motorists to check police
accuracy and the legality of speed controls.
-
'Military Detection' combines the 'Radar Alert'
and 'GPS Detection' functions. Using military
measurement techniques - the new Stinger is not
a radar detector - the DSI can issue a warning
at twice the distance of radar detectors such as
the legendary Stinger Ventura.
-
'Route Logging' is a GPS-driven automatic
mileage reporting system for the tax man and/or
fleet management.
Overview of Stinger DSI Computer
The
Stinger 'Driver Safety & Information Computer'
consists of a 'Computer Center' and various modules
- such as e.g. the GPS antenna, Memory Display and
Spectrum Analyzer - which can be operated by
clicking on the Computer Center screen.
Stinger DSI Computer Applications
 1.
Safety Signals: "Warning! Roadworks."
The Spectrum Analyzer
enables real-time, remote reception and decoding of
so-called Safety Signals. The 'Safety Signals' function
warns the driver of potentially dangerous traffic
situations. Road workers, schools, police and ambulance
services emit Safety Signals, which are immediately
transferred into a warning signal for cars equipped with
DSI.
2. Police Check: The
roles reversed.
There has been a recent
upsurge in news items reporting on the inaccuracy of
police speed checks. Police radars often fail to operate
within the statutory frequency bands or are set at an
incorrect angle. In addition, car registration plates
are not always read properly due to illegibility or
sloppy note-taking. Stinger took up this challenge years
ago and can finally offer European motorists the ideal
tool to defend themselves against unjust fines. DSI's
Police Check enables the motorist to check the validity
and accuracy of police speed checks, arming the user
with sufficient proof to avoid being fined. The Police
Check function is available in the most extensive DSI
version, the 'Elite Edition'.
The Police Check
function uses e.g. GPS and the Spectrum Analyzer to keep
an exact track of your route, all radar control points
passed and, in the case of radar, the exact measurement
frequency and speed.
Under the famous Mulder
Act, the burden of proof in the event of a traffic fine
is shifted to the car owner. Under this Act, the onus is
on the owner to prove that he has not committed a
traffic violation. The Police Check function can help
you with this burden of proof.
3. Military
Detection: Military technology, double the distance.
'Military Detection'
comprises of the 'Radar Alert' and GPS Detection
functions. 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:
SpotListing,
activating alarms in fixed places
Simply press the 'SpotList'
button to mark all locations where you would like to be
warned, such as new radar poles and dangerous crossings.
Simple and highly effective. The SpotListing function
provides motorists with a warning signal for non-radar
and laser speed traps (poles with induction loops, route
controls), i.e. speed traps that cannot be identified by
the Spectrum Analyzer. SpotListing is additionally
available to customers purchasing DSI without the Radar
Alert function. It approximates Radar Alert on the basis
of a national database (available in the U.K. this
year). SpotListing is a free application, saving DSI
users from taking out expensive and complicated
subscriptions.
FalseListing,
making nuisance alarms a thing of the past
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: No
alarms below a certain speed
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.
CurrentSpeed: GPS
speed at alarm.
Available by popular
demand. Many motorists automatically look at their
display when a warning is sound. During each warning,
the CurrentSpeed function displays the real-time speed
on your DSI. The latest GPS technology ensures this
value is even more accurate than the value indicated by
your car.
4. Route Logging:
Automatic mileage administration.
The 'Elite Edition' of
the DSI will also boast the 'Route Logging' function, a
GPS-driven automatic mileage reporting system for the
tax man and/or fleet management.
5. Spectrum
Analysis: Accurate on-site measurements
The DSI enables
professional users such as microwave engineers and/or
mechanics to work with a spectrum analyser at any
location. The DSI Spectrum Analyzer is many times
cheaper than the 50,000 Euro that a classic laboratory
spectrum analyzer will set you back. In addition, thanks
to its highly compact size, the DSI Spectrum Analyzer
can be used anywhere: At measurement locations all over
the country, as well as in your own laboratory.

Spectrum
Analyzer (SA-01)
 Stinger's biggest
achievement so far is undoubtedly the invention of the
Spectrum Analyzer.
Surpassing our
customers wildest dreams, our engineers have spent
years closely examining the operation of professional
laboratory analyzers. Further inspiration was sought
from the defense industry. The highly advanced Active
Phased Array Radar (APAR) is used for critical radar
applications.
The two biggest
problems facing our engineers were miniaturising the
system and making desired technologies affordable.
Although Stinger prioritises quality and performance
over cost price, a price tag of hundreds of thousands of
Euros would have caused a minor rebellion.
The end result cost a
lot of blood, sweat and tears. It is a unique system in
every sense.
- Able to analyse a
whole spectrum at once.
- Able to track
multiple sources simultaneously.
- Fully
computer-driven.

GPS
Module (including GPS antenna) (GM-01)
 The American government
has filled the skies with satellites. The so-called
Global Positioning System (GPS) enables us to measure
our location anywhere on earth up to tens of meters
accuracy. We have embraced this technology to give added
functionality to the DSI Computer, including: Journey
Registration, FalseListing and SpotListing. To use these
functions, all you need to do is plug in the DSI GPS
module.
Display
Holder (DH-01)
 Although your Memory
Display can be connected directly to the Computer Center,
it is often easier to use the Display Holder. This is
particularly useful if you wish to remove the display
from view, for example to deter thieves.
Simply attach the plug
of the connecting cable in the Display Holder instead of
in the display. From now on, all you need to do is press
the display against the holder. Thanks to the clever
'One-Click' magnet construction, it is secured
immediately, and also establishes the feed and data
connection. Removing the display is equally
straightforward: simply remove it from the holder...

Stinger DSI Computer in the press
Phenomenal New
Stinger
"At last!", we
exclaimed in 2002, when Stinger finally
invited us to view its latest product: the
DSI. Prior to that, we had already been
waiting two years to meet the successor to
the unsurpassed Ventura. Another two years
down the road, and Stinger has finally
completed its 'Driver Safety & Information'
computer. Significant delays had been caused
by supplier problems, development setbacks
and start-up difficulties. We have finally
been allowed to test the DSI - as the device
is officially known - once and for all
dispelling the rumours among Autovisie
readers that the device was but a figment of
our imagination.
As reported
back in 2002 (in AV7, for all you AV
anoraks) DSI's detection technology goes by
the name of Spectrum Analysis and is based
on the latest defence technology. This
reportedly enables DSI to detect radar
earlier and, above all, more accurately.
Following our test drive in Germany, we
wholeheartedly support this claim: it is a
phenomenal piece of equipment. It sounds a
warning at twice the distance of the old
Ventura, and many times faster than the
average dash detector. This was the case on
both the K (Gatso) and Ka bands.
What's more,
the DSI Spectrum Analyser produces far fewer
false alarms than radar detectors.
Furthermore, the more expensive versions of
the DSI are equipped with a GPS module,
enabling speed-dependent warnings, as well
as the systematic suppressing of false
alarms at, for instance, the petrol stations
you pass daily. Both options are obviously
extremely useful.
There is
however a big but. The Netherlands
introduced a ban on radar detectors on 1
January 2004. Although Stinger is adamant
that the DSI is not a radar detector, the
company fears the police may think
otherwise. As a result, the Dutch market
will be graced with the non-radar-detection
version, leaving Dutch motorists with
functions such as Route Logging, Laser
Detection, GPS, Safety Signals and Police
Check. More about this later.
As radar
detectors are not banned in their respective
countries, German, British and Spanish
customers are free to buy the full DSI
version, i.e. including the radar detection
option. Frequent travellers to these
countries can upload the detection software
via the Internet, using a PC connection and
a DSI docking station. This method also
allows them to download GPS locations of
radar poles, as well as the latest software
updates. All free of charge.
Back in the
Netherlands, the detection function can be
deleted with one touch of the button. Users
will then have to upload the detection
software again to activate the radar
detector function.
Is it worth
purchasing the DSI without the detection
module? Hardly. No matter how useful the
other functions may be. Take for instance
Police Check. It operates like an airplane's
Black Box, registering every single
speed check alert. If you are fined, you can
check the data of your black box to
determine whether the reading was carried
out in accordance with the letter of the
law. If not, you can appeal with your hard
evidence.
The Route
Logging function is another handy accessory,
in particular for users needing to convince
the tax authorities that they are not using
the company car for their own private
enjoyment. And in six months' time, Dutch
motorists will be warned of roadworks using
radar beacons transmitted to the DSI Safety
Signals.
Nevertheless,
all the above are side issues, if you are prepared to run the risk of
getting a hefty fine and having your
expensive though highly useful DSI
confiscated, you can always travel to Emmerich, Germany, to purchase the
all-inclusive version, or upgrade your Dutch
version via the Internet. In its complete
version, the DSI is definitely worth the
money. A useful addition is that the DSI
detector also operates without a display,
and emits sound signals. The Stinger DSI
will be on sale from June. There is already
a long list of advance subscribers, so
expect delays in delivery.

New weapon against speed traps!
by Charles
Sanders
AMSTERDAM -
Boasting technology from F-16 fighter jets
and Patriot missiles, a Dutch company is
conquering the English, German, South Korean
and US markets with speed check warning
systems.
In partnership
with the British motorway police, we were
able to test this Driver Safety and
Information (DSI) computer on the roads in
southern England and at a former RAF base.
Tests revealed the system managed to
accurately detect speed radar systems up to
a distance of 1,200 metres. Using a
so-called Spectrum Analyzer, the system
receives and analyses radio and radar
signals. The 'patch antennas', part of the
DSI computer, can also be found on the nose
of fighter jets and the interior of
surface-to-air missiles. Taking only a
fraction of a second, they calculate the
frequency and angle of radio signals 'fired'
at the motorist. Even laser beams are
detected in plenty of time and, where
permitted, neutralised.
Commodore
pilot Steve Netto, an R.A.F. F16 veteran,
had the following to say: "This is the first
time this high-tech invention has been used
on the open roads. I am convinced that the
computer will also promote road safety in
countries where the use of radar detection
systems is currently banned.
This is the
sting in the Dutch tail. As a result of the
anti-radar detector stance of the national
traffic officer, Koos Spee, DSI will only be
available in its amputated form in the
Netherlands. The computer, on sale from next
week, is delivered without the warning
function for flash boxes and mobile radar.
Nevertheless, managing director T. de Wilde
of Stinger believes enough of the product
has remained intact to make it a success in
our country: "DSI enables Route Logging and
warns drivers of potentially dangerous
traffic situations. A network is currently
being established in The Netherlands,
allowing schools and road workers to
transmit signals to motorists at vital
times. DSI additionally verifies police
speed checks, something very much in the
news in view of the many test cases
currently underway. Motorists are often
unfairly fined as a result of incorrectly
positioned systems or radars searching at
incorrect frequencies. Our highly accurate
patch antennas record actual speed."
Home market
This does not
alter the fact that Stinger hopes to sell
the full DSI product on the home market. We
have used the upgrade in England, and found
the system ideal for radar alerts. As soon
as all the legal obstacles have been lifted,
the extra software will be delivered free of
charge in the Netherlands.
Professor
meester Geert-Jan Knoops, StingerÍs in-house
lawyer, believes the legal battle is far
from over: "The current detector ban is out
of step with EU legislation, such as the
right to free movement of communication and
information, enshrined in numerous
conventions. It will be up to the European
Court of Justice to give judgment."
