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 Stingers 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 antennaÕ 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: 1. Safety Signals - "Warning! Roadwork." 2. Police Check - The roles reversed 3. Military Detection - Military measurement technology, double the distance 4. 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. For a detailed description of the DSI functions Overview 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. DSI 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: I. 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. II. 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. III. 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. IV. 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 customersÕ wildest dreams, our engineers have spent years closely examining the operation of professional laboratory analyzers. Further inspiration was sought from the defence 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. 100% accuracy, even in extreme temperature variations. Spectrum measurement capability, both indoors and outdoors* High-frequency shield (Ultra Shielding) No signal leakages (Real Stealth) S.P.A.R.: Stinger's patented version of Phased Aray Radar (up to now only used by the military) Ultra flat design: a mere 2.5 cm thick Dimensions: approx. 6.2 x 6.2 x 2.5 cm.

The so-called Global Positioning System (GPS) enables us to measure our location anywhere on earth up to tens of metres 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 Houder (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... "One-Click" conductive magnet construction.
