Cleveland Ohio source for Vehicle Night Vision FLIR Camera Integrations
Access 1 Alarm and Audio offers several solutions for night vision for your vehicle. From standalone camera systems that have a separate display to integrating the image on your navigation screen we have a solution.
Our most common camera is the FLIR thermal imaging system, bringing you the same technology to your vehicle as our military and Law Enforcement agencies utilize, such as aerial drones and stealth aircraft to vehicle mounted units on the HUMVEE’s and police SWAT vehicles. These units are designed to provide the user the ability to see in the night when there is no or limited lighting conditions.
Other options is the use of an infrared camera, however the optics are nowhere as near the quality of the FLIR thermal imaging camera and is susceptible to wash out from oncoming lights. Most infrared cameras need a separate infrared illuminator to provide light for the camera to operate whereas the FLIR camera does not.

Utilizing the factory navigation screen, our camera interfaces allow for multiple style backup cameras to be displayed.

On the above listed vehicles, the camera integration module will display Rear Dynamic Parking Assistance Lines that move along with the steering wheel position. Further, a second video input can be used for any other composite video source, such as a FLIR Night Vision or front view camera that is activated automatically when you place the vehicle in drive or can be turned on by pressing the "Return" button of the steering wheel controls for 3 seconds.

Professionally installed radar detectors and Laser Jammers
Cleveland, Ohio and the surrounding community is unique to the rest of the United States with the implementation of radar drones* on the highway transmitting in K band, red light cameras, speed trap cameras, the use of the older K band radar guns and the newer threat of state of the art laser guns. However, we have covered all the bases with our phenomenal product line up from Escort Radar, Beltronics, AL Priority and K40.
Access 1 Alarm and Audio offers multiple brands of radar systems such as Beltronics, Escort, K40 and the ultimate in laser protection, AL Priority. Even though it is uncommon for a company such as Access 1 Alarm & Audio to put all its eggs in a single basket, we can’t professionally recommend any other equipment other than Escort or Beltronics paired to the AL Priority due to Cleveland’s unique speed measuring threat. We have multiple systems for different budgets with different levels of protection.

The BEST that money can buy!
If you want a system that exceeds all other radar detectors and laser jamming capabilities then there is simply nothing better than the Beltronics STiR Plus coupled with the AL Priority Laser jamming system. The Beltronics STiR Plus offers GPS warnings of approaching red light cameras, speed traps, speed cameras and long range radar detection of all police radar bands. The system includes an interactive display to inform you of the threat and a control panel for accessing the many features of the system.
What compliments the best radar detector? Simply enough the AL Priority! No, it is not a household name...YET! However it is a company that has pioneered laser jammers from the beginning and offers the most powerful laser jammer on the market. The AL Priority is completely customizable allowing you to use the basic single jammer or for those with larger SUV's, five laser sensors providing three units for the front and a pair for the rear of the vehicle.
Options to customize the system include a Bluetooth interface (sold separately) that interfaces the functions of the control panel to an iPhone/iPod.

A GREAT "all in one" custom installed system!
We offer the Escort 9500ci, a custom installed complete radar/laser system with the all new Laser Pro Shifters (laser jammers). Like the Beltronics STiR Plus system above, the Escort comes with GPS warnings of approaching red light cameras, speed traps, speed cameras and long range radar detection of all police radar bands.
Once the weak link of the 9500ci, the new Laser Pro Shifters offer a huge improvement over the past generations of laser shifters and cover a large portion of the United States and Canada. One of the best quality laser shifters on the market, they are similar to one of the industry's leading laser jamming company, Laser Interceptor.

A GOOD choice for multiple vehicles!
Do you have multiple vehicles but do not want to add a custom installed system on every vehicle? A smart option would to be install an AL Priority Laser Defense System or an Escort Laser Shifter Pro to each vehicle as a stand alone system then add the Escort Max2 portable radar detector with built in GPS. An Escort hardwire kit ($89.99 installed) would be needed for each vehicle which will enable you to take your Max2 from vehicle to vehicle.

So what makes these detectors so great compared to others?
The following is the main features that will make your drive more pleasant which are not found on other radar detector systems.
GPS learning allows for the rejection of the false radar signals by the radar drones on the highway while still looking for real police threats. Radar drones are spaced about every mile and turn on briefly. They are used to measure the speed and traffic flow which is then reported to various companies such as Garmin, which uses that data to provide real time traffic flow to your vehicles navigation system.
The red light camera and speed trap database ensures that you are warned of an approaching red light camera or a speed camera. This alone will pay for the unit itself within the first year and for some, within a week! This database is updated monthly to keep up with the current addition of cameras and traps.
Adaptive Signal Processing system uses GPS technology to automatically "learn" (by exact location and frequency) each radar signal and determine if it's a real threat or not. This data is updated real-time during your drive, and provides the most accurate alert system possible. The result is the most accurate long-range protection in the industry and a permanent solution to false alarms. You drive. It learns. End of story. Nothing could be easier.
DEFENDER® Database - Thousands of safety camera locations, including red light and speed-based cameras throughout North America. You can also download updates, back up your data, and stay on top of new threats directly from Escort’s website. These units also come complete with a 3 year Defender Database Subscription for FREE.
Variable-Speed Radar Performance, PASSPORT's Auto Sensitivity mode varies radar sensitivity based on your vehicle's speed. The result is radar performance when needed most.
Mark Location The PASSPORT 9500ci's "Mark Location" feature enables the customer to manually mark known speed traps, camera locations, or anything else worth noting. Once stored in its memory, the 9500ci will provide sufficient warning for all of these points of interest.
While most Police Departments use both K band radar and Laser guns, there is NO active defense for radar. Escort and Beltronics offer some of the best radar detection units on the planet and will cover instant on guns beside the normal X, K, Ka bands. Instant on guns are the type that the police officer points, pulls the trigger, and the gun transmits and receives a signal with your speed almost instantaneously. But what about laser?
Laser guns, or LIDAR, are an aim and shoot detection unit that is light based with a smaller focused transmission beam that is not broadcasting to everyone on the road like radar does. Fortunately it is completely legal in the state of Ohio and most of the USA to "jam" those signals. The AL Priority and the new Laser Pro Shifters from Escort will defuse the signal or “shift it” not allowing the laser gun to read the vehicles speed, thus you not getting a ticket!
What about the portable unit that you are currently using or have used in the past that has laser detection? We call this ticket confirmation. The laser gun the police use will instantaneously know your speed and it happens so fast you would need to react in less than a second (.0000001 seconds to be exact). So without an active laser jammer you will be confirming the ticket with the laser detector.
