For laser defense, ALP is the leader because it's the only system that reliably counters the most modern threats like VPR guns. Placement and installation of the equipment is CRITICAL if you want your system to work. Hiding sensors in aesthetically pleasing locations rather than the recommended locations will mean the difference between a system that works or doesn't.

For radar, you must first decide if you want an installed stealth system or a window mount unit.

Escort and Radenso are leaders in the radar market, and definitely worth considering. Just don't waste your time with the Escort laser defense, it's not up to the standard of ALP.

The new Valentine 1 is highly rated for a window unit, but seems to have issues with BMW cars featuring the gesture control. Radenso has been working on a fancy new window unit called Theia, but it's still not available and I don't think there is a definitive release date.

Stay away from K40 like the plague. They are junk.
