This illustration shows Ghost Scanner equipped in the car, with an example awareness zone of about 1.5 km as you drive. When activity enters the zone, the app on your phone flashes an alert — then goes quiet again when the zone is clear.

The hardware
A compact unit. A windscreen antenna. Your phone as the display.
Ghost Scanner is a portable emergency vehicle detector in a 20 × 10 × 4 cm box. Place it in a car, keep it at home, or carry it in a bag. Plug in the included antenna and open it on any phone through the website — iPhone or Android — or stream it to wireless CarPlay and view it on the car screen. A dedicated Apple app is coming later; iPhone already works today via the website.
Fits in a car, a house or a bag
Small enough to put where you need it.
The Ghost Scanner box is 20 cm long, 10 cm wide and 4 cm high. Keep it under a seat, on a shelf at home, or in a bag when you move between vehicles.
Plug the antenna into the unit and connect wirelessly to your phone. There is no fitted dashboard display and no hardwiring through the vehicle.
