Default Speed Camera detectors

What devices, software are owners using to detect speed cameras both fixed and those used by Traffic Police.

Can be physical in-car devices, or software which needs installing on smartphones.

Can owners vouch that the device/software they use works best.
Please include any costs, services, updates, software charges.

Thanks

to detect being hit by a speed trap, you have to be hit by a speed trap, unless it has a psychic setting lol the flaw is in the name lol

you can get satnavs with fixed and 'possible' locations on it, has to be kept up to dat enad not always 100% accurate though.

I had a snooper that was very good but isn't it a offence to use one?

Surely not illegal? Yes the snooper seems to be best device re: to its accuracy better than being 80% accurate than having nothing at all.

Snooper won't go off until it receives a beam so it knows its being targeted, so if it beeps at you then its probably already too late I'm afraid as its read the camera operator firing at you and they also go off at cameras on buildings, traffic lights etc it can actually be quite annoying so you turn the volume down, and then it just defeats the object IMHO.

Best thing that accidentally worked was the garage door sensors and we do have electric garages and gates so they are fully warranted in our cars should we get asked about them

Used in conjunction with Pioneer F30BT POIbase speed camera black spots... CameraAlert covers even more sites including mobile haunts... Well worth the £20... See http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/ for the details

The old version road angel with added rear camera - problem I'd once a radar detector has told you it's already got you - in that case you NEED a GARAGE DOOR OPENING system as they also JAM lazer guns - how ever if your going at silly speed you may need to prove the opener actually opens your garage door or gates and also prove you sometimes reverse into your garage aswell as drive in forwards - I have CCTV at mine and sometimes I feel like driving in forwards and sometimes backwards -

Lol

PocketGPSWorld developed Camera Alert which I have used on an iPhone 4 and a Samsung S3. I have to say the Android app was much better developed maybe the result of limitations created by Apple.

You can also download camera POIs for use in other devices - Garmins, TomToms, etc.

the Valentine 1 can be used in any country, the shape doesn't matter as it detects signals 360 degrees and even tells you from what direction it is coming from even from behind you (undercover police sneeking up behind you).
Its a good piece of kit well worth a look mate!!
