Watchman – Measure your speed and photographs the front of the vehicle along with driver.
Speedcurb – Measures your speed and photographs the rear of your vehicle.
DS2 – Semi-permanent, sensor based system that connects to a camera on a tripod.
How They Work : Rubber strips in the road calculate your speed as you pass over them via the small telltale grey post which sits along side. The DS2 system requires a mobile camera usually in a van to plug into this grey post in order to photograph you. They cant calculate your speed without the van plugging the camera in the post so watch for it nearby.
Limitations : Difficult to spot if you are not using a GPS Speed Camera Warning System. Cant capture your speed unless the van with camera is plugged into the grey post. Sometimes the strips in the road are only on one side of the road.

arrrh Speedcurb was my old bosses design. they product has been round for sometime now but we coudnt ever get it working.
Good news is that the company went bust but some1 quickly toom over it
I designed the box for the side flash that speedcurb and redspeed used. I think they are in Ireland and London now.
The bosses was a **** but a very clever man

I was fresh out of uni when I took that job. 12 months of temping and jobseekers sucka thats why i took the job and I needed the experience.

If I detected one of them wheelie bin Gatsos with my black spot/supplementary road tax detector, I'd go back to my house and find the most rancid rubbish I could, and then top off their bin for them
