Speed Cameras
There are primarily two main types of speed camera detectors - passive detectors and active
detectors. Passive speed detector units work on GPS and recognise by GPS tracking the location of
sites where the whereabouts of speed cameras has been published. This type of system uses a database of speed camera locations which is uploaded to the speed camera detector. Updates of the database are usually available to download from the internet for an annual subscription
Active speed camera detectors detect the infrared beams from a speed camera as the vehicle that the device is installed in approaches. This type of speed camera detector is illegal in many European countries as well as parts of the United States. Amongst the most well known and recommended speed camera detector makes are Snooper, Road Angel, Inforad.
