the more you pay the more you get. pay only $75 and you'll get radar dectecting from mobile and possibly fixed camers. reliability will be questionable and the dectection range would more than likely be laughable. the road angel here costs £400 INC 1 years subscription to there service. dectects Fixed and Mobile cameras of all types. as well as using Gps technology to alert you to accident black spots and to warn you of speed changes.

we dont have cameras here, so i dont know what you are talking about with fixed and mobile.
(i know about radar+cameras, im from germany)
fixed speed cameras that are set up at the side of the road or above motorway bridges that use the radar speed trap to trigger a camera to take 2 pics of your car as proof of your speed then they fine you and give you points. I (Unfortunatly [:D] ) know you have the mobile cameras there just the ones the cops have. (we call them cameras but there usually just the cops with speed decetors) the french unfortunatly are the worst for these. not only is it a 1500Euro fine for a radar detector but they also have detectors that can catch you upto 2Km away!!!!!

where are you located? because ive never heard radar or lazer guns called cameras.
i know there are stationary units that radar your car and then take one picture which requires a flash and the info is mailed to your house but only removes points (not adds) after you have paid the ticket or gone to court.

good article. i was reading that and realized i had the Bel 985 years ago. I was so pissed at it going off all the time and no cops around, i sold it and got an average Cobra.

what does it really matter if its detectable? im considering another one for my other car. i quit using them and moved here where all the cops are b!tches. i have room for one more ticket, then after that i lose my liscense and my job. [paranoid]
