Speed Camera Detector Buying Guide

Early in-car speed camera detectors relied solely on radar and/or laser detection. These early devices did not include a GPS database - now the foundation of all 2026 speed camera detectors - and could only detect radar or laser-based speed cameras on UK and European roads.

Since the first Gatso radar speed camera was introduced in 2001, speed camera technology has advanced significantly. Modern systems such as SPECS and VECTOR average speed cameras cannot be detected using radar or laser alone. For these newer camera types, alerts are only possible through a GPS-based speed camera detector.

GPS speed camera detectors work by using a database of GPS coordinates that includes camera locations and the enforced road speed limit. These databases can be updated regularly—often daily—via a compatible computer with an internet connection, ensuring you always have the most accurate information.

Speed Camera Detection Technologies Explained

Modern speed camera detectors may use one, two, or all three of the following technologies to provide advanced warnings:

• GPS – Uses an updatable database of GPS coordinates to alert you to fixed and mobile safety camera locations.

• Radar – Provides live detection of radar-based systems, such as Gatso speed cameras.

• Laser – Offers live detection of laser-based enforcement systems, commonly used by mobile speed camera units.

Important Legal Information

It is fully legal to own and use GPS, radar, and laser speed camera detectors in the UK. However, if you plan to use your detector outside the United Kingdom, we strongly recommend checking local laws, as the legality of speed camera detectors varies by country.
