About this app

✱✱ Finally updated for newer devices (sorry it took so long…) ✱✱

CamerAlert is a self-contained Speed and Red Light Camera warning system using data from the renowned PocketGPSWorld.com Speed Camera Database. It provides both audible and visual warnings as you approach a camera and can alert you if you are over the camera’s speed limit. When you are in a section of SPECs (Average Speed) cameras, CamerAlert displays your average speed between each camera in the zone. CamerAlert also utilises directional information to reduce the number of "False Alerts" - you are only warned for cameras that monitor your direction of travel.

CamerAlert works in two different modes: Map and List. In Map mode the main display is a map with the cameras positioned on it. This can be shown either as "North Up" or "Course Up". The list mode simply shows a list of all the cameras in the area, highlighting the ones that you are approaching.

IMPORTANT: CamerAlert comes preinstalled with a demo Speed Camera Database only. To ensure you have the latest camera data we offer a Latest Database Guarantee which allows you one download of the latest updates after product registration at no extra cost. Please ensure you make use of this offer to download the very latest live data.

PocketGPSWorld subscribers can use their annual membership to keep the camera data up to date by linking their member details in the app. If you are not an existing subscriber you can subscribe in the app to ensure access to our regular updates. A subscription can be used on other SatNav devices as well as the Android app (maximum of three devices, one of which may be an Android or iPhone SmartPhone). An annual subscription costs £19.99.

The latest data can be downloaded over the air at any time to ensure you have the most up to date speed camera information to remain safe.

If you see a camera that is not in the database then you can report it using CamerAlert. This feature can also be used to change information about a camera already in the database i.e. changing speed or direction information or let us know that a mobile camera site is still in use. You must register your device to submit cameras.

Disclaimer: The use of a speed camera warning device may not be legal in all countries and territories. Users are reminded that it is their responsibility to check the legality of such a device before use.

Just discovered it also calculates your current average speed between cameras! I use it almost every time I drive, but normally have google maps on top and I only see the camera popups. Any chance of showing the speed on a popup while you're in an average speed trap? The thing I'd really like to see, though, is the ability to download the database automatically over wifi, instead of hearing "take care, you are not using the latest database" every week and having to start the download manually.

This app seems to have it all. Quite impressive. I haven't progressed with a full subscription yet but at some 1.65 week!

I have been using pocketgps since 2007 on a TomTom and when smart phones came along I started using camalert, I have changed phones a few times now, and I can no longer login unless I raise a ticket to remove devices. This is such an antiquity way of doing things.

We limit the number of devices so that subscriptions don't get abused. Sorry that you don't like this system but tickets are generally dealt with same day.
