will this detect when there is a red light camera or a speed camera coming up

No it doesn't pick up traffic light camera,it will pick up a speed camera over all its a great deal for the money. I use it all the time when driving upstate NY hasn't failed me yet.

No. It will not detect cameras, but will detect speed detector signs that law enforcement periodically put up on streets and highways. The red light camera has no laser or radar to be detected.

It will only pick up speed cameras that are "front facing" (i.e. the violation picture is of your front plate). Most U.S. speed cameras are "rear facing" since not all states require front plates. In these situations, you generally won't know there's a camera until after you've passed it (and have already been caught, if you were speeding). It will not pick up red light cameras, as others have noted.

I need to know if it will detect stationary speed cameras. not red light cameras

Detects radar used with speed trap areas. Has free app database that shows known trap areas. Simply put no. It doesn't detect the camera itself. Most of those spots don't activate radar til you run the redlight .. So..... Goodluck. Haven't had a ticket since I bought it

It will If the cruiser has a radar unit in it and if the unit is turned on and sending out radar emissions..Police radar units are dash mounted and have a circular or horn antenna aimed down the road in front of them and also behind them it it has two antennas,one in the front and one in the back. They also have radar guns that can be operated from their side windows on occasion but can also be dash mounted. Radar detectors only pick up traffic radar emissions not the cruiser or anything in it other then a operating traffic radar. Police can also turn off their radar and wait for a speeder to come in sight and then turn it on before you have time to slow down even with a radar detector. Luckily they often do not do this but be aware of hills or curves where police often hide with their radar either on or off as a blind cuve or hill will allow little warning for even the best radar detector. In these cases slow down before you approach them. Police radar can be used "on the move" which is often their preferred mode of operation. They drive in the far left passing lane with either their radar on ,which is pretty easy to find,or off in "stand by" and trigger their radar when they see a person going above the speed limit moving toward them. They can also do this with speeding vehicles coming up behind them but they don't do it when they moving very often. Hope this is helpful. Feel free to ask any other questions you have about this topic.

You will have to load the data base from Cobra which has the speed traps and camera locations. The GPs will track your location and then alert you of a camera.

if there are any speed cameras on the road you will be notified 300 (?) yards in advance. never heard about red-light cameras, so probable there is no such a thing for this gps.

It should! It has a motion sensor & goes on when it sees some thing. Worth the money. We R happy!

there are no speed cameras in my vicinity. there are red light cameras which are in the device database. i get notified several hundred feet prior to the red light camera. i assume that the speed camera warning is similar so that you have sufficient time to reduce your speed. you have to keep the database updated but if it is a mobile speed camera i am not sure what you can expect. the radar and laser detectors seem to work very well.

The 9970g has gps which is great for warning you of speed trap areas and of photo red lights. Advance warning is superb - it picks up twice as far as my older detectors.

I think if the little red light is blinking it should be recording. Make sure to land it safely, otherwise I think it doesn't keep the recording. I haven't use the camera much because the quality isn't as good as I had hoped. Good luck.

If you follow the recommended power termination, no. As the system only comes on when the vehicle is put in reverse. And the monitor shows both the fred from the camera and the distance of each sensor from objects.

Yes, the receiver has LED indicator light (the red area as you can see in the picture) which will be flashing when the sensor is triggered.

The display turns red when you are over the speed limit. I have not noticed any audible alarms other than for a warning that an intersection with a camera is a head.

Yes, it does alert you when you are in the vicinity of red light an speed cameras in school zones. You do need to update the safety camera data from the Garmin website.

No it does not detect red light cameras. It detects most forms of radar except the most modern, like Proline, that shoot a radar beam about the size of a softball. Really no detectors pick those unless the detection is whole car or happens to be place where the softball sized beam is pointed. In Florida where I live police are not using the newest forms of radar, so it works fine and has never missed a detection here. But when I was in Atlanta October 2014, I got a ticket from a cop using in Proline radar gun.

This detector doesn't detect traffic cameras. It's a great detector for the price but you have to look up at intersections for the traffic camera.

Yes indeed. Once the red lights start blinking and while looking into the eye spot you'll see a spot that reflects like a flash it'll apear bright red flash that's the lens of the hidden camera. As far with signal depends on what type of electronic is nearby within the room

So I used this on a cross country trip in December, it was accurate then. It picked up every red light camera, a few months ago. Other than that, I don't know .
