I think you can set the warning distance on these, and 1/2 mile is the default for the first warning. IIRC, you can also choose to ignore certain gatso's etc if you know they are there and wish to ignore the warning if it happens too regularly.

Actually 'Halfwits' were selling these today as above
I'd bought and paid for mine on E-bay last week, not knowing this thrilling bit-of-gossip in advance but would only have saved about £25 if I'd waited anyway.
Mind you, I could have picked up some chav-based products whilst there I spose'
