Scamera sasti vans - their range

[Hooli]

I'm sure ive seen it on here before but i cant find it or recall the figures. when the scamera gits park on a bridge with the camera out the side of the van what range does it work at?
i slowed enough by the time i was about 3/4 of a mile away & had hid behind a truck a few hundred yards before that when i saw it. it was facing me & i was on the bike so probably safe (they dont have cameras the other side for bike plates do they?) just wondering.

oh it was essex on the A12/M25 junction if that affects anything.

Up to 1km, so it is said. And of course the operators can form an incredibly accurate (prior) opinion of your speed at such distances..

No. They either spin the camera around and record the bike as it passes or simply jot the plate down into a notebook..

work at up to what the manufacturers claim
- 1 - 2000 metres
for speeding i thought it was anything under 750 metres less than half a mile have to take aco of the height of the bridge as well

how the they do it not sure but there we are, only after white middle class motorists, don't see them gunning council estate rat runs do you

But the evidence is only admissible at distances below the maximum to which the device has been Type Approved by the Home Office. In the case of the LTi20-20, for instance, this is 610m-999m depending upon the variant (AIUI..).

cheers chaps it sounds like i'll be ok then.
when looking up at the van the camera appeared aimed a lot closer than when i saw it so from that i thought i was safe. nice to hear the same on here though.
oh & after i passed it i accidently slowed a touch so the view of me should have been bloked by the truck behind.
