Camera type change

I have been looking to see what your procedure is to report when I have noticed one type of camera changes to another. Locally a former red light camera has now been replaced by what I have been told is a dual purpose device with white lines added.

Also, do you want to now when the replace the old style Gatso with the newer, smaller, more evil sort?

Apologies if I am not looking properly

Mike

Use the Camera submission map - zoom in to the location and click the camera, then add the change details, remembering to fill in the comments box, stating that it has changed from Redlight to RedSpeed. It will be reported to the Verifiers for confirmation.

We don't need change details for the change of other cameras from Gatso (wet film) to Monitron (digital) type - they are still basically fixed speed cameras, just operate differently, but with the same result.

This was a timely post, just been made aware of a couple of gatso to digital changes, now I know what to do. Or not to do, so to speak.

Perhaps it's worth mentioning that (probably) back in the mists of time when the database first started, there was only one type of speed camera and it was made by Mr Gatso. So was born the Gatso - think "Hoover". There are now several types of camera (e.g. Gatso, Monitron, Truvelo), so like hoovers made by that nice man in Bradford upon Avon and those advertised these days made by all sorts of people, they all pick you up and send you a ticket. We have been wondering why MaFt doesn't change the database just to say "Fixed Camera" - I'm sure he's told us, but I don't pay attention. Confused

See, I knew there was a perfectly reasonable explanation - he just doesn't want lingerie fallout.
