2 camera submissions not added yet after 1 week?

pedrito

I don't know if this is the correct place on the forum but I'd like to ask why is it taking so much for the 2 cameras I submitted from London (one being very new and might not be working as I've seen cars in to much speed not being flashed while I was there) to be added to the database.
I have driven there for around 1 week now and still no alerts are given which means the cameras are not added yet?
On my account in submissions it is still blank and nothing is mentioned.
When I submitted I also sent a photo I took to both places.
How long will it take? Isn't it suppose to be a faster process?

Note if you've submitted a camera you should a) have received an e mail thanking you for your submission and b) be able to see it when you click on the big yellow square to the left (the one with the hand saying we need you) and look for it (no one else can at this stage until it's been verified)

You may not be viewing the forum on a PC, if you do it's the yellow icon on the right (sorry, just realised I said left earlier). You should be able to zoom in to where you reported the camera and it should be shown.

There is an unverified Gatso at exactly the location that you have given above with a heading of SW (ish) but it's a redlight coloured grey not a gatso speed cam. You can see it on streetview. There is also another verified redlight camera for the same set of lights very close by on the other side of the lights with a heading of NE. (This is the one that you can see). You can also see it on streetview coloured grey. If you can't see the one on the map at the location that you gave above, then you were not the first to report it so you won't be able to see it. (I can see it because I am a verifier, and can see all submissions on the map)

MaFt: Both are visible in streetview

If the other one you are on about is just before the A219 Wimbledon turnoff the A3 travelling SW, then it's not in the DB as a cam to be verified. The only ones here on the London side of the turn off are trapping vehicles travelling in a NE direction. So it seems like your submission has not got through. Strange that you are not being alerted to them in the CamerAlert app though.

Didn't really checked the best place in the forum to post all so did it here.
I was in london again today and submitted for the second time the other radar (possibly a monitron alike) and when I was going to submit the other on lewisham (new cross) on the map I saw it was already submitted by someone. However when I drived on that street I didn't received any alert for that camera-radar... very weird... why is this? I receive an alert from the other (on the other side of the street) but not from this one...

If you can see two cameras on the submission map at that crossing, then you submitted the one that shows as a coloured square. If you can see only one redlight camera on the submission map, the other camera has been reported, but by someone else before you did. This second camera has not yet been verified and that's why it's not in the 'public' database and will not alert the general public. I don't know why you are not being alerted to it as your own camera on CA though.

All cameras are manually entered into the database. It's not an automatic procedure. In addition, whenever a cam is reported, its location is verified by one of the PGPSW verifiers or by multiple submissions from different people before it is accepted as 'really being there.'

Right then. The one on the A3 at 51.43725, -0.25287 is not yet in the database so you or anyone else will not be able to see it until the database manager (MaFt) has entered it into the database which could be several days, depending on how busy MaFt is with other submissions. They do not get added to the database just because you have submitted them. As I explained earlier, it is a manual process thet takes time. If you were the first to report it, it will show up on the submission map (once it has been added) as a coloured square with a horizontal/vertical cross in it. There is however a pending camera awaiting verification trapping S/W bound traffic a couple of hundred yards further down (S/W direction) from 'yours', but that one is after the junction with the A308.

I know it's a redspeed (possibly not active yet) because:
- I was flashed before (2 or 3 flashes in a row) by an exactly equal camera elsewhere that was linked to redlights once when I was overspeeding and didn't had the pocketgpsworld database with me :/ So it flashed me and turned the red lights on in front of me.
- When I was there (side-to-side with the camera to make the photo), several cars were overspeeding and on that camera, no flashes happened.
The camera is very recent as I never saw it before there and I drive in the A3 several times in a week.

Now I understand the process a bit more. Thanks M8 Smile

I've also moved this topic back to the relevant sub-forum and deleted the duplicate.
