They would need to be happy with us selling on the data - this is the main thing. When we have contacted sites before in similar situations (user says they have good data we should use etc etc) then the usual response is 'no, because you are sellig it and we want to keep it free'.
It'd need to be in CSV format with as much info as possible for longitude, latitude, speed, camera type (fixed, mobile etc), heading (direction to get caught).

Could you please go visit and check their cameras...
Number 171, where we already have two cameras
Number 204 where we already have one.
These are just two or three examples which raise the question of accuracy of the databases. If you were to use the submission map page as suggested by Darren, you would see the cameras which we already have and you could compare them with the ones you have been reporting.
Have you seen these cameras yourself, or are you just copying them from the LT database? _________________ Dennis

you have only 14% of data bases, and the buyer does not know. |

So they are happy for us to sell their database and not give them a single bit of money from it? Seems strange - people don't usually like that.
Still, the official line is that submissions should be of cameras you have seen yourself. Not just ones that another website has.

Sorry but we could not run this site for free. Every single camera submission gets manually checked for accuracy and verified before being included in the database.
Even with best intentions users still submit wrong coordinates, inaccurate coordinates, wrong speeds etc. As such we can't rely on simply accepting every submission straight into the database. For a free database then the innacuracies may not be an issue. But for our paid-for product we have to keep the quality as high as possible - we do this by checking each camera submission. I spend around 3-4 hours *every day* doing this. Sometimes more. I can't do it for free.
