Mobile van Speed camera detection distance

Hello All
Does anyone know what the detection distance of a mobile speed camera van is, as I saw one today and it was about 75 Meters away before a managed to get back to the correct speed limit.

many thanks

Up to 1000m! At 75m you'd have long since been nabbed if they were targeting you.

It's not unusual to be caught at 800m from a mobile camera van.

If you only spotted the van at 75m and you were speeding more than 10% +1 mph over the limit then you can only hope they were on a coffee break. Rolling Eyes

I have my camera warnings set to 999m the maximum I can set them to.

If it's a LASER gun then it's up to 1000 meters. If it's a mobile Gatso camera on a tripod then it's the same as for a fixed Gatso.

Although they are clearly visible, mobile camera units will check your speed long before you notice them and slow down. Confused

Darren,
certain camera partnerships use mobile mini-gatso cameras on tripods mounted at roadside with their van parked in close proiximity.
Other partnerships use these as opposed to their LTI 20:20 laser cameras after dark!
