Q.Are Speed Camera Detectors Legal?
|
A.Yes TALEX is 100% legal to use and own.
|
Q.Do I need a Radar/Laser Detector as well?
|
A.The traditional method for detecting mobile cameras is to use radar/laser detectors. With TALEX the driver can be warned in advance of possible active mobile camera sites, whether there is a camera operating or not. This unique approach creates greater driver awareness and allows more time to adjust the speed of your vehicle if necessary.
Recent announcements in the Press have indicated that the Government intends to outlaw the use of Speed camera detection equipment that actively detect if a particular camera site is operational or not. Talex is an entirely passive system based purely upon the proximity of the vehicle to a known camera location / accident black-spot / school etc. This approach is entirely acceptable within the current understanding of the Government proposal.

Q.How does TALEX know where the cameras are?
|
A.The people at Talex are constantly monitoring the agencies that decide on the positioning of cameras, as well as having their own team of surveyors constantly monitoring and updating the database
|
Q.If TALEX can tell me where the cameras are, can it also tell me the speed limit?
|
A.When TALEX alerts you to a fixed speed camera position it will also inform you of the speed limit at the site. In the case of mobile sites TALEX will also inform you of the speed limit where possible. Some mobile sites have varying speed limits.
|
Q.How do I update my TALEX SYSTEM?
|
A.You can update your TALEX system regularly using software downloaded at registration via your PC. You will need a PC with windows 98 or above to download the software. If you have no Serial DB9 connector on your PC you may require a DB9 to USB adapter.
