What sort of camera is this?

Hope this is the right place tp put this. I had a search through the forums, but didn't find any information that seemed relevant.

Anyhow, on a route that I use occasionally, there is a camera which is not in the database (well, at least not in the 2 month old database that came with my i3). I have marked the location and was going to report it, but I'm not entirely sure how to do so, simply because I'm not at all sure what sort of camera it is.

The box is similar to a Gatso, but, where the Gatso is wider than it is high, this one is taller than its wide. There are also no road markings associated with it.

So, can anyone tell me what it could be, and how to report it for inclusion in the database?

Thanks.

Paul.

Can you post a rough idea of location? from what you describe it could be a Monitron or redlight camera if its a Monitron it will look like the last image posted in THIS thread

As to the two month old data that was supplied with your Garmin, is this data supplied via Maplin? - if so it is probably a significant number of releases behind the current live data.

You can report new or ammendments to existing cameras by submitting the revised information on THIS Page, to qualify for a free life time membership you must be a site subscribed member, which costs £2 per month, this way you can ensure you are always using considerably more upto date Speed Camera data - Mike

Have you tried a camera search on Thames Valley Safer Roads Camera Partnership website on their camera search?Link

If it's the camera I'm thinking of it's not speed camera at all but a fake one presumably made by a resident who's fed up with motorists speeding through the village.

Check out the following site for pictures:

Should have added the dummy camera is in Lower Heyford and depending on which way you're driving either just before or just after a bridge over the Oxford canal and railway line.
If you are approaching the bridge the camera is in a hedge on the left and obviously if you've driven over the bridge it'll be on the right.

I guess this is great example of why all speed camera reports need to be verified by at least one other person.
