Hi. Apologies if this is in the wrong place but I had this email arrive today. I had been on a journey and used the cameralert on my iPhone but I have not submitted any cameras. Wondered if this was dodgy. The location shown is 'up north'. I went to the south coast from south London.

Nope, looks genuine. Why you got it having not submitted a camera I'll let others answer.

Does the Elson location with 4 way Redlight sound like somewhere you've been ?

I suspect that it was close enough for a confirmation of the existing cam.
There are actually 4 cams covering those lights, already in the database.

'Confirm' implies you submitted a 'seen again' for an existing camera.
