This may become a contentious issue but here goes.
I have split my camera databases into just 2 categories. Cameras and Redlights. Allowing for 2 different warnings (800 and 200) this means only 4 POI being required. (I have one for new locations that are not in database) so in reality only 5
I am quite happy for Gatso/Truvelo/Temp/Specs etc to be lumped together. After all it is only a warning anyway as not all cameras are 'on' at any one time. Do we really need to tell the difference?
I do not condone the excessive use of speed but it is helpful to glance down athe speedo when near a camera 'just in case' as they are set in my area to only allow a max of 3 MPH over limit. And as the databases and TTN5 do not give a speed limit warning then we should be aware of the speed limit anyway.
So to get to the point. I have the databases set as above. If someone can convince me that I need them seperated then fine but until then the use of only 5 POIs helps greatly when restricted to the limit of POIs .

i use the ones for seperate speed as it can be helpful to have a reminder of the speed at that exact location(although im still warey of the speeds given).

but have it how you want
