- the second (end of the zone) with a speed limit of 5 km / hour or 0 km / hour,
both cameras are directed against the movement; in those areas where speed is controlled in both directions, there should be four cameras (two opposite);

2- there should be one camera in any direction and recording in speedcam_category
[speedcam_category: 3]
max_section_time = 120; is the warning indication time

I can make a clarification regarding the Average Speed Camera because they have been the subject of my tests in these two months......

If the default speedcam.zip file is used, none of the 2 methods work;

In the plugin.ini there is this command, use_road_speedlimit=1, for which all the points are given the speed limit of the road we are traveling on, including the points that had as limit 5 or 0 km/h. Without these points there is no interruption of the controlled section. Method 1 does not work properly.

Also in the plugin.ini is this command, ;max_section_time=180 ;180 = ---> average speed zone validity time sec, it is clearly disabled, so there is no time that determines the end of the controlled section. Method 2 also does not work properly.

It is possible to use both methods together, with the exception that, with the max_section_time records, the end of the zone will be farther than from the second camera, otherwise the second camera will start a warning about the control zone with a limit of 5 km / hour or 0 km / hour

Even here there is an inaccuracy, even if 10 minutes is used as the duration of the controlled section, when a point is found with speed 5 or 0 km/h the controlled section end.

With the appropriate modifications the Average Speed Camera works, the problem is any other "Cameras" that we can find in the middle of these sections. Surely we will not find a Fixed Speed Camera, but a High Accident Zone or a Tunnel is possible, including all the other "Cameras" that can be on adjacent roads or within 500 meters.
The SCDB files have no directionality so they can interfere.

Until a month ago, when another camera was found in the section, the Avrage Speed Camera stopped, now sometimes it stops momentarily, indicates the type of Camera with the written warning, sound and the appearance of the icon, and resumes after having passed it. Sometimes we have only the written notice, and sometimes it is ignored, the behavior is not stable but unfortunately it cannot be improved.

P.S. no one should thank me, I just did the tests, all the credit is from Pongo who worked to improve it........

Or maybe I followed classes too well ... lol.

I live in France (some alerts allowed), close to Switzerland (no speedcam alerts allowed) where I go from time to time.

So let's say, the speedcams alerts are always turned on ... and a "cop" comes up ... I need to be able to quickly turn off Speedcams warnings ...

;-)

If you read the "Read Me" file in the Pongo download this is explained there.

Hi, can someone turn off the screen saver? I didn't find it anywhere.
