If you have the resources to buy a brand new car, you can be sure it will be equipped with the latest infotainment features such as voice command, gesture control, etc. And your brand new car will also have built-in Sat Nav that will notify you of the correct speeding zones and even speed camera detection. However, an OEM speed camera detector is most often an optional extra reserved for top-spec models. Usually at an exorbitant extra cost of course. Suffice to say, if you want built-in speed camera detection in your brand new car, it will always be an eye-watering expensive optional extra. Why pay all that extra money when you can buy speed camera detection technology for the fraction of the price and is also technically superior? And what if you are one of the many people who do not have the available means to buy a new car yet desire to beat those speed camera blues, thus negating the accumulation of fines and penalty points?

That person is you, yes you, the one who is reading this. There is hope for you, new car owner, and you the many who make up the used car market where the technology transfer has yet to make an impact, if at all. You the many, used car owners, can now beat the hidden profit generators, otherwise known as speed cameras, by outwitting them with a relatively affordable technically advanced speed camera detector.

The Saphe Drive Mini is one such speed camera detector, a small, lightweight, compact external device that fits into the palm of your hand. But it’s not meant to fit into your hand, it is designed to be mounted into your car in a number of configurations.

A secondary mount is available to allow you to place it in between the air vents, The Saphe Drive Mini is small and compact enough not to be a distraction. Yet the buttons are large and therefore easy to access. And the notification graphics are easily readable and understandable.
