Yes, Mini Coyote is Europe’s most advanced real-time GPS speed camera alert system. You are alerted in advance of the presence of mobile speed cameras. The Mini Coyote screen informs you of the remaining distance between your vehicle and the mobile speed camera. You are then asked to confirm the presence of the mobile speed camera by using the instructions on the screen.

The location of mobile speed cameras comes from the Coyote Community. When passing a mobile speed camera, Coyote users press the button on the Mini Coyote to inform the rest of the Coyote Community of the presence of a mobile speed camera at this location.

When you drive past a mobile speed camera that has already been reported, it is important to confirm its presence, or indeed if it is no longer there (as this aids other Coyote users behind you). Any confirmation increases the duration of the radar warning for a further hour.

Yes, Mini Coyote detects the direction of travel of your vehicle and takes into account the direction of fixed and mobile speed cameras. Therefore, you are only alerted to cameras which can affect you.

When a driver presses a button on the Mini Coyote, the location of the position of the vehicle is sent to our servers. The system also takes into account the history of the users. These measures increase the reliability of the information as it relates to mobile speed cameras.

1) Press the right hand button on your Mini Coyote (as if you were reporting a Mobile Speed Camera) and try to notice if the camera is just for your lane or both lanes

2) Make a mental note what the speed limit is, along with the date and time you pressed the button.

3) Please also detail the city or place where the camera is located (e.g. on the M62 from Liverpool to Manchester near J12)

If possible, please then email the above information to info@coyotesystems.co.uk along with your Coyote ID number (six digits). If you are able to send us the most complete information possible, we can add it to our database.

Will my Mini Coyote help me when I drive through an Average Speed Camera Zone?

Unlike lots of other speed camera alert systems, Coyote will also warn you when you enter an average speed (SPECS) zone such as those in many motorways roadworks. Better still, it will automatically calculate your average speed throughout the area and tell you whether it’s under, over or ok.

It is true that a few local authorities have decided to turn off some or all of their fixed location speed cameras; however Coyote adds value to all motorists, no matter where they are in the country.
Mobile speed cameras and SPECS average speed cameras, like the ones you find in motorway roadworks, will both remain in use.  A Coyote alerts drivers to the presence of both.

There’s also a lot more to the device than just speed camera alerts. Coyote identifies school zones, incident alerts and accident blackspots, as well as entry into the London Congestion Charge Zone and is already trusted by nearly half a million drivers across Europe – making it a must-have road safety gadget for motorists.

What are the different Speed Cameras in the UK?

Gatso speed camera: Fixed Gatso speed cameras are rear facing (so the ‘flash’ does not blind oncoming motorists). These cameras account for 90% of all fixed speed cameras in the UK. They use radar technology to measure speed and take a photo of the back of a speeding vehicle.
