I'm surprised that BMW would claim to alert on mobile cameras as their is no way their database on the back-end (which likely sources from poi-factory.com as it is the standard) can track them without the addition of crowd sourcing information, e.g., Waze or some of Escort's radar detectors that include a similar function. I too am here in Scottsdale and thankfully both their and Paradise Valley mobile setups are pretty predictable.
With my Valentine 1, JBV1 app which integrates into the V1 for control plus stationary speed camera alerts (sourced from poi-factory.com) along with Waze crowd sourcing alerts I'm pretty much covered. However, for those predictable spots I'll still ensure I'm at PSL +9 or lower as neither Scottsdale or PV will ticket for that.
