That’s not the case, so the service is mostly useless, time will tell if the permanent camera alerts will be worth it.
Your best bet is to pick up a radar detector as it will call out mobile radar unit at least a 1/4 a mile away but generally a half a mile. I can't recommend the Valentine 1 Gen2 more for this use case as well as overall freeway driving as it is has the greatest sensitivity over all the others outside of Escorts Max Ci 360 which requires a complete custom install vs just windshield "suction cup" or under the rear view mirror mounting (I'd recommend BlendMount) for the V1 Gen2. I've been running V1 Gen1 and now Gen2 for 15 plus years now with zero tickets.
