## What is South Australian Radar Alert?

South Australian Radar Alert (SARA) is an application which detects speed cameras or radars (mobile cameras, static speed cameras and red light cameras) using information published daily by the South Australian Police Department.

This information covers the Adelaide region as well as country locations throughout South Australia.

======================

GETTING STARTED

1. If you just installed the app you will need to grant permissions (when requested) for SARA to access your current location.

2. Explore the settings page and set the following:

Alert Mobile Cameras (on/off) - SARA alerts you when approaching a mobile camera location. These locations are updated daily.

Alert Fixed Cameras (on/off) - SARA alerts you when approaching a static fixed camera location or red light camera location. These locations are updated regularly.

Alert Repeat Count - The number of times SARA will sound an audible alert when a camera location has been detected within your alert zone.

Alert Zone - SARA will alert you when your current location is within the alert zone setting (in metres) of a camera location.

Alert Test - A sample test alert to introduce you to SARA.

Auto Centre Map (on/off) - Automatically centre your current location on the map and follow your bearing.

3. The help section provides additional information regarding the symbols which appear on the map.

4. Touch any pin on the map to display detailed information for the selected camera location.

### 1/5 — Mobile cameras missing

*2025-02-01, version 7.1*

Was working fine but since a few days ago the mobile cameras are not showing only the fixed cameras.  I sent the developer a request for help but no response.  I want my money back!

### 4/5 — Nice n smooth experience so far

*2022-09-26, version 6.0*

I have been using this app from so long, had no troubles and I really appreciate the developers put efforts to make the app better and better. Waiting for more updates and improved features.

### 5/5 — AAA

*2022-04-29, version 5.2*

I discovered this app recently and wished I’d found it much earlier. My experience has been very positive. It works well and is good to know I have that little bit more help riding along in the car. I had a minor set up issue that was quickly resolved by the developer. This is a good app that I recommend, well done to the developers. PS. Forgot to mention in my case I felt it very worth while to pay the small fee that opens up access to mobile placements!

### 5/5 — Must have

*2022-03-19, version 5.2*

Wow what can I say if you are someone that loves to drive weather an Uber or taxi driver or just want to go on those long journeys this is a must have app, never disappoints and always on point, Definitely a 11/10 for me.

### 3/5 — Can’t get alerts to work at all

*2021-11-18, version 5.0*

All settings to ON , no alterts trigger at all . I’ve emailed developer , so far no response . Help me please !

### 1/5 — Mobile radars

*2021-01-02, version 3.90*

The app does not list current mobile radar cameras SaPol website is more accurate till this is fixed it’s not worth the money

### 2/5 — Problems

*2020-03-10, version 3.80*

My app also does not work. I have set locations to ‘always’ but it still fails to load radar sites

### 5/5 — W

*2019-11-08, version 3.30*

Worked ok for a few days now it crashes after a few seconds of opening. Disappointed that I can’t contact the developer to rectify this especially since it’s a paid app.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2019-01-21*

It is a good app to avoid of fines
