9500ix TRINITY DATABASE ACCURACY ?

**Big Bert** · 10-19-2008, 12:39 PM

yesterday i had a redlight camera alert and there was no redlight cam at that light or intersection, i checked and also verified with the county and none at that location. i've heard that the trinity database like the cheetah database uses records as well as peoples input for thier redlight/speed camera updates ? i have 3 redlight cams where i live and 2 are authentic but theres nothing at the third, could it be an error or a planned location already marked ? thanks.

I think that the Trinity database also includes planned or previously scheduled locations which sometimes are cancelled by local governments.

^ Correct.

Just let allyoops know about such verified changes, he'd be more than happy to update the Trinity database.

He's rather obsessive about the database maintenance, and always looking for verified (which is one of the best things about the Trinity database) new info.

Be sure to send him some kind of confirmation document, to support your claim.

I emailed allyoops telling him that I had been through an intersection that alerted me to a RLC, but there was none. He told me there was one there and showed me a Google earth picture of the system. So, I went back to that intersection and sure enough, he was right. It looked totally different than the systems I'm used to seeing. It was much smaller and mounted further from the intersection than I am used to seeing.

None of the red light databases will every be 100% up to date. Camera locations come and go on a daily basis. It's much like radar/lidar detection--having an electronic "angel" to protect you doesn't mean that you can escape from every error in judgment unscathed.

i just spoke with allyoops and this was not a false redlight cam alert but infact a planned future location already in the trinity database. the redlight camera hasnt been installed but its nice to know thier one step ahead. thanx allyoops !

Is the Trinity database owned/maintained by Cheetah? Is it the same database used by Escort? How often are updates released?

**Big Bert** · 10-20-2008, 10:13 PM

Yeah they do, they licensed it out to escort and several other companies. From my understanding they release a redlight/speed update on the first of every month.
