Where can I find out of all the cameras installed in Palatine, IL? My new Mio C310X shows one at my location, not around my house but under the arrow of my house? WTF if this is true, talk about invasion of privacy.

Like a safety camera, usually used to take pictures of people running red lights... The question is why does it show one at my house?

Probably because it sucks. Unless you live right next to a stop-light, how could there be a camera at your house?

I don't live near a stop sign or intersections, & the thing hasn't been wrong yet... If it says there is a camera, I usually see it... but at my house? WTF?

Wonder if they have one at Plum Grove and Algonquin where the pedestrian got killed this morning. Talk about messing up my 10 minute commute into work....

Wait, that is considered Schaumburg isn't it. Or is it Rolling Meadows?

Your point? I lived in Chicago 15yrs & just moved to Palatine recently... I'm not changing my user name.

I'm not sure but its very close to where I stay, I'm a mile away from Harper College. It might still be Palatine, & link to news story please if you have it.

Maybe you were playing with it and created one. Either case, there's a map/firmware update for that unit for $25 if you haven't got it yet.

I got to the intersection about 7:00 and it was backed up but got through in 3 light cycles (normally just takes one at that time of the morning). I was heading southbound and didn't notice any police or anything.

I assumed it was some broken down car creating problems.

Invasion of privacy... by a camera that's positioned in public? :confused:

I did a reset & cleared all data from the device, it still shows the camera at the location... Is there any way to check online about this issue?
