April the 15th, 2025 – A Šibenik man has invented a new form of speed camera detection device that is designed to replace the need for an app.
As Index vijesti writes, there are more and more cameras on the roads that record speeding violations. Many people have paid fines multiple times, and relied on apps to warn them of any camera presence. Something new is on the horizon however, owing to one Šibenik man who has invented a new type of speed camera detection device. This device will help drivers not to break the rules of the road, according to a report from RTL. Denis Periša is the name behind the creation.
“So far, I’ve paid speeding fines several times, whether I was caught on camera or stopped by the police. I try to drive appropriately, but sometimes you get carried away, think about something else and unknowingly commit a violation,” stated Šibenik resident Goran Grgurić. Milorad Kasper Mišković, who is often on the road with either a car and a motorcycle, agrees with him.
“I’ve paid fines so far and I’m sure I’ll pay more, even though we’ve got apps on our phones that can automatically recognise where a speed camera is located,” he said. It seems though, that this isn’t enough. That’s where Šibenik man Denis comes into the picture with his innovative speed camera detection device.
Unlike apps on smartphones that announce that we’re approaching a radar or speed camera, which need to be updated, the innovative device designed by Denis Periša is not software but hardware and connects to a satellite.
“In principle, it’s designed to replace the need for a phone and apps in this case. It has lights on it that turn on gradually as you approach a speed camera. It doesn’t need to be updated, it does all of that itself. It already has an automatic database,” revealed Periša, who designed and built everything on the device himself from the very beginning.
The small device can easily be placed in a car. The light and sound warning occurs at 400, 300, 200, 100 and 50 metres away from a speed camera. It also registers and warns the driver about stopping or parking in unauthorised places, as well as the speed along the entire chosen route of travel. All of this can be viewed later and drivers can be made aware of how fast they tend to drive even there’s no risk of cameras, police and fines.
“It is also used if a parent is going to give their teenager their car to drive. In that way, they can set the speed to warn them and later see how fast they drove and where they were going,” added Periša, noting that the device is not only intended to avoid fines but also to raise awareness of general self-control when behind the wheel.
This Croatian-made device is still in the experimental phase. When it is ready for the market, the young innovator estimates that it will cost between 60 and 100 euros. Considering that the lowest fine for speeding is 60 euros, it could be worth the purchase for many.
