No, the device beep before I reach the camera, it provides a fair enough distance for slow down, bout 6 - 8 car spaces.

i guess there's where I was caught since I still couldn't figure out where I was snaped...

You can do up to 15km/h, they allow 3km/h error anyway...

Last month, I was caught in Eastern Corridor (fixed camera) which I was driving at 80km, my radar detector voice out well before I reached the camera, when the detector beeping, I think I am doing 80km, should not be captured. Finally, $320 gone, no need deduct points.
Dude, it's a 70km/h zone

Maybe put on the clear 3m Crystaline coat on the the windscreen... it's famous for being "reflective"
