This wouldn't be because such a device is now commercially (although under
investigation and possibly soon outlawed together with speed radar jammers)
available in the Netherlands? :-)

It's not too complicated an idea, you have fixed positions for all known
camera's as well as the direction they look in, and if the current position
is on a collision course (about) with a camera it will sound a warning.

In the commercial version they have added speed-limits for all roads as well,
so the device knows how fast you are allowed to go there. It of course knows
your car's speed via GPS. Actually since you can approach the camera from a
corner (where collision detection would be too late) they probably took the
camera, then added a waypoint 500mtrs before and after the camera, once you
cross this line (run over the waypoint so to speak) you are in a camera
hot-spot. Then again maybe they just use a 250mtr radius around the camera
(math, yay :-)
