There are a lot of fixed speed camera systems in the UK. Most use radar aimed at the rear of a passing car/motorsycle, some use current loops in the road and some use a system where your license plate is read at two fixed points and the time between reading is used to calculate the speed.
Obviously only the first type can be detected by a V1. There are systems available that use a database and a GPS to warn you when you're near any fixed site.
There are also mobile radar based systems; a V1 would detect those best as they tend to be aimed at approaching vehicles.
And then there are hand-held or tripod mounted lasar guns, some with built-in cameras.
For more info on what's used in the UK see this website.
