Latest mobile phone and seatbelt detection camera locations for Melbourne and Victoria: July 2025 mapped

While mobile phone and seatbelt detection camera positions can vary month to month in Victoria, police are obliged to publish locations for public transparency.

Mobile phone and seatbelt detection cameras are mounted high up on portable trailers and photograph drivers from above as they pass.

The cameras detect if the driver is using a mobile device illegally, or failing to wear their seatbelt legally.

The map below shows mobile traffic cameras in their latest approved locations around Victoria.

And these spots are not just picked at random, with Victoria Police explaining these locales in various ways.

These reasons are:

• Documented history of collisions or road trauma within the previous three years.
• Validated complaints of drivers using portable devices illegally, or with the improper wearing of seatbelts.
• Identified by police as deemed necessary.
• The road environment and physical characteristics are likely to encourage a higher frequency of driver distraction or improper wearing of seatbelts.

The majority of camera locations (94 per cent) include a documented history of collisions or road trauma within the previous three years, as at least one of the reasons for their placement.

Victoria Police provide a map of all permanent road safety camera locations that you can view here.
