Default speeding and fines

Alright guys I got caught last week speeding in the car by a forward facing camera ( the nice ones when on the bike). I was doing 35mph in what i thought was 40mph zone, it turns out to be 30mph. Now i have a letter saying they have photographic evidence with me doing 35mph and i need to fill the form in. Frm looking at this web site www.smilecamera.co.uk ( what a **** take oif a name ) it say all they need for a speeding conviction to be valid there are only two requirements - appropriate speed limit signage and evidence that the speed limit was broken. There is no legal requirement to inform a motorist that a speed camera is ahead. Now my point is as the limit in 30mph does it need to be sign posted as the highway code say street lighting, no other limit etc and what fine and points should i expect an what effect on my insurance. anybody got an idea
