The world-first mobile phone detection cameras in NSW have in their first week of operation nabbed more than 3,300 drivers breaking the law.

The cameras were rolled out across the state at the beginning of this month, with figures released on Tuesday showing about 500 people were caught on average each day in just one week.

Over 773,000 vehicles were scanned in the first week across six different locations.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge and Lucas Heights in Sydney's south-west were named as particular problem areas, with 179 and 210 detections respectively over four days.

There were also 126 detections at Nowra, on the state's south coast.
