specs cameras are the yellow cameras you see in some road works ie on the m1 between the a14 and liecester they are yellow and have to cameras they work by useing apr (automatic number plate recognition) they work in the dark and fog to

they take your number plate at the first camera and as you pass the second camera you average speed is calculated if you speed is above the speed the cameras are set for hen an nip is issued

thats just a brief description it does get much more techy than that Laughing

The Redlight set is for the Traffic Lights.

Gatso with a * are the Variable Speed Cameras. There are some on the M25 I believe.

They are in the ov2 bmp files\ Folder.

There are 6 sets of files. 1 each of Gatso, Mobile, Redlight, Specs, Temporary and Continental.
