New type of camera?

I still think it's a death-ray Smile

Or maybe some form of electronic signage (to display speed / plate) ?

It's too big to be an illuminator and facing the wrong way.

How about Sony Ericsson camera?

The object on the first pole looks like an LED screen or maybe an LED-based IR illuminator?

goodstone is right about the "old cine camera" Laughing

I passed the setup again the other day, and at that time it consisted of:

1st pole - square IR illuminator facing oncoming cars
2nd pole - Main camera lump also facing oncoming cars
3rd pole grey "cine camera" pointing in direction of traffic to catch rear of car as it passes.

It looks like something they would make on Blue Peter out of a shoe box and a toilet roll inner, sprayed grey.

Has anybody thought about actually asking the local council/scp what it is.

GATSO:53211@60 Is another example of one of these cameras

dont think there will be alot of these looking at design.

Someone could wreck in a matter of minutes. not the main camera but the add ons to the other poles. i presume that all parts need to be working in order to prosecute. but according to previous page this camera is not enforcing at mo. On test awaiting home office approval. but i wouldnt like to find out.

Possibly because they will continue to be reported and we are unlikely to know if/when they will be Type approved and become active?

Quick update ... drove past this again over the weekend.

The device (IR illuminator?) on the front post has been removed and replaced with a carrier bag Laughing

covering the top of the post.

The main unit is now forward facing, and appears to have 2 cameras installed. Looks nasty.

While driving past at < 40mph I was undertaken by some lane hopping

in an Astra who must have been going at 55-60. Is it live yet? Here's hoping...
