M8TJT.......Thats my opinion, ridiculous or not?

But you said .........The computer can do the 'pairing' between any two cameras it is programmed to.....


I knew I`d get a response and a possible result/outcome, one which I could not find on the net?

SPECS3 uses ANPR. Every camera will carry out these checks, as long as the camera is on. In order to speed check you over a baseline, only two cameras are EVER required. If you arrive ahead of the threshold set, a crime is recorded!. This is examined?, and if at fault, you receive a NIP in the post.

So-far so-good!

However, from what you said, I will now assume the following....

It would appear to me now, from what you described above, that the SPECS3 cameras are not, and do not need to be paired at all, in the literal sense, ie one after the other, as (I'm) were so used too! Its making a little more sense now. Your right. Any camera will detect me, as their just going about their ANPR task. The next camera (no matter where, even if I turn down another road?) records ANPR and compares me on the database to the last recorded ANPR check, checks the time & distance, and hey presto a match, and oops!, an over speed, so here comes my NIP?

Its the system that makes the paired zone between those two cameras, no matter how distant they are from each other! Its not pre-set. Cunning? lane changes cannot hide you on a motorway ( I see the logic now)

Only joking about the NIP, nothing coming my way.
ps. You still, therefore, cannot link an Entry camera to more than one Exit camera at the same time, no need? Lol.

Cheers for your reply, its helped to make sense of the logic.

Hmm. How about places like Nottingham which has Specs cameras blossoming on every street corner?

Go from A to C via B, no speeding. But go via D and you've burned a lotta rubber. I wonder how the cameras know which route you've used? Shocked

They use the longest direct route (which will subsequently give the slowest average speed) - so you actually get a slight 'benefit of the doubt'...

Presumably if there's a situation that you describe there will be no NIP as the measurement would be ambiguous.

Hmm. I'd have to ask Anita to check my sums, but I would have thought if they apply a measurement of 1 mile and you do it via the backstreet ratrun of half a mile, you'd be in the mire? (1 mile at 30mph takes 2 minutes, half a mile takes 1 minute, so if you got there in one minute you'd be doing 60mph on their route, gotcha! Where's Anita when you want your sums doing properly? 'Course, M8TJT will have something with funny symbols in the sums, but I can never understand him Sad ).

Sorry, I got it the wrong way round, they'd have to assume you took the SHORTEST direct route, which would result in the slower average speed.

Probably, yes. But most people who are speeding are wanting to get somewhere quicker - so that wouldn't really benefit them.

Oh yes they ARE going quicker. I see it every day. Those people in back to front baseball caps with fast cars with big exhaust pipes that make a lotta BRRRM, BRRRRM noise, they're going helluva quick when they pass me to get up to the traffic lights before I do. It gives them an extra 17 seconds to listen to bangy bangy music whilst they wait for me to catch up.
