Ash007 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Anyone seen these new style small white cameras that are popping up, They tend to place three of them across the bar and mostly seen them by gatso cameras. So far west london, hayes bypass and some north london... does anyone know what they are being used for? cant be speeding if they are facing the oncoming driver.. unless these are some new hi tech stuff...

Chris`I Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Are they on a yellow bar/frame? Sounds like an average speed camera to me. Tend to place them on roadworks at the start and end and a few between if its a big stretch. Means you cant speed and then slow down at the camera as it remembers what time you passed the others and will fine you if you got there too quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash007 Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 No, its a white bar frame, they dont look like the average speed cameras, like i have seen on the M1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Pretty sure they are ANPR...... Automatic Number Plate Recognition....... they take a digital pic of every car in each lane and send back to central database, that checks whether you have tax, stolen, etc. etc..... Here's an overview of the technology. trying to find pic of cameras to get you to say thats em.... http://www.cctv-information.co.uk/constant3/anpr.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alscar Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 ANPR sounds about right.... Having said that there are a lot of white CCTV systems in a lot of road works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
