Attero Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Did anyone else think... that was a bloody camera/cctv? That's quite a way away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Did anyone else think... that was a bloody camera/cctv? That's quite a way away. Motorway monitoring cameras at a guess. There are loads of them about, mounted on bridges for the most part. The blue cameras you see (skinny ones with the aerial) are those too You don't watch enough topgear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I thought the blue ones were Traffic Master monitors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I was led to believe they were sensors, not cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I was led to believe they were sensors, not cameras. The ones I am thinking of are definitely cameras. They may have additional sensors on them to detect problems though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I was led to believe they were sensors, not cameras. I might be venturing into urban bollocks here, but I thought they were essentialy specs cameras that read each cars plate and compared the time/distance to the next set to get a general info level about traffic speeds on any given road. Info then used by Trafficmaster to update their systems. With but a wave of a Govt white paper they could be used for speed enforcement, thus providing an already set-up nationwide network of specs.
