Auxiliary Gatso Cameras at Gatso sites?

[Visitor Q]

Right, this is a picture of a Gatso I used to take great delight in wheelying through. Basically, if you go through at the right speed and clutch it as you hit the lines, they don't 'notice' you.

About a year back they put these extra cameras up there, and apparently in a lot of other places in Hertfordshire.

Since then, I have not wheelied through it

Anyone confirm that they're pretty much there for that purpose? They're marked 'Gatso' as well.

Hi

Is it a camera or flash unit? Could it be a flash setup so it is further from the camera, possibly to reduce glare.

All the best

The internet says they are auxiliary flash units - apparently for Gatsos 'upgraded' to digital, as they don't have as wide a range of exposure.
It seems the 'done thing' is to turn them around to face directly in to the Gatso, though whether this helps or not I don't know.

How would one tell? It's on my walk to the gym so I can check on Weds.

But as far as I remember it's like a video camera.

I noticed they put one up next to a Gatso near work about 5 or 6 months ago, it's position directly behind the Gatso though and facing in the same direction. I assumed it was some kind of new digital replacement and the old big one would be taken down, apparently not. Must be the most expensive flash unit on earth, bet they cost about £20,000 each.

The internet suggested that some of the newer ones in the US used a reasonable model Nikon DSLR.
