This may be off topic but..... (there is always a but  )
Whilst pootling to work this morning I notice when going around the J10 roundabout that a great many temporary poles with 3 or 4 cameras have been erected on each of the juntions to the roundabout. I counted five cameras just at the southbound slip off of the A3 onto theroundabout.
I don't think that they are speed cams, nor red light cams but perhaps they may be a precursor to a red light cam?
Has anyone else noticed them or can shed any more light as to their purpose? |

Do they look like the cameras on this page HERE?
If so, they are ANPR cameras, used for number plate recognition.

No they don't look as big as those ones. These cameras are mounted on a pole and the pole itself looks like it has been zip tie fastened to existing poles on the roundabout. I will try to get a photo of them either on my way home tonight or on the way in tomorrow. |

Hmmm - I got a photo - how do I attach it to the message? Lets try this....
OK this was taken last night on the M25 clockwise off slip at J10 (A3) This camera is mounted on a streetlight, others are mounted on temporary thin poles tied to existing signs and the like. Sorry for the quality of the shot but it was dark at the time. |

Not sure what these are as they seemed to pointed directionally as a single camera not in pairs.
I would have thought they were just a traffic camera showing congestion (or not), might still be ANPR!
Not a "speed" camera though.
Will have to leave it for others to give views.
