Yet another new camera type?

[C8PPO]

The latest type of camera popping up seems to be a right-angled tubular mounting post, painted very light grey, with 4 sets of very small cameras mounted. I've seen them pop up all around Greater London, south to east to west, and in at least one place they are at a site where a Gatso has recently been removed (A20 Sidcup).

Anybody know what these are? Some new type of speed camera (they're not SPECS), or perhaps a road-charging trial, although they seem to be spread too far and wide for that?

I do have a poor phone camera pic which I'll try to get up here if nobody comes up with an answer in the meantime.

TFL ANPR (Transport for London, Automatic Number Plate Recognition) system I believe. They are watching you etc...

Yeah saw them today.

Having travelled quite a way through London over the last few days, I'm surprised it's even possible to get through the hole with out getting some sought of ticket. What a joke that place has become in recent years.

Amazing state we all live in.
Everytime Im up the West End, I just expect a £50 fine.

Ah well, ANPR is potentially less expensive.

Although, knowing Livingshit, he'll probably use them to fine us for even THINKING about driving though the c-charge zone

I've seen these quite a few times and was wondering what they are! But what purpose are they serving? I've seen some on the Great West Road (A4 i think) near Brentford and this is some way from where the cc zone starts.
