Don't they have 2 infra red lamps either side of the camera?

The ones in the M1 roadworks are standing next to a single floodlight.

I think they might be having a bit of bother......

Nope, those are Trafficmaster traffic flow monitoring devices. SPECS are as per the picture above and almost always on an ornate lamp-post.

Do scamera vans work at night? If so, what do they use as light to record the number plates? I also saw some traffic plod at the side of a 40mph dual lane section in Stevenage the othernight and they had a handheld jobbie but were pulling the perps in there and then.
