Anyone know what this gadget is for

[FullChat]

Anyone know what this camera is for, this is the second one I have seen installed along side a speed camera in west sussex. Is this just another type of cash extraction machine or something even more sinister.

from here:

they are flash units, installed to enable the original gatso to become digital and to not have to have the film replaced. IIRC with the original gatsos the camera was the expensive bit, and they would usually rotate the camera around different sites.

There's a couple been placed on here:

that have gatso stickers on them, so this could be true

They've been popping up over here too (east sussex).
Thanks for clearing up what theyre for, dont really see the point in them myself.

Oh S**t that means they will always be operational and not only when the move the old cameras around the various sites then. A flash will always mean your nicked!

Would this new setup have to home office approved?
If a Gatso (which is HO approved) is now not taking the picture but another device is - the original HO approved setup is now void??

thoughts?
