Truvelo questions?
Went to Santa Pod today and got a lift there/back with a mate. On the way back we passed 2 Truvelo cameras which both looked like they flashed as we approached them. 
We spotted both of them a fair way off, my mate reckons he was about on the limit or +2 Mph for the first one - it looked like it flashed twice as we passed it.
The second, we're pretty sure we were about 10mph under the limit (he was paranoid by this point) and that looked like it flashed twice again too!??
Anyone know if they can be triggered by anything else, or if the sun reflecting in the flash aperture can look like a flash? It's the first time i've seen these go off (if that's indeed what it was), sort of a weak purple flash...

Cheers for the info guys, if the flash is infra red then it was probably just sunlight reflecting off the lens that i saw as we passed them.
Hopefully...

Well technically, they do flash - it's just that it is designed not to dazzle the driver because it is front facing. TruVelo's use infra red sensitive film and an infra red flash to enhance the photo where necessary.
