Default New cameras in front of Gatsos?

Only seen them at night, but they look like cameras, on their own posts and painted blue in front of all the local Gatsos.

Anyone know what they are?

Not the Trafficmaster ones. These have just popped up recently in front of all our local Gatsos, facing the same direction as the Gatsos.

To watch the gatso in case of vandalism. One sprung up near me in front of gatso that kept being burnt out. The only trouble now is they need a camera to watch the camera that watches the gatso.

I don't know if this is the same thing, but I noticed in MK H10 Bletcham Way by the MK Dons stadium that there is a lamp post style Truvelo speed camera.

You can hardly see it as it is all grey with a bit of blue on it and the name Truvelo.

How cunning is that!
