Super Gatso

Government to launch new Super Camera, the 'Daddy' Gatso Now has 4-lens cam! Drivers beware! This new super speed camera, dubbed 'the daddy', is on its way to a road near you.

Motorists really will have nowhere to hide, as it's fitted with four lenses, Three digital still cameras, plus a video capture system. Note, Present speed camera detectors that use GPS will still warn you of these devices

These enable it to patrol up to four lanes of traffic at a time - current camera systems can only monitor part of a wide carriageway. The new Multi-Camera System can also be used at traffic lights and box junctions. And there will be no disputes as to who was behind the wheel, as the device has an infra-red flash, which means it can be forward facing to take pictures of drivers' faces.

Made by Dutch firm Gatsometer, which builds the infamous Gatso, the most common speed camera in the UK. The hi-tech new machine can hold up to 60,000 images of speeders on its encrypted hard drive, while the photos can be downloaded any time via a phone link. This, plus the fact it comes with defence spikes to deter vandals, means its almost maintenance free

A spokesman for Serco, Gatsometer's UK distributor, said  "It's not available in Britain at the moment, but we could introduce it in the future. The local camera partnerships need to decide if they want it.

Gatsometer's more expensive four-lane Automatic Number Plate Recognition system will arrive first. The Serco spokesman confirmed that the set-up, which times drivers between two points, will undergo Home Office trials soon and could be in use by early 2007.
