Sited
at the road side, Watchman speed cameras use radar technology to measure
speed, a photo of the back of the vehicle is taken. The Watchman camera is
currently on trial awaiting type approval prior to a national installation
programme.
Like the Gatso, a constant stream of radar is emitted and speed is
calculated as a vehicle passes through, triggering the camera. The
difference with this camera is that it can monitor the speed of a vehicle
before you pass it.
There are also two types of camera built into the head unit. One is used
to take an overview of the road and the other is used as a Number Plate
Recognition System.
You will see these cameras often accompanied by a "speed board" which
displays the speed limit for that stretch of road. Gatso,
