Static ones are certainly illuminated with IR floods and
you get the plate lighting up with the on axis reflection,
just like cats eyes. Don't know about the mobile ones but
it would be a bit of an omission if they didn't have them
too.


I recently fitted an ANPR camera for a customer, attached to
their CCTV system. They are amazing, even in bright
sunlight there is next to no image. As you say they have IR
illumination and this is reflected back from the number
plate. The effect is outstanding, the filter in front of the
camera basically only allows the IR frequency of light
through and the number plate shows perfectly, day or night.
The mobile ones do appear to have IR illuminators too.

Its done to make sure the idiots that fit reflective coatings
on plates and other such junk get caught.

What's idiotic about avoiding the ****ing GATSOs?

Being idiotic enough to think they work! Looks like you do.

How would people know they don't work?

And for your information I don't. I use a satnav so I slow down
before the gatso.

dennis will soon tell you that you should not have to slow down for a
GATSO
and that he believes that ALL vehicles should be linked via GPS to
limit their top speed to exactly the maximum allowed.

He is talking crap.
I said it would record the event so the speeder could be fined and
disqualified.
There is no need for it to limit.

What if they exceeded the limit to avoid an accident due to no fault of
their own?

Considering an old woman got done for speeding while being scared of a lorry tailgating her, yes they probably would.
