Cameras Calibration

  • Reference Number: 2933
  • Date released: 18 February 2011

Request

1. When were these cameras last calibrated and has any work been done on their calibration during the recent road works? If you can not provide this information can you please tell me who holds it

2. Has there been a significant increase (greater than 5%) in the cameras detecting alleged offences and the number of prosecutions resulting from this?

Response

In accordance with section 1(1) (b) of the Act our response is provided below;

There is a difference between the camera and the housing. It is the camera that is calibrated and we have the certification for that calibration, which is carried out annually. Road works would not affect this calibration and the camera is checked each time it is loaded and unloaded to ensure it is working correctly.

There has been no increase in alleged offences at this camera during the period of the road works.
