Thanks for the clarification seanm.....I didn't realize slakr007 and I were arguing. Forgive me slakr007 if I came across as argumentative. This is the problem with blogs.

It makes sense that the inductive loops in the roadway would anticipate the light-running action and trigger the camera.

I may be missing the obvious, but there would have to be something that causes the camera to trigger. I realize that the video camera is tied to the signal change mechanism, but the only way a video would record someone who ultimately does run a red light is if every signal change is recorded. Then if someone does run the light the video of the signal change is recorded.

I guess it boils down to a question of how the video is initiated. Entering the intersection on a yellow is not a violation is it?

Greg mentioned that the new videos record the time when the light changes from yellow to red. If that is the case, what triggers the video? The red light still cameras record once the vehicle enters the intersection, but the new videos would have to record the vehicle before it enters the intersection. These must be high tech video cameras if they can anticipate actions and record the result.
