mc968cs Posted 12December, 2022 Report Share Posted 12December, 2022 Hello, has anyone else noticed a new sort of camera system starting to appear on the side of the road? They are fixed, with solar panels all over them, and a lot (5?) of cameras on them. They’re about 6 feet high and about 4 foot wide and 4 foot deep. they still have plastic wrapping on them so aren’t in use yet, but I’d love to know if anyone really knows what they’re all about? I’m starting to see a lot of them. GC9911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troubleshooter Posted 12December, 2022 Report Share Posted 12December, 2022 Like this one below? Nothing to worry about! Gotta love all the Aussie (and commonwealth) govts - local, state and the feds looking after us so well and continually inching daily into the privacy of our lives. The cameras are just for our safety and convenience you know, and the govts are absolutely concerned for our future well being and freedoms and are looking after us all. NOT!! Trialing them near roads "so a sort of like a speed camera kind of thing, definately not data collection trialing" .... Just the pricks who rule over us frogs boiling in the pot, turning up the heat just a fraction at a time daily and constantly interfering in our lives. 15 minute cities Australia, surely not?? Coming to a town near you ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming to a town near you ..... They look similar to the new Tassie ones. As I understand, the radar units are within the enclosed area, the cameras on the mast are just to record people wanting to vandalise the trailers..... Interesting, too, the Tassie ones look to only have radars to the rear, nothing on the front, but I must admit to not having had too close a crawl around them for obvious reasons.....

jakroo Posted 12December, 2022 Report Share Posted 12December, 2022 I've seen a few yellow ones around where I live in the Hawkesbury and Hills districts, and I thought they might be looking for improper phone use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbo Posted 12December, 2022 Report Share Posted 12December, 2022 Yes I think they are for mobile phones, spotted one the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_booost Posted 13December, 2022 Report Share Posted 13December, 2022 A guy I know is in charge of the "contractors" that run the current mobile phone detection devices (!) and tells me that: (a) They are rolling out "heaps" more. (b) They are trialling new tech that will enable Seatbelt fines as well as other "interior offences" (also !!!!) to be rolled out shortly. (c) We (as in Australia) are at the forefront of this tech - they have sold off the # plate recognition software to 20+ other countries.... (d) they need those cameras - recently a "camera unit" was destroyed by a stolen ute - that reversed up to one, knocked it over and it was then set alight..... 🤣 GC9911 and LeeM 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
