1. A red light traffic violation recording and processing system, comprising:

  • at least one camera for monitoring a region under surveillance;

    means for supplying independently sourced and verifiable time, date and location data to provide an indication of the time, date and location of a violation;

    a storing means for continuously storing images taken by the at least one camera;

    a non-intrusive violation detection means for detecting vehicle presence and movement through the region and for providing an indication of a violation in a violation period;

    processing means for identifying images stored in the storage means and which relate to a violation detected by the violation detection means so that images associated with a violation are identifiable and can be processed to provide evidence of the violation and also identify the vehicle associated with the violation; and

    processing means for processing images captured by a camera to identify changes in the colour of the traffic signals to thereby make a determination of the commencement and end of a red light traffic phase and therefore define the violation period.
