Hey Guys,
Just a quick question here. Basically I was driving home from town this evening at around 10:30pm and I was approaching a set of traffic lights that had just hit amber, I thought that I had loads of time to get through so proceeded as usual and as I passed I saw the red light pop up, I am beginning to doubt in my mind whether or not I passed on amber or just as the light went red. I know it wasnt the best move in the world and the worry of points has certainly shaken me up since I have only been driving for 6 months.
I did not see a flash of any sort. My question is, what do the red light cameras look like (cameras to catch red light jumpers). Here are some screenshots of the crossing in question:
I know the black cameras on the lights are sensors but there was a white camera atop of a big post right next to the lights, now this looks to me to be facing well down the road so cant be a red light camera but I am still unsure, do any of you guys know what this camera is for?
I know this is a stupid thing to worry about but I do!
Cheers in advance

Just looks like CCTV to monitor what's going on.
Ones I've seen look like this, sometimes yellow

As Brett has said, thats what they look like around here. Don't really see them tbh, everyone seems to jump lights here. Always look across before I go on green just incase.

You'll be fine. If you didn't see a flash you'll be doubley fine. I did EXACTLY the same thing last night 
The tall camera is a CCTV camera

As said talk camera is CCTV far to high for monitoring the traffic at the light. They look like speeding cameras and would of seen the flash, don't worry hour self over it
