Will Traffic Violations Definitely Be Captured Where There Are Cameras?

Traffic violations are not necessarily captured where there are cameras. Below is an introduction to how cameras capture violations: Working Principle: Electronic eyes use induction loops to detect the pressure from vehicles on the road, collect signals through sensors, and send them to the central processor for temporary storage in registers. If two pulse signals are generated simultaneously within the same time interval, they are considered "valid." Photographing Process: When the yellow light is on, the photographing system starts with a 2-second delay. When the red light is on, the system is already active. The system shuts down 2 seconds before the green light turns on, mainly to prevent false captures.
I once saw a camera flash when I was speeding in the city, but I waited for months without receiving a ticket. Later, chatting with friends, I learned that many cameras are just for show or poorly maintained, resulting in blurry images during rain or at night that can't be clearly captured. Experienced drivers told me that electronic eyes are prone to malfunctions, with low capture rates due to aging components or incorrect settings. This is especially common in remote areas, as law enforcement isn’t always monitoring them closely. However, this doesn’t mean you can recklessly violate traffic rules—getting caught could mean hefty fines and points on your license. I recommend making it a habit to follow traffic rules for peace of mind. From a cost perspective, maintaining cameras is expensive, but smaller cities with limited budgets face higher chances of malfunctions. Always prioritize safety—don’t gamble by taking risks on the road.
