Strange little cameras on gantries above the roads.

I've noticed recently that some odd looking cameras have started
popping up on gantries around london. I've seen them on the A406, A12
and A13 so far. They/re quite small, round and theres usually 4 or 5
of them mounted horizontally on a bar across the carraigeway. Are
these some sort of number plate recognition system?

Number plate and face recognition according to the press. A more
permanent version of the slew of unmarked white vans with things on
tripods on over bridges during the party conference season I guess.

There are a set on the M20 which appear to coincide with a set of painted
speed camera markings on the road surface - although I don't know the road
well, so it's entirely possible those relate to an older camera. But
presumably, the new cameras could double up as speed detectors?
