It will produce three digital stills plus video capture using the 4th lens. These enable it to patrol up to four lanes of traffic at a time - current camera systems can only monitor part of a wide carriageway.
The new Multi-Camera System (MCS) can also be used at box junctions and traffic lights. There will be no disputes as to who was behind the wheel, as it has an infra-red flash, which means it can be forward facing to take pictures of drivers' faces.
The MCS is made by Dutch firm Gatsometer (maker of current Gatso). The hi-tech new machine can hold up to 60,000 images of speeders on its encrypted hard drive, while the photos can be downloaded any time via a phone link. This, plus the fact it comes with defence spikes to deter vandals, means the MCS is almost maintenance-free - something which will appeal to safety camera partnerships.
