We do have CCTV, which also switches to IR at night. The big problem I see
with that though is having to analyse the film continuously to determine
whether each vehicle is speeding or not. The advantage I saw of the
frame-grab method would be the analysis of "speeding/not
speeding" would have already occurred and the was only (!) the tasks
of sorting through each of the captures images and recording registration
numbers & details.

Thanks for the thoughts though :-)
