Malcom,
I believe our portable car mounted cameras are capable of picking up the
car even at those speeds. 140 mph =66m or 200ft/sec.
Response time for camera system is 0.3 secs = 60 ft or 19.8m ! Well within
the optimum optical range of the camera!
Cheers
Feral Errol

Yes but if you drive through a speed camera mounted on a pole,at speed
over 140Mph by the time it's gone off your gone and it's missed.
