Maybe they want to establish what type of traffic, e.g. cars, lorries, motor bikes, push bikes, foot traffic...

Me too!

These cameras are concentrated on lamp posts junction of Crystal Palace Rd. and Whateley Rd.

They go past Ulverscroft Rd but not on Ulverscroft and stop before Fellbrigg Rd.

But they are on every lamp post in that area. They point at an angle down to kerbside.

So not for traffic count. Probably to do with Parking..

.. So what comes next ? Does not bode well..

There are twin cables across Crystal Palace Road near Rodwell Road and cameras on posts outside DMC

It's just a camera, attached to a battery, recording to a hard disk and very similar to ones used to record traffic data in the past, but if you really want to know for sure, just ring the council.

If that were the case. a single camera would do.. why on every lamp post both sides of the road.

Tha's how they always do it - cameras on both sides. You find permanent ones on some junctions. They just measure traffic - those are usually TFL ones.

Just to add that ANPR and speed cameras etc, always have twin lens as well.

Wot !

No spy cameras ?

They're transmitters disguised as cameras. One for each hemisphere of your brain. Beaming subconscious thoughts from our lizard overlords. They need to keep us cattle docile by divide and conquer - if you don't immediately start wearing a heavy-bottomed pan* on your head when you're near them, you'll be susceptible to ideas like "outsiders are bad"; "People from other neighbourhoods are a threat to your lifestyle"; "Your territory is being invaded and changed for the worse". You will develop irrational phobias - of random things, like estate agents, or croissants.

Be vigilant!

*p.s. I recommend Le Creuset. If you are instinctively horrified, I'm afraid it's already too late.

That's no fun. I want to speculate about an elaborate conspiracy.
