mounted in such a position that vehicles in relation to which relevant road traffic contraventions are being committed can be surveyed by it,
(c)
connected by secure data links to a recording system, and

The device must include a recording system in which—

recordings are made automatically of the output from the camera or cameras surveying the vehicle and the place where a contravention is occurring,
(b)
there is used a secure and reliable recording method that records at a minimum rate of 5 frames per second,
(c)
each frame of all captured images is timed (in hours, minutes and seconds), dated and sequentially numbered automatically by means of a visual counter, and

where the device does not occupy a fixed location, it records the location from which it is being operated.
3.
The device and visual counter must—
