(a) an analogue speed camera system;

(b) a digital speed camera system;

(c) a digital combined redlight and speed camera system, to the extent it is used to provide evidence of a speeding offence;

(b) prepare and sign a report stating—

(i) the serial number for the device tested; and

(ii) the date and time when testing was conducted; and
