Red Light Camera?

No Judgement Please!
I did something really stupid the other day!
I'm usually a very vigilant and considerate driver. But I was in deep thought and accidentally went through a red light.
Luckily there were no pedestrians.
But I hold my hands up and admit to the mistake and it was really silly of me.
I've gone through every website trying to see if the lights had red light cameras.
I'm so nervous waiting for the dreaded post to come and really don't want to have to admit it to my partner. It's so silly of me, but if I do get the letter in the post I'll obviously admit to it, but will I be offered a traffic awareness course - like the 'what's driving us' course instead of having the points on my license?
Can anyone shed any light on the matter please?
Do these look like red light cameras?
TIA (from one very anxious mummy -even more so than normal) x

They look like traffic flow and cctv cameras not speeding cameras to me.

I did similar in Leicester 10years ago. Didn't know I'd done it. It was on a complex gyratory system and I can only assume I checked the light, green, and then turned my attention to the next set of lights and being in the right lane.

I was offered a driver improvement course.

At least on other person was caught in the same place but in their case they knew they'd shot the red but reared being tail ended if they stopped!!

Edit to add, I'm not sure those are even cameras, they loook more like the sensors some lights have to identify traffic so as to adjust sequencing.
