Added links to videos for Speed Cameras and Red Light Cameras in NSW

For Victoria I've been able to record and add dashcam videos for red light cameras and speed cameras to the Speed Camera Locations site located at www.SpeedCameraLocations.com.au. For some locations I haven't yet been able to visit, I've been able to find others have already made videos available of their driving which also include the speed camera or red light camera. For example locations in regional Victoria. I hope to eventually get to the rural areas, but at this stage linking to other people's videos enables people to easily access a video of the location and helps promote the effort of the people who have taken and shared their videos on YouTube.

With border lockdowns across Australia it's unlikely I'm going to drive to NSW or SA anytime soon so finding and linking to videos people have shared from NSW and SA is a good option for people interested in red light cameras and speed cameras in those states.

Last night I added quite a few links to videos for locations in NSW. Please keep in mind sometimes the cameras can be on the opposite side of the road, on the corner opposite as the car is taking the turn, and sometimes, it may be visible on the corner of the street the car is driving across. Whilst I personally like to take videos from the driver's perspective as they are driving through the red light camera or speed camera, in the case of videos created by other people this isn't always possible. My feeling however is it is better to have a video of the location than no video at all.

The following is a list of the locations for the red light cameras and speed cameras added yesterday.

Hopefully you'll find these videos to be useful. You can easily view the video by clicking on the marker for the camera location which takes to the detail page. On the detail page for the camera location are links to the dashcam video if available, as well as other links to the location using Google Maps, Google Maps aerial view, Google Maps Street View.

With videos if the video is short, around 30 seconds to a couple of minutes, it is usually of just the section of road. If the video is long the video is started approximately 15 seconds before the camera is visible and continues for as long as your wish to continue watching. You can rewind and fast forward through the video to find what you are looking for.

One additional change I made yesterday is the marker I use on the map for speed camera locations. The marker is a camera. If the camera has a white lens there is no video. If the camera has a red lens a video is available. The following are two examples of the markers with the red and white lenses.
