No they are not working , because these cameras are the same as the other cameras next to the traffic light . so i think it is a network . working together stopping together ( Power wise )
and if the camera is working , the data transfer , will not work ( if they have a data transfer network )

I do not know , but that is how i see it

radars...I guess it must be due to the voltage.

Street lights require an high voltage...if the voltage drops under a certain limit they switch off....but the cameras require less voltage to function.

I guess there is no "data transfer network" the camera pictures are captured on to flash memory .....which are swapped.

UPS, uninterruptible power supply??? it maybe installed or not installed, working like a battery...and for the network, i think it is done manually, retrieving all the data, in this case the films, in the following day.
