It take a snap shot of your license plate number, and model of your car, when you failed to yield for the stop light while on red, or take off while the light still on red. All this informations has been coded into the camera as a computer analysis, if you will.

Why can't the photo be contested? How can anyone cross-examine (face your accuser) a photo? Suppose the camera is not set up properly? Maybe you have a twin brother or sister? Like a traffic ticket, the photo seems to be prima facie evidence, it can be rebuted.
You just said it , "prima facie evidence" that is what it is. If your license plate is not taking, then you have a chance to rebuttal it.
For instance, when you have a bag full of gold recorded in the camera while you count it , it's hard to confuse the jury or hearing officer that you find it empty.
