A much more helpful use of cameras would be to catch those drivers who

pedestrians walk around them whilst they wait for the next green phase.

The first step would have to be to make it illegal to stop there ie
implie there is a yellow box at all ped crossings

It's not just queuing traffic that's the problem, many drivers, having
crossed a stop line in slow traffic, see the light on the opposite side of
the junction go red and stop, obstructing pedestrians trying to cross at the
lights.
