Red light camera

So, today, less than a week after passing my test, I stupidly went through a red light while mistakenly thinking I didn't have time to stop for it.

There was 100% a red light camera on the opposite side of the road and the light was defiantly red as I crossed the line, albeit only about half a second or so after the light went red.

My question is; can the camera catch you on the opposite side of the road? and how does this all work?

I believe the cameras only monitor one set of lights each, so most often there is a set in either direction. There should be a camera sign on the approach if the lights you went through are enforced.
