I've got a question about Red Light cameras, if one of you kind experts could help.
I was driving on Cheetham Hill Road, Manchester turning right onto Queen's Road. It's quite a complicated road layout and there were no vehicles behind me.
In the image you can see where I was (behind the stop line) where the emoji is, but facing the correct way

I thought the lights had turned green but I'm doubting myself now.
I stopped in the middle whilst waiting for the oncoming traffic (as shown in the image) to pass and then proceeded right into the indicated lane when safe. But that got me thinking – I don't think the road works like that and maybe, somehow, in the glaring sunlight, the light wasn't green.
Now I'm worried. There's a red light camera there and I'm hoping I've not committed an offence.
According to the Speed Camera UK website, this is the camera:
Speed Camera: Traffic Light Camera
Nearest Town/Village: Cheetham Hill
Road Name: Queens Road
Direction of enforcement: Westbound
Speed Limit: 30mph
Camera reference number: NWGM116
What does this mean in practice? From the Google Street View image above, would that have captured me? Because the camera is facing towards the junction and I doubt would even 'see' the traffic lights I was at. But I've read online that some cameras now have strips under the road so maybe a photograph of the traffic lights is unnecessary?
I don't know if my direction oft travel was Westbound? The Google Maps compass is useless.
Can anybody please advise?
Here are the other angles:
