Is this type of camera used to see who passes through a red light? (England)

I'm fairly sure that your second picture is a speed camera: if it is switched on (most of them aren't at any one time), it automatically takes a picture of any car exceeding the speed limit, and the driver gets a ticket in the post.

The first looks to me like a traffic camera, very similar to normal CCTV. (There is no particular reason for it to be on top of the traffic light, except that it saves the cost and congestion of putting up another pole.) There will be a control room somewhere, and an operator who monitors several banks. These are common on motorways, and not all that rare on dual carriageway junctions such as you show. The Highways Agency say this is to notice accidents and monitor safety rather than to issue traffic tickets; believe what you will.
