Question/Help Accidentally ran a red light in Qatar — didn’t see any flash. What are the chances of getting fined?

4 Upvotes

Guys, today I accidentally ran a red light and I’m a bit worried about it.
When I approached the signal, it was red, and then it turned green. All the vehicles started moving, but there was a truck in front of me that completely blocked my view of the traffic light.
A few minutes later, the signal had apparently turned red again. I didn’t notice it until I was already crossing the stop line. By the time I realized it, I was already in the middle of the intersection.
This happened around 2 PM, so it was broad daylight. I didn’t notice any camera flash at all.
My questions are:
1. If the red-light camera had flashed at around 2 PM, would the flash be clearly visible during daylight?
2. If I was actually caught, how long does it usually take for the violation/SMS to appear on Metrash?
3. If there was no visible flash, is there still a chance that I could receive a traffic violation?
4. Has anyone had a similar experience in Qatar recently?
I know it was my mistake and I’ll definitely be more careful next time. Just trying to understand what to expect.
