Do red light camera tickets go on a driving record?

My city just installed red-light cameras. I’m not used to them, and apparently, I didn’t stop all the way before I made a right-hand turn at a light. While they have definitive proof that I committed an offense, I want to know what will happen to my car insurance. Will a red light camera ticket go on my driving record?
