ANPR Cameras

An ANPR camera captures a vehicle registration plate and turns it into text that a system can check and log. The Hikvision iDS-2CD7A46G0-IZHSY runs licence-plate recognition on board, alongside vehicle attribute detection and vehicle counting. Car parks, gated entrances and roadside checkpoints use the result to record traffic or to let known vehicles through.

Yes. ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) and LPR (licence plate recognition) describe the same job, and Hikvision uses both names in its descriptions of cameras such as the iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHSY. Either term means a camera that captures the plate and returns it as text for a recorder, barrier controller or management system to act on.

Match the lens to the distance between the camera and the plate. A 2.8-12 mm lens, as on the iDS-TCM403-BI, suits a barrier or gate where vehicles stop close by; the 8-32 mm IDS-TCM403-BI-0832 reads further along an approach. For long-range checkpoints, the iDS-2CD7A45G0/P-IZHSY has a 25× 4.7–118 mm lens. Motorised lenses let you set zoom and focus remotely while commissioning.

Yes, with infrared or supplement lighting sized to the distance. Hikvision lists the 8-32 mm iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHSY with smart IR to about 100 m and DarkFighter low-light imaging, and the iDS-2CD7A45G0/P-IZHSY with smart IR to about 200 m. The DS-TMC403-E capture units use 9 LED supplement lights with time and brightness control.

It is an all-in-one ANPR camera built for barrier lanes. The Hikvision DS-TMC403-E units combine a 4 MP camera, a 3.1-6mm lens and 9 LED supplement lights in one housing with allowlist and blocklist control, and the DS-TMC403-E/WG/3106 integrates with barrier gates. Hikvision states a capture rate above 99.9% and says the all-in-one structure reduces installation time.

Yes, when it is connected to the barrier controller or access system. Hikvision describes the iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHSY with RS-485, alarm I/O and optional Wiegand interfaces for access-control integration, and the DS-TMC403-E/WG/3106 capture unit integrates with barrier gates through allow and block lists, so a plate on the allow list can release the barrier.

The DeepinView bullets take Power over Ethernet or a local supply. The iDS-2CD7A46G0-IZHSY lists PoE to IEEE 802.3at or 12 VDC, and the iDS-2CD7A45G0/P-IZHSY adds a 24 VAC option alongside PoE+. PoE carries power and data on one network cable, so a single run from a PoE switch or recorder can serve the camera.

Hikvision quotes a recognition rate of 98% or better for the iDS-2CD7A26G0/P-IZHSY and a capture rate above 99.9% for the DS-TMC403-E units. Real results depend on the angle to the plate, the lens setting and the lighting, and Hikvision recommends professional installation and alignment for ANPR reliability on critical sites.

Yes, several DeepinView models take a microSD card. Hikvision lists microSD support of 1 TB on the iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHSY, while the 8-32 mm iDS-2CD7A46G0-IZHSY description gives 256 GB. The iDS-2CD7A45G0/P-IZHSY notes advise checking microSD compatibility and firmware against the supplied unit before relying on card recording.
