iDS-2CD7A46G2/P-IZHS 8-32mm ANPR

The medium-range ANPR licence-plate camera

The Hikvision iDS-2CD7A46G2/P-IZHS 8-32mm is the medium-range Automatic Number Plate Recognition camera in the current Hikvision ANPR range. 4MP sensor specifically tuned for plate capture (different optical and electronic characteristics from general-purpose cameras), motorised 8-32mm varifocal lens for precise framing of the plate-capture zone, 100m IR illumination for night-time coverage, and 140dB WDR for handling the extreme contrast at vehicle entry points (bright sun on shiny number plates against shadowed faces).

The right call for estate boom gates, complex access points, business car parks, and industrial yards where plates need to be read in real time, logged automatically, and used for whitelist-driven gate control. Different category from the longer-range 6-132mm long-range version: this 8-32mm is sized for the standard residential and small-commercial gate-distance application.

What this camera is actually good at

• 4MP ANPR-tuned image sensor. Optical and electronic characteristics specifically calibrated for licence-plate capture.
• Onboard ANPR processing. Reads plate text in real time, no server-side processing required.
• Motorised 8-32mm varifocal lens. Adjusts to suit the specific gate geometry.
• 100m IR illumination for night-time plate readability.
• 140dB WDR for handling extreme contrast at vehicle entry points.
• Embedded vehicle whitelist and blacklist support.
• Alarm and gate-control I/O for direct integration with boom barriers.
• IP67 weather-sealed housing.

Where this camera belongs

• Estate boom gates with whitelisted resident-vehicle access
• Complex and cluster access points requiring vehicle logging
• Business car parks with permitted-vehicle access control
• Industrial yards with delivery and contractor vehicle logging

ANPR is a specialist installation

ANPR cameras need specific positioning relative to the boom or gate (typically 4 to 6 metres in front of the boom, at 15 to 30 degrees to the lane), specific mounting heights, and careful calibration of focal length, focus, and exposure. We have done dozens of these installations across estates and complexes in the Pretoria and Johannesburg metros.

If you want different range

• The iDS-2CD7A46G2/P-IZHSY 6-132mm is the long-range version (200m IR) for industrial yards and large estate access points.
• The iDS-2CD7A46G2/P-IZHS 2.8-12mm is the wider-range varifocal alternative.
• The iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHS is the previous-generation ANPR alternative.
