Product Overview
Built for high-stakes entry and exit monitoring, the iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHS(Y) is a 4MP outdoor ANPR bullet camera engineered to capture and classify vehicle number plates at range. Featuring an 8mm-32mm motorised varifocal lens, it delivers precise framing across single-lane driveways, facility gates, loading bays, and toll-style entry points where plates must be resolved cleanly from 15 to 40 metres away. Equipped with Hikvision DarkFighter technology and 140dB WDR, it maintains usable plate capture in challenging lighting, including direct headlight glare at night. Built with deep learning at its core, this camera goes beyond basic plate reads to detect vehicle type, colour, and brand, and can flag vehicles with no plate fitted. The 26-bit Wiegand output enables direct integration with access control hardware for automated gate or barrier operation. With IP67 weather sealing and IK10 impact resistance, the iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHS(Y) is suited to exposed outdoor installations where the camera will face both the elements and the risk of physical interference.
Key Capabilities
Deep Learning ANPR
On-board licence plate recognition extends to motorcycle plates and vehicles with no plate fitted, while vehicle attribute detection captures type, colour, and brand – delivering structured metadata for access logs and incident review rather than raw video alone.
Motorised 8-32mm Varifocal Lens
The 8-32mm motorised zoom allows installers to frame a single lane or gateway precisely from a distance, producing a narrow, focused field of view that eliminates background clutter and concentrates pixel density on the plate recognition zone.
Wiegand 26-bit Output
The built-in Wiegand 26-bit interface connects directly to access control panels, allowing recognised plates to trigger gate or barrier release without a separate controller or middleware, simplifying installation at staffed and unstaffed entry points.
140dB WDR with DarkFighter
140dB wide dynamic range manages scenes where headlights and deep shadows appear simultaneously, while DarkFighter low-light technology preserves plate legibility after dark without sacrificing colour accuracy or introducing motion blur on moving vehicles.
IP67 and IK10 Rated Housing
Full dust and jet-water ingress protection combined with IK10 impact resistance means this bullet camera can be mounted at exposed gate posts, car park booms, or perimeter walls where weathering and deliberate interference are genuine risks.
H.265+ with 5 Streams and Edge Storage
H.265+ compression cuts bandwidth and NVR storage demand significantly compared to H.264. Five simultaneous streams allow separate feeds for ANPR processing, monitoring, and remote access, while a microSD slot supports up to 256GB of on-camera edge recording.
Best For
- Facility Gate and Boom Gate Entry: The Wiegand 26-bit output connects directly to access control hardware, allowing plate-triggered barrier release at car parks, warehouses, and secure estates.
- Long-Range Plate Capture (15-40m): The 8-32mm motorised varifocal lens tightens the field of view to fill the frame with the approaching vehicle, producing the pixel density required for accurate plate reads at extended distances.
- Nighttime and Backlit Approaches: DarkFighter technology combined with 140dB WDR keeps plates legible when vehicles approach with headlights on, handling the contrast conditions that defeat standard cameras.
- Logistics and Industrial Yard Management: Vehicle attribute detection captures type, colour, and brand alongside plate data, creating richer event records for fleet tracking and delivery verification at loading docks.
- Exposed Outdoor Mounting Positions: IP67 and IK10 ratings make this camera appropriate for gate post and perimeter mounting where the housing will face rain, dust, and the risk of impact.
Why Choose the iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHS(Y)
A standard fixed-lens bullet camera captures video, but the iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHS(Y) generates structured, actionable data. The combination of deep learning ANPR, vehicle attribute detection, and Wiegand 26-bit output means this camera functions as both a surveillance device and an access control input, reducing the number of separate systems an integrator needs to deploy at a gate or entry point. The 8-32mm motorised varifocal lens distinguishes this variant from shorter-range alternatives, allowing precise framing on approaches where a wider lens would dilute plate pixel density below the threshold for reliable recognition. DarkFighter and 140dB WDR handle the headlight and mixed-lighting conditions common at active entry points, day and night. On-board H.265+ compression and a 256GB microSD slot add storage flexibility. Available through Security Wholesalers, this camera is suited to integrators specifying ANPR as a core site requirement rather than an afterthought.
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Range vs. Capture Distance: The 8-32mm variant is optimised for captures at 15-40 metres, making it the right choice for long driveways, facility entrances, and single-lane approaches where the camera is mounted well back from the road. If the capture point is a short-range car park entry or the camera must be positioned close to the lane (5-15 metres), the 2.8-12mm variant of this camera provides a wider field of view better suited to that geometry. Selecting the wrong lens range is the most common ANPR installation error – confirm mounting distance and lane width before ordering.
Wiegand Integration Requirements: The 26-bit Wiegand output allows direct connection to most standard access control panels and gate controllers. Confirm that your access control panel or barrier controller accepts Wiegand 26-bit input before relying on this feature. For sites using proprietary or higher-bit-count protocols, verify compatibility with your access control supplier before specifying this camera as the trigger device.

Ideal Use Cases
Gated Estate and Residential Complex Entry
Long driveways and estate entries suit the 8-32mm focal range, allowing the camera to be positioned well back while still resolving plates clearly. Wiegand output triggers the gate directly from a recognised plate read.
Logistics and Freight Yard Management
Vehicle attribute detection records truck type, colour, and brand alongside plate data, creating automated arrival and departure logs at loading docks without manual check-in processes.
Multi-Storey and Commercial Car Park Entry
Boom gate integration via Wiegand 26-bit output automates access for authorised vehicles. DarkFighter and 140dB WDR maintain plate readability at covered or low-light entry ramps.
Industrial and Manufacturing Site Perimeter
IK10 and IP67 ratings make this camera suitable for exposed mounting on gate posts and perimeter fencing at industrial sites where equipment faces both environmental exposure and physical interference risk.
Toll Booth and Controlled Access Lanes
The narrow field of view at 32mm isolates a single lane with minimal background intrusion, focusing plate capture resources on the target zone and reducing spurious reads from adjacent lanes or passing pedestrians.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your capture point is 15-40 metres from the camera mounting position, you need direct Wiegand access control integration, and your site requires deep learning vehicle attribute data alongside plate recognition.
- Choose a different model if: Your mounting distance is under 10 metres, or you need a wider field of view to cover multiple lanes simultaneously – in those cases a shorter focal length lens variant will produce better plate pixel density at close range. If ANPR is not a site requirement and general surveillance is the primary goal, a standard 4MP bullet camera without ANPR processing will be more cost-effective.
FAQs
- What is the effective plate capture range for the 8-32mm lens variant?
At maximum zoom (32mm), the camera produces a narrow 15.1-degree horizontal field of view that concentrates pixel density on a tight zone, making it well suited to capturing plates at distances of approximately 15 to 40 metres. Beyond that range, plate legibility depends on vehicle speed, angle of approach, and lighting conditions. For closer installations under 10 metres, the narrower field of view at 32mm will overfill the frame with a partial vehicle image rather than capturing the full plate and vehicle front.
- How does the Wiegand 26-bit output work with a gate or barrier controller?
When the camera recognises a plate that matches an authorised entry in its database, it outputs a Wiegand 26-bit signal directly to the connected access control panel or gate controller. This triggers the barrier or gate to open without requiring a separate controller or NVR to act as an intermediary. The access control panel must be configured to accept Wiegand 26-bit input, which is a widely supported standard across most commercial panels and barrier controllers.
- Does this camera detect vehicles that do not have a number plate?
Yes. The deep learning engine in the iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHS(Y) includes detection of vehicles with no plate fitted. This allows operators to flag or deny access to unregistered or obscured vehicles at controlled entry points, rather than simply passing over any vehicle that does not return a plate read.
- How does 140dB WDR help with headlight and night-time capture?
At night, approaching vehicles present a high-contrast scene where headlights are extremely bright and the plate sits in a darker zone. Standard cameras blown out by headlight glare lose plate detail entirely. The 140dB WDR capability of the iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHS(Y) compresses the dynamic range across the full scene, preserving plate character legibility even when direct headlight glare is present in the same frame.
- What vehicle attributes does the deep learning detection capture?
Beyond licence plate characters, the camera can detect and record vehicle type (such as sedan, SUV, truck, or motorcycle), vehicle colour, and vehicle brand. This metadata is stored alongside each plate read event, enabling operators to filter records by vehicle description and verify that the detected plate matches the expected vehicle type at a given entry point.
- What local storage does this camera support, and why would I use it?
The camera includes a microSD slot supporting cards up to 256GB. Edge storage is useful as a redundancy buffer if the network connection to the NVR is interrupted, ensuring ANPR events and plate images are captured locally and can be retrieved after the connection is restored. It is not a replacement for centralised NVR storage but provides a meaningful safety net for mission-critical entry point recording.
- Where can I find the datasheet and installation guide for this camera?
The datasheet and Hikvision ANPR installation guide are linked in the Additional Information section below. Security Wholesalers also provides access to these documents for installers specifying this camera for access control or ANPR projects. Reviewing the installation guide before deployment is recommended, as ANPR cameras require specific mounting angle, height, and lane geometry to achieve rated recognition performance.
