Product Overview
Built for short-range vehicle entry monitoring, the DHI-ITC215-PW6M-IRLZF-B is a 2MP full HD ANPR bullet camera designed to capture and analyse licence plates at distances of up to 8 metres. This makes it well suited to boom gate installations, residential driveway entries, car park access lanes, and controlled entry points where precise plate capture at close range is the primary requirement. Featuring a 2.7mm to 13.5mm motorised varifocal lens, the camera can be adjusted remotely to frame the capture zone accurately without physical repositioning. It incorporates a built-in IR LED illuminator for consistent plate capture around the clock and carries an IP67 weatherproof rating for outdoor installation. Beyond standard plate recognition, Dahua’s deep learning engine also identifies vehicle attributes including model, logo, series, and colour. Signal and data interfaces support direct connection to external devices such as boom barriers, enabling integrated access control workflows.
Key Capabilities
ANPR at Up to 8 Metres
The camera is rated for accurate licence plate recognition at distances of up to 8 metres, making it the right tool for close-range entry lane and driveway capture where vehicles approach at low speed and stop at a defined point.
Deep Learning Vehicle Attribute Recognition
Beyond plate capture, the built-in deep learning processor identifies vehicle model, logo, series, and colour. It also recognises vehicles without visible plates, giving operators richer data for access logs and incident investigation.
Motorised Varifocal Lens
The 2.7mm to 13.5mm motorised lens allows the capture zone to be precisely framed during commissioning without physically adjusting the camera body. This simplifies installation in tight access lane configurations where repositioning is difficult.
Built-in IR LED Illuminator
An integrated IR illuminator provides consistent lighting for plate capture in low-light and after-hours conditions. The self-contained design removes the need for external IR floodlights, keeping the installation compact and reducing cabling complexity.
Barrier and Device Integration
Multiple signal and data interfaces allow the camera to connect directly to external devices such as boom barriers and access control hardware. This enables the camera to act as a trigger point in an automated vehicle access workflow rather than functioning as a passive recorder only.
Best For
- Boom Gate and Barrier Trigger Installations: Signal interface support allows direct connection to barrier controllers, enabling automated gate triggering based on plate recognition events.
- Residential and Commercial Driveway Entry: The 8-metre ANPR range suits single-lane driveways and private access roads where vehicles stop or slow at a defined point within close range of the camera.
- Car Park Entry and Exit Lanes: Consistent plate capture with motorised lens adjustment makes this suitable for car park ticketing or access log systems at entry and exit boom points.
- 24/7 Outdoor Monitoring with Vehicle Attribute Logging: Deep learning vehicle attribute recognition supplements plate data for sites that need to log vehicle type, colour, and brand alongside plate numbers in access records.
Why Choose the DHI-ITC215-PW6M-IRLZF-B
Standard bullet cameras capture video footage of vehicles, but the DHI-ITC215-PW6M-IRLZF-B is purpose-engineered for licence plate data extraction rather than general scene recording. The combination of a high-performance CMOS sensor, dedicated ANPR processor, and deep learning engine means the camera actively analyses each vehicle and returns structured data including plate number, vehicle model, logo, series, and colour. The motorised varifocal lens reduces commissioning time in access lane environments where physical camera adjustment is impractical. With PoE+ power delivery, IP67 weatherproofing, and direct barrier integration via signal interfaces, the camera suits installations that require a self-contained ANPR node with minimal external infrastructure. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DHI-ITC215-PW6M-IRLZF-B is suited to integrators building automated vehicle access systems for residential estates, commercial car parks, and secured facility entry points.
Buyer Decision Tips
Confirm your maximum capture distance before specifying this model: The DHI-ITC215-PW6M-IRLZF-B is rated for ANPR capture at up to 8 metres. If your entry lane requires plate recognition beyond this distance, such as a fast-moving approach road or a larger car park where vehicles cannot be guaranteed to slow within 8 metres, this model will not reliably deliver plate data. For short, controlled approach points with slow-moving or stationary vehicles this range is appropriate.
Account for lens angle and plate presentation when positioning the camera: ANPR accuracy depends not only on distance but on the camera angle relative to the number plate. A direct, near-perpendicular view of the plate within the 8-metre range is required for reliable character extraction. Mounting position, vehicle approach angle, and the lane width all affect how precisely the motorised lens can be set up at commissioning. Test plate capture with the actual vehicle types used at the site before finalising the mount position.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Estate Entry Gates
At gated residential estates with a single controlled access lane, the 8-metre ANPR range covers the approach to the boom gate, and direct signal interfaces allow the camera to trigger barrier opening for authorised plates automatically.
Commercial Car Park Entry and Exit Points
Car parks with ticketed or permit-based entry benefit from accurate plate logging at boom gate approach points. The deep learning processor logs plate data alongside vehicle attributes for each entry and exit event.
Secured Facility and Warehouse Access Lanes
Industrial facilities with vehicle access control can use the camera to log and verify delivery or staff vehicles at controlled entry points, with the motorised lens allowing precise framing of the lane even where mounting options are limited.
After-Hours Vehicle Monitoring
The built-in IR LED illuminator enables plate capture and vehicle attribute recognition in low-light and after-dark conditions without requiring supplementary lighting infrastructure at the entry point.
Drive-Through and Service Lane Monitoring
Service and drive-through lanes with defined stop zones within 8 metres of the camera mount benefit from the motorised varifocal lens, which can be adjusted during commissioning to frame the exact plate presentation area of each lane.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your application involves short-range ANPR at a controlled access lane, boom gate, or driveway entry where vehicles approach within 8 metres and you require structured vehicle data including plate number and vehicle attributes such as model, logo, and colour.
- Choose a different model if: Your site requires ANPR capture beyond 8 metres, such as a fast-moving road approach, a multi-lane car park entry, or a long driveway where vehicles do not consistently slow to within the rated range. In those scenarios a longer-range ANPR bullet camera with a higher focal length range would be more appropriate.
- Choose a different model if: Your application does not require ANPR functionality and you only need general outdoor surveillance coverage. A standard IP bullet camera at equivalent resolution would be a more cost-effective choice for non-ANPR monitoring roles.
FAQs
- What is the maximum reliable ANPR distance for the DHI-ITC215-PW6M-IRLZF-B?
The camera is rated for ANPR plate capture at up to 8 metres. This distance assumes a controlled approach, a near-perpendicular view of the plate, and appropriate lens adjustment at commissioning. Beyond 8 metres, plate character extraction becomes unreliable and this model should not be specified for longer approaches.
- Does the camera recognise vehicle information beyond the licence plate?
Yes. The deep learning processor also identifies vehicle model, logo, series, and colour. It can also flag vehicles that do not display a licence plate. This additional attribute data is recorded alongside plate capture events and can be used for access logs and incident review.
- Can this camera trigger a boom gate or barrier directly?
The DHI-ITC215-PW6M-IRLZF-B includes signal, data, and communication interfaces that support direct connection to external devices including boom barriers. This allows the camera to act as an access trigger node when integrated with compatible barrier control hardware, removing the need for a separate trigger device at the entry point.
- What lens range does the motorised varifocal cover, and how does that help with installation?
The lens covers 2.7mm to 13.5mm and is motorised, meaning the focal length and focus can be adjusted remotely during commissioning. In access lane and driveway installations where the camera mount position is fixed by the available structure, this allows the capture zone to be precisely framed without physically repositioning the camera body.
- What power supply does this camera require?
The DHI-ITC215-PW6M-IRLZF-B is powered via PoE+. A PoE+ capable switch or injector is required at the installation. Standard PoE (802.3af) may not supply sufficient power and PoE+ (802.3at) should be confirmed at the network infrastructure level before installation.
- Is the camera suitable for outdoor installation in Australian conditions?
The camera carries an IP67 rating, confirming it is protected against dust ingress and temporary water immersion. It is suitable for outdoor mounting at entry points exposed to rain and weather. The integrated design also features low power consumption, which reduces heat-related performance concerns in exposed outdoor enclosures.
