Product Overview
Built specifically for vehicle identification at controlled entry points, the ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050 is a 2 Megapixel Full HD ANPR camera with a 10-50mm motorised lens and onboard AI intelligence capable of capturing number plates at speeds up to 40km/hr. Equipped with a 1/1.8-inch GS-CMOS sensor and 96dB wide dynamic range, it produces sharp plate images even against strong backlighting common at gated driveways, boom gate lanes, and car park entry points. Featuring 6 IR illuminators with adjustable brightness and a maximum illumination distance of 25 metres, the camera maintains consistent capture performance across day and night cycles. It integrates 2-channel relay outputs for direct barrier or gate control, RS-485 connectivity, and a built-in TF card slot for local storage up to 64GB. This makes it well suited to commercial facilities, industrial estates, and access-controlled sites where automated vehicle processing and verifiable plate records are operational requirements.
Key Capabilities
AI Number Plate Recognition
Onboard AI achieves a vehicle capture rate of 99% or higher and a vehicle recognition rate of 90% or higher. The camera identifies plate number, plate colour, vehicle type, vehicle logo, vehicle colour, and vehicles without plates, delivering structured data for access control and audit purposes.
10-50mm Motorised Zoom Lens
The 10-50mm motorised lens allows installers to frame the capture zone precisely from a fixed mounting position, covering a wide range of lane widths and distances without physical adjustment. Auto iris (W:1.3 to T:2.3) adapts to changing light conditions throughout the day.
96dB Wide Dynamic Range
A 96dB WDR rating handles the extreme contrast between sunlit backgrounds and vehicle fronts or rears at boom gate approaches. This reduces blown-out or underexposed plate images caused by direct sunlight, headlights, or bright canopy lighting at entry stations.
Relay Output for Barrier Integration
Two relay output channels allow the camera to directly trigger barrier gates, boom arms, or electric locks upon successful plate recognition. Combined with 1 alarm input and 2 optocoupler I/O ports, this supports complete lane automation without a separate controller.
OSD Data Overlay
Captured frames can be overlaid with time, lane number and direction, plate number and colour, vehicle speed, vehicle colour, and vehicle type. This embeds critical transaction data directly into the image, simplifying audit trails and reducing the need for separate data logging middleware.
Flexible Power and Local Storage
Accepts 12V DC, 24V AC, or PoE, giving installers flexibility across new and retrofit installations. A built-in TF card slot supports up to 64GB of local storage with ANR (Automatic Network Replenishment) to recover footage if the network connection drops temporarily.
Best For
- Boom Gate and Barrier Lane Control: The 2-channel relay output connects directly to barrier arms, allowing the camera to trigger gate opening upon recognised plate capture without a separate access controller.
- Car Park Entry and Exit Monitoring: The motorised 10-50mm lens frames individual entry lanes precisely, while the 96dB WDR handles the lighting contrast common at undercover or partially covered car park approaches.
- Industrial Estate and Gated Facility Access: Vehicle capture rates of 99% or higher and onboard vehicle metadata recording make this suitable for sites that need a verifiable log of every vehicle entering or exiting.
- Low-Light and Night-Time Lane Monitoring: Six IR illuminators with adjustable brightness provide consistent plate illumination up to 25 metres, maintaining recognition performance after dark without additional external lighting.
Why Choose the ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050
Standard IP cameras cannot reliably identify number plates in variable lighting or at speed. The ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050 is purpose-engineered for ANPR, combining a GS-CMOS sensor, 96dB WDR, and dedicated AI processing to achieve a vehicle capture rate of 99% or higher at speeds up to 40km/hr. Unlike a general surveillance bullet camera, this model outputs structured vehicle metadata including plate number, plate colour, vehicle type, logo, and speed as an OSD overlay embedded directly into each captured image. The integrated 2-channel relay output removes the need for a separate access controller in many single-lane applications, and the 10-50mm motorised lens makes precise lane framing straightforward from a fixed mounting point. Available through Security Wholesalers, the ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050 is a practical choice for operators who need verifiable, AI-attributed vehicle records rather than general-purpose video footage.
Buyer Decision Tips
Speed Limitation: This camera is rated for ANPR at vehicle speeds up to 40km/hr, which covers controlled-access lanes, boom gate approaches, car park entries, and internal estate roads. It is not suited to open-road or freeway monitoring where vehicles pass at highway speeds. Confirm the maximum expected approach speed at your site before specifying this unit.
Lens Framing and Mounting Distance: The 10-50mm motorised lens provides significant flexibility, but the 25-metre IR illumination range is the practical ceiling for reliable plate capture in darkness. Plan your mounting position so the capture zone falls within this range. For wider lanes requiring simultaneous capture of multiple vehicles side by side, a second unit or a different camera configuration may be necessary.

Ideal Use Cases
Boom Gate Lanes
The 2-channel relay output connects directly to boom gate controllers, allowing the ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050 to trigger the gate open upon a verified plate capture. Combined with the motorised lens, a single camera can manage a controlled entry or exit lane end to end.
Multi-Level Car Parks
Mounted at entry and exit ramps, the 96dB WDR handles the contrast between underground darkness and outdoor daylight. Onboard OSD overlays log each vehicle’s plate, colour, and type directly onto the captured image for site management and dispute resolution.
Industrial Estate and Warehouse Access
At gated industrial sites, the camera’s vehicle recognition captures delivery vehicle types and logos alongside plates, building a structured log of every vehicle entering the property. ANR ensures records are not lost if the network connection drops during shifts.
Residential Estate Security Gates
For gated residential communities with entry speeds typically well below 40km/hr, the ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050 provides automated plate-based access logging. The 25-metre IR range supports reliable night-time capture at unmanned gate points without additional lighting infrastructure.
Logistics and Fleet Yard Management
Detecting vehicles without plates is a confirmed capability of this camera, making it useful at freight yards and depots where unregistered or interstate vehicles may not conform to expected plate standards. Vehicle metadata is embedded in JPEG captures for record-keeping.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your site has a single controlled lane where vehicles approach at up to 40km/hr, you need direct barrier or gate relay output, and you require onboard AI plate and vehicle recognition without a separate analytics server.
- Choose a different model if: Vehicles pass at speeds above 40km/hr, such as on public roads or fast-moving driveways, as a higher-specification ANPR camera rated for greater capture speeds would be more appropriate. If you only need general-purpose outdoor surveillance without plate recognition, a standard IP bullet camera would be a more cost-effective fit.
FAQs
- What is the maximum vehicle speed this camera can recognise number plates at?
The ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050 is rated for plate capture at speeds up to 40km/hr. This covers the approach speeds typical of boom gate lanes, car park entries, estate driveways, and internal industrial roads. It is not designed for open-road or freeway applications where vehicles exceed this speed.
- Can this camera directly control a boom gate or barrier arm?
Yes. The camera includes 2-channel relay outputs specifically designed for connection to barrier gates and boom arms. When combined with the onboard plate recognition, this allows a single-lane installation to operate with automated gate triggering without requiring a separate access control panel or third-party controller.
- What vehicle attributes does the AI recognise beyond the number plate?
Beyond plate number and plate colour, the onboard AI identifies vehicle type, vehicle logo (make), vehicle colour, and detects vehicles without visible plates. The vehicle recognition rate is confirmed at 90% or higher, and all attributes can be overlaid as OSD text on each captured frame.
- How does the 96dB WDR improve plate capture at entry points?
Entry lanes often present extreme contrast, such as bright sunlight behind a vehicle combined with shadow on its front. Without wide dynamic range, the plate would appear washed out or too dark to read. The 96dB WDR sensor processes both bright and dark areas of the scene simultaneously, keeping plate characters legible under these challenging conditions.
- Does the camera store footage locally if the network goes down?
Yes. The built-in TF card slot supports cards up to 64GB from Kingston, Dahua, and SanDisk. The camera also supports ANR (Automatic Network Replenishment), which means footage captured and saved to the local card during a network outage is automatically uploaded to the platform or FTP server once connectivity is restored.
- What power options does this camera support?
The ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050 accepts 12V DC, 24V AC, and PoE, providing flexibility for both new installations running Cat6 from a PoE switch and retrofit installations using existing coaxial or low-voltage power runs. Maximum power consumption is under 20W.
- Is this camera suitable for outdoor installation in Australian conditions?
Yes. The camera carries an IP67 ingress protection rating, sealing it against dust and water immersion, and has a confirmed operating temperature range of -30°C to +65°C. These specifications suit Australian outdoor environments including hot summer conditions and wet weather exposure. The ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050 is part of the Security Wholesalers range of Dahua ANPR cameras stocked for the Australian market.
