Product SKU: PNO-9080R-1
Product Overview
Purpose-built for entry and exit point monitoring, the Hanwha Vision PNO-A9081RLP is a 4K LPR/ANPR IR bullet camera that processes licence plate recognition, vehicle make/model/colour recognition (MMCR), and vehicle classification entirely on the edge, without the need for a dedicated server. Equipped with the Wisenet Road AI application pre-installed and licensed, this outdoor bullet camera handles single-lane vehicle identification at speeds up to approximately 70 km/h, making it directly applicable to access control gates, car park entry points, and commercial site driveways. Featuring a motorised varifocal lens spanning 4.5 mm to 10 mm, installers can frame the capture zone precisely during commissioning. It also includes a 32 GB microSD card pre-installed, storing up to 10,000 plate and vehicle images on the camera itself. The IP66/IP67 and IK10-rated housing withstands both harsh weather and physical impact, supporting long-term deployment in exposed outdoor positions.
Key Capabilities
Edge AI: LPR and MMCR On-Camera
The pre-installed Wisenet Road AI application runs licence plate recognition alongside make, model, colour recognition, and vehicle classification on the camera processor itself. No external analytics server is required, which simplifies deployment and reduces total system cost at single-lane access points.
4K Resolution at 30 fps
At 3840 x 2160 with up to 30 fps output via H.265 or H.264, the PNO-A9081RLP captures fine plate detail across the full sensor width. This resolution level is critical for accurate character-level plate recognition, particularly where plates are partially soiled or at the edge of the capture zone.
Motorised Varifocal Lens (4.5-10 mm)
The motorised zoom lens allows installers to adjust the horizontal field of view from approximately 101.4 degrees down to 45.5 degrees at the tele end, enabling precise framing of a single lane capture zone without physically repositioning the camera bracket after mounting.
120 dB WDR for Challenging Entry Points
With 120 dB wide dynamic range, the camera handles the contrast difference between a sunlit exterior and a shaded undercover entry simultaneously. This prevents blown highlights and crushed shadows in mixed-lighting conditions that are common at boom gate and undercover car park entrances.
IR Illumination to 30 m with 0 Lux B/W Capture
The built-in IR illumination reaches approximately 30 m, with minimum illumination dropping to 0 lux in black-and-white mode when IR is active. Night-time plate capture at unlit driveways, rear access gates, and after-hours entry points remains viable without external lighting infrastructure.
32 GB On-Board Storage Included
A 32 GB microSD card is included pre-installed, with capacity for up to 10,000 plate and vehicle images stored directly on the camera. This supports standalone deployments, evidence retrieval, and allow/deny list management without dependence on continuous NVR connectivity.
Best For
- Single-Lane Access Control Gates: Optimised for vehicle speeds up to 70 km/h in a single-lane configuration, making it directly applicable to boom gates, boom barriers, and entry checkpoints at commercial or industrial sites.
- Car Park Entry and Exit Monitoring: The motorised varifocal lens and 4K resolution allow precise framing and clear plate capture across a standard single-lane bay entry, with on-board MMCR supporting vehicle attribute logging alongside plate data.
- Commercial and Industrial Vehicle Sites: The IK10 and IP66/IP67-rated housing withstands impact and weather at loading dock approaches, logistics yards, and construction site entry points where cameras are exposed to environmental stress.
- Standalone Analytics Deployments: Sites where adding an analytics server is not practical benefit from the pre-installed Wisenet Road AI running LPR, MMCR, and vehicle classification fully on the camera edge.
Why Choose the PNO-A9081RLP
The PNO-A9081RLP separates itself from standard 4K bullet cameras by combining factory-licensed LPR, MMCR, and vehicle classification into the camera firmware, removing the need for third-party analytics software or a dedicated server at each site. A standard 4K outdoor bullet captures video but leaves plate recognition as a separate cost and infrastructure requirement. The PNO-A9081RLP handles recognition, image logging, and smart search locally, with the included 32 GB microSD card providing immediate storage for up to 10,000 plate events. The IK10 vandal rating and IP66/IP67 weather protection extend deployment suitability beyond sheltered areas to fully exposed outdoor positions. For integrators specifying a single-camera LPR solution where edge processing is a priority, this model is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Hanwha Vision P Series range.
Buyer Decision Tips
Single Lane vs Multi-Lane: The PNO-A9081RLP is optimised for single-lane vehicle capture at up to approximately 70 km/h. If your site involves multi-lane traffic monitoring or higher vehicle speeds, consult the Wisenet Road AI application guide for mounting height, angle, and lane width requirements before committing to this configuration. Multi-lane setups may require additional cameras or a different deployment approach than a single unit can support.
PoE+ Power Requirement: This camera draws up to 20 W at maximum load and requires a PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) switch port, not standard PoE (802.3af). Confirm your PoE switch or injector supports 802.3at on the relevant port before installation. Using an underpowered PoE source may cause the camera to restart or limit IR output, directly impacting night-time plate capture performance.

Ideal Use Cases
Boom Gate and Barrier Entry Points
The single-lane LPR capability at up to 70 km/h suits boom gate approaches where vehicles slow but do not stop. The motorised varifocal lens allows precise framing of the plate capture zone during commissioning without remounting.
Car Park Entry and Exit Lanes
The 4K resolution and on-board MMCR logging support both ticketless access systems and forensic vehicle attribute searches after an incident, with up to 10,000 plate events stored on the included 32 GB microSD card without NVR dependency.
Industrial and Logistics Site Access
At loading docks and logistics yard entries, the IK10 and IP66/IP67-rated housing resists both physical impact from equipment proximity and sustained weather exposure, while the Wisenet Road AI identifies and logs vehicle attributes without a server on-site.
After-Hours Unlit Driveways
With minimum illumination reaching 0 lux in B/W mode when the built-in IR is active, and IR reaching approximately 30 m, the PNO-A9081RLP captures plates at unlit access points without requiring external lighting infrastructure.
City Traffic Monitoring Corridors
Where local authority or commercial operators need vehicle classification and plate metadata on a single lane without a back-end analytics platform, the pre-licensed Wisenet Road AI processes all recognition tasks on the camera itself and supports smart search by plate, make, model, and colour.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your site requires on-camera licence plate recognition, MMCR, and vehicle classification running on the edge without a server, in a single-lane outdoor configuration with vehicle speeds up to approximately 70 km/h and exposure to weather or physical impact.
- Choose a different model if: Your application involves multi-lane highway or high-speed traffic above 70 km/h, as this configuration exceeds the confirmed operating envelope for a single PNO-A9081RLP and would require a different deployment approach or additional camera units per the Wisenet Road AI application guide.
- Choose a different model if: Your site only needs general video surveillance without LPR or MMCR analytics, as a standard 4K outdoor bullet without the Road AI licensing would meet that requirement at a lower price point.
FAQs
- What vehicle speeds does the LPR function support?
In a single-lane configuration, the PNO-A9081RLP is rated for licence plate recognition at vehicle speeds up to approximately 70 km/h using the pre-installed Wisenet Road AI engine. For sites where vehicles travel faster or across multiple lanes, consult the Wisenet Road AI application guide for mounting, angle, and lane width parameters before deploying a single unit.
- Does the camera need a separate analytics server to run LPR and MMCR?
No. The Wisenet Road AI application is pre-installed and licensed on the PNO-A9081RLP itself. Licence plate recognition, make/model/colour recognition, and vehicle classification all execute on the camera processor. No additional server hardware or software licence is required to activate these functions.
- What does the included 32 GB microSD card store?
The card comes pre-installed and supports storage of up to approximately 10,000 plate and vehicle event images directly on the camera. This allows standalone operation, evidence retrieval, and allow/deny list management without the camera needing to be continuously connected to a network video recorder.
- What is the effective night-time plate capture range with IR active?
The built-in IR illuminator has an effective viewable length of approximately 30 m. In B/W mode with IR active, minimum illumination reaches 0 lux. For optimal results, ensure there is no bright ambient light source directly behind approaching vehicles, which can overpower plate reflection at the edges of the IR range.
- Does the IK10 rating mean I can mount this in a high-vandal-risk position?
IK10 is the highest impact resistance rating under IEC 62262, providing protection against 20-joule impacts. Combined with IP66/IP67 weatherproofing, the housing is rated for fully exposed outdoor positions and high-risk areas. That said, positioning the camera at a height that limits casual reach still reduces exposure to deliberate physical attack, regardless of impact rating.
- Which power input does this camera require, and does standard PoE work?
The PNO-A9081RLP requires PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), not standard PoE (802.3af). It draws up to 20 W at maximum load. If your existing switch only provides 802.3af ports, you will need a PoE+ injector or a switch upgrade before installation. A 12 V DC supply is also supported as an alternative power source. This model is available through Security Wholesalers and their team can advise on compatible PoE+ switching options.
- Can the camera detect vehicle attributes even if the licence plate is unreadable?
Yes. The Wisenet Road AI supports vehicle detection and attribute recognition covering make, model, and colour independently of plate capture. If a plate is obscured, damaged, or missing, the camera can still log vehicle attribute metadata for that event, though plate recognition accuracy will naturally be reduced where the plate itself cannot be resolved.
