Product Overview
Purpose-built for automatic number plate recognition at vehicle entry points, highways, toll lanes, and controlled access facilities, the Hikvision iDS-2CD7A45G2/P-IZHSY is a DeepinView ANPR bullet camera that combines 4 MP resolution with a motorised 4.7-118 mm lens delivering 25x optical zoom. Its ShotN technology allows capture of fast-moving vehicles at up to 4 MP at 60 fps or 2 MP at 120 fps, reducing motion blur on plates even at highway speeds. Equipped with DarkFighter 2.0 imaging, the camera operates down to 0.0018 lux in colour mode and is supported by 150 dB AWDR to maintain plate legibility across backlit or high-contrast scenes. It also integrates built-in vehicle attribute analytics to classify vehicle type alongside plate data. Rated IP67, IK10, and optionally NEMA 4X for corrosive or coastal environments, with a built-in heater for cold climate operation, this model is suited to long-range ANPR deployment in demanding outdoor conditions.
Key Capabilities
Built-In ANPR and Vehicle Analytics
On-camera license plate recognition and vehicle attribute classification run without relying on external servers. This reduces latency for access control triggers and keeps analytics processing local, which matters in bandwidth-limited or remote installations.
ShotN Technology for Moving Vehicles
ShotN enables 4 MP at 60 fps or 2 MP at 120 fps, significantly reducing motion blur when capturing plates on vehicles travelling at speed. This is critical for highway lanes and toll booths where a standard 25 fps camera would produce smeared plate images.
25x Optical Zoom for Long-Range Framing
The motorised 4.7-118 mm lens allows installers to frame a single lane at significant standoff distances without sacrificing pixel density on the plate. Remote zoom and focus adjustment reduces the need for repositioning on complex mounting structures.
DarkFighter 2.0 Low-Light and 150 dB AWDR
DarkFighter 2.0 imaging maintains usable colour detail at 0.0018 lux, while 150 dB AWDR handles the extreme contrast of headlights against dark backgrounds. Together they support ANPR across night-time, dawn, and backlit conditions common at facility entrances.
IP67, IK10 and Optional NEMA 4X Ingress Protection
IP67 seals against water and dust ingress, IK10 provides vandal resistance against direct impact, and the optional NEMA 4X rating adds protection from corrosive agents and salt-laden air. This combination suits coastal checkpoints, port facilities, and chemical processing sites.
Built-In Heater, G-Sensor, and Power Meter
The built-in heater maintains operation in cold climates, the G-sensor detects camera vibration or tampering events, and the power meter logs historical consumption data. These features reduce service visits at remote or difficult-to-access installations.
Best For
- Highway and Freeway Monitoring: ShotN technology at 2 MP at 120 fps enables legible plate capture of vehicles at high travel speeds, where standard frame rates produce motion blur.
- Toll Booths and Lane Control: The 25x optical zoom allows the camera to be mounted at a standoff distance while maintaining the pixel density required to read plates within a single lane.
- Gated Facilities and Boom Gate Entries: Built-in ANPR and vehicle attribute analytics integrate directly with access control systems for automated gate triggers without additional analytics servers.
- Ports, Industrial Sites, and Coastal Locations: Optional NEMA 4X rating and IP67 sealing protect the camera from corrosive atmospheres, salt spray, and washdown environments typical at port and industrial checkpoints.
- Cold Climate Deployments: The built-in heater and rated operating temperature of -40 degrees C ensure reliable operation in alpine, high-altitude, or cold-storage facility environments where standard cameras fail.
Why Choose the iDS-2CD7A45G2/P-IZHSY
The iDS-2CD7A45G2/P-IZHSY is not a general-purpose outdoor camera with ANPR added as an afterthought. It is an engineered DeepinView platform built from the ground up for vehicle identification, combining ShotN frame rate technology, a 25x motorised zoom lens, and on-board ANPR analytics in a single ruggedised housing. A standard fixed-lens IP camera cannot deliver the frame rates or the lens reach needed for reliable plate capture at lane speeds, and a software-only ANPR add-on on a generic camera introduces processing delay that this model eliminates by handling recognition locally. The 150 dB AWDR directly addresses the headlight and backlight challenges that defeat most cameras at night-time entry points. With IP67, IK10, optional NEMA 4X, and a built-in heater, the camera is deployable in conditions where standard commercial cameras require frequent intervention. Available through Security Wholesalers, the iDS-2CD7A45G2/P-IZHSY represents a specialist tool for sites where plate capture accuracy is operationally critical.
Buyer Decision Tips
Mounting Angle and Lane Geometry: ANPR accuracy depends heavily on the camera’s angle of approach to the plate. For best results, the capture angle should be within 30 degrees horizontal and 30 degrees vertical from the plate surface. Before ordering, confirm your mounting position relative to the lane centreline and expected vehicle height range. The 25x zoom allows adjustment of standoff distance but does not compensate for poor approach angles. Use the motorised lens to fine-tune framing after mounting rather than adjusting the bracket post-installation.
NEMA 4X vs Standard IP67: The optional NEMA 4X rating applies to specific configurations of this camera and adds corrosion resistance beyond what IP67 alone provides. If the installation site is coastal, marine, or industrial with chemical exposure, confirm the NEMA 4X variant is supplied rather than assuming the standard IP67 version covers those conditions. NEMA 4X is relevant where salt air, chemical washdown, or high-humidity corrosive atmospheres are present long-term.

Ideal Use Cases
Toll Lanes and Motorway Gantries
ShotN technology at 2 MP at 120 fps delivers the frame rates required to capture undistorted plate images from vehicles at highway speeds, making this camera suited to open-road tolling and freeway monitoring gantries.
Boom Gate and Access Control Entrances
On-board ANPR analytics generate plate data locally, enabling direct integration with boom gate controllers or access management platforms without requiring an intermediate server for plate processing.
Port and Marine Checkpoints
The optional NEMA 4X corrosion resistance rating addresses salt air and moisture-laden environments at port terminals and marine facilities where standard IP67 cameras deteriorate over time.
Critical Infrastructure Perimeters
IK10 vandal resistance, IP67 sealing, and the G-sensor tamper detection combine to protect the camera at high-security sites including utilities, data centres, and government facilities where physical interference is a risk.
Cold Climate and Alpine Installations
The built-in heater and -40 degrees C operating temperature rating allow deployment at alpine road checkpoints, ski resort entrances, and cold-storage logistics sites where standard camera housings fail without supplementary enclosures.
Night-Time Facility Entrances with Headlight Interference
The 150 dB AWDR directly counters the contrast between vehicle headlights and dark surrounds, allowing consistent plate capture at facility entrance lanes during overnight hours when backlight conditions are most challenging.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your site requires on-camera ANPR with vehicle attribute analytics, the installation involves fast-moving vehicles in a lane configuration, or the environment involves corrosive conditions, extreme cold, or vandal-exposed mounting positions where IP67 alone is insufficient.
- Choose a different model if: Your requirement is general outdoor video surveillance without a plate recognition function – a standard motorised varifocal bullet camera will provide equivalent image quality at a significantly lower cost where ANPR analytics are not operationally needed.
- Choose a different model if: Your site requires full pan-tilt-zoom repositioning across a wide outdoor area rather than a fixed-angle ANPR capture point – a PTZ camera is better suited to wide-area patrol and operator-directed tracking scenarios.
FAQs
- What types of ANPR data does this camera capture on-board?
The iDS-2CD7A45G2/P-IZHSY captures license plate numbers and performs vehicle attribute recognition including vehicle type classification. This data is processed locally on the camera without requiring an external analytics server, which reduces deployment complexity for access control or traffic monitoring integrations.
- Why does this camera need ShotN technology instead of standard 25 fps recording?
Standard cameras at 25 fps produce motion blur on plates when vehicles are moving at highway or arterial road speeds. ShotN enables the camera to capture at 2 MP at 120 fps or 4 MP at 60 fps, which dramatically reduces the exposure time per frame and delivers sharper plate images at speed. This is the primary technical requirement for highway-grade ANPR rather than a convenience feature.
- What is the difference between IP67 and the optional NEMA 4X rating?
IP67 certifies protection against water immersion up to 1 metre and complete dust exclusion. NEMA 4X adds corrosion resistance against salt air, chemical exposure, and washdown environments that IP67 does not specifically address. At coastal sites, port terminals, or industrial facilities with chemical processes, the NEMA 4X variant should be selected over the standard IP67 configuration for long-term reliability.
- How does the 150 dB AWDR help with vehicle entry point surveillance?
At controlled access points and toll lanes, cameras frequently face vehicle headlights at night or strong backlight during morning and afternoon sun. At 150 dB, the AWDR range is wide enough to retain plate detail in the headlight zone while preserving visible background context in the same frame, which is a common failure point on cameras with lower WDR ratings.
- What does the built-in G-sensor do?
The G-sensor monitors physical vibration of the camera body and triggers an event when unusual movement is detected. This serves as a tamper alert if someone attempts to reposition or strike the camera at an unattended installation, and also flags potential mounting structure issues such as pole vibration in high-wind environments.
- Does the camera operate in extreme cold without an external enclosure?
Yes. The iDS-2CD7A45G2/P-IZHSY includes a built-in heater and is rated to operate from -40 degrees C to +65 degrees C. This eliminates the need for a supplementary heated housing at alpine, cold-storage, or high-altitude sites, which simplifies installation and reduces ongoing maintenance requirements.
- Is this camera available through Security Wholesalers with local support?
Yes. The iDS-2CD7A45G2/P-IZHSY is part of the Security Wholesalers range. Given the specialist nature of this camera, buyers are encouraged to confirm the specific variant required, including the NEMA 4X configuration if corrosive environment protection is needed, before placing an order to ensure the correct unit is supplied for the installation site.
