Hikvision iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHSY 4MP ANPR Bullet Camera, Wiegand Output, 26bit, H.265+, IP67, IK10, 2.8-12mm

Product Overview

Built specifically for licence plate capture at vehicle entry and exit points, the Hikvision iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHS(Y) is a 4MP DeepinView ANPR bullet camera designed for car parks, gated driveways, and controlled access lanes. Featuring a 2.8-12mm motorised varifocal lens, it gives installers flexible framing across short-to-mid-range vehicle approaches without needing physical lens adjustment on site. The camera incorporates Hikvision’s DarkFighter technology and 140dB Wide Dynamic Range to maintain usable plate images under headlights, poor ambient lighting, and high-contrast scenes. Deep learning algorithms support automatic number plate recognition, vehicle type classification, colour identification, and brand detection, including motorcycles and vehicles without plates. A Wiegand output with 26-bit protocol allows direct integration with compatible access control systems, making this camera a practical fit for sites that need to link plate reads to gate or barrier triggers. It carries IP67 weatherproofing and an IK10 vandal rating for exposed outdoor mounting positions.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Car Park Entry and Exit Points: The ANPR engine and Wiegand output make this camera suitable for managed car parks where plate data needs to trigger barrier or gate actions automatically.
• Gated Residential and Commercial Driveways: The 2.8-12mm lens range suits sites where the camera is positioned close enough to a single-lane entry for reliable plate capture without excessive zoom.
• Access-Controlled Facilities: Hospitals, schools, industrial sites, and government facilities where vehicle identity logging and access restriction need to work together benefit from the combined ANPR and Wiegand integration.
• Night-Time Vehicle Monitoring: Sites with 24-hour vehicle movement rely on the DarkFighter sensor and up to 50m supplement light range to maintain plate readability when ambient lighting is minimal.

Why Choose the iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHS(Y)

What separates the iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHS(Y) from a standard IP bullet camera is the combination of onboard deep learning ANPR and a hardware Wiegand output. A general surveillance camera captures video; this model actively reads plates, classifies vehicles by type, colour, and brand, and can trigger an access control system without any intermediate device handling that conversion. The 140dB WDR and DarkFighter technology address the two conditions that consistently defeat standard cameras at vehicle entry points: headlight glare and low ambient light. The motorised 2.8-12mm lens avoids the need for multiple site visits during setup, and local storage via microSD up to 256GB provides a backup record independent of network availability. For integrators and end-users sourcing ANPR-capable hardware in Australia, this model is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Hikvision DeepinView range.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose this model if: Your installation places the camera within short-to-mid range of the vehicle lane, you need Wiegand output for direct access control integration, and your site requires vehicle attribute classification beyond simple number plate logging.
• Choose the 8-32mm variant if: Your camera will be mounted at a greater distance from the capture point, such as on a pole overlooking a road approach or a wide entry lane more than 15-20 metres from the camera position, where a longer focal length is needed to fill the frame with the plate at capture distance.
• Choose a standard IP bullet camera if: Your site does not require onboard ANPR or access control integration and general area surveillance at the vehicle entry point is sufficient. A standard bullet camera will deliver lower cost without the deep learning processing overhead.
• Choose a PTZ camera if: You need to track vehicles across a wide open area or monitor multiple approach lanes from a single mounting position, where the fixed bullet housing would require several cameras to cover the same field.

FAQs

1. What does the Wiegand output on the iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHS(Y) actually do?
   The 26-bit Wiegand output allows the camera to transmit plate read data as a Wiegand signal to a compatible access controller. When a recognised plate is detected, the controller can trigger a relay output to open a gate or barrier automatically. The receiving access control panel must support Wiegand input and be configured for 26-bit protocol to use this feature.
2. Is the 2.8-12mm lens suitable for reading plates on a main road or at a distance of 30 metres or more?
   At longer distances, the 2.8-12mm lens will produce images where number plates occupy a smaller portion of the frame, which can reduce recognition accuracy. This lens variant is better suited to close-range capture at boom gates, driveway columns, and single-lane entries where the camera is positioned within approximately 10-15 metres of the plate. For longer-distance capture, the 8-32mm variant of this camera is the appropriate choice.
3. Can the camera detect vehicles that do not have a number plate?
   Yes. The deep learning analytics on the iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHS(Y) include detection of vehicles with no licence plate fitted. These events can be flagged and logged separately, which is useful for sites where unregistered or obscured vehicles need to trigger a security alert.
4. Does the DarkFighter technology replace the need for external lighting at night?
   DarkFighter improves the camera’s ability to produce usable images in low ambient light by maximising sensor sensitivity. The camera also has an onboard supplement light with a range of up to 50m. For ANPR applications requiring consistent plate readability at night, dedicated IR or white light illumination positioned to cover the licence plate capture zone is still recommended to achieve reliable results.
5. What NVRs are compatible with the ANPR features of this camera?
   Hikvision’s I-Series NVRs are confirmed as compatible with the ANPR and deep learning analytics on this camera. Other Hikvision NVR models may display the camera stream but may not surface all vehicle attribute data or ANPR event logs. Check the specific NVR’s feature compatibility list before finalising your recorder selection if ANPR search and event management are required at recorder level.
6. How much local storage does the camera support and when is that useful?
   The camera supports a microSD/microSDHC/microSDXC card up to 256GB. Local storage provides a backup record of footage and ANPR events independent of network connectivity or NVR availability. This is particularly useful at remote gate entry points where network interruptions could otherwise result in gaps in the vehicle access log.
7. Where can I get technical support and access the datasheet for this camera in Australia?
   The datasheet and Hikvision ANPR installation guide are linked in the Additional Information section below. This camera is part of the Security Wholesalers range, and the team can assist with compatibility questions, lens variant selection, and NVR pairing for ANPR deployments across Australia.
