Hikvision iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHS(Y) 4MP ANPR Bullet Camera – 8-32mm Motorised Varifocal Lens
The Hikvision iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHS(Y) is a powerhouse in the field of intelligent surveillance, purpose-built for demanding scenarios where license plate recognition and long-range detail are mission-critical. This advanced 4MP bullet camera is part of Hikvision’s DeepinView series, integrating sophisticated ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition), vehicle detection, and metadata extraction – all wrapped in a rugged, all-weather IP67 and IK10-rated housing.
At the heart of this camera is its motorised 8mm–32mm varifocal lens, designed for long-range coverage. Unlike conventional wide-angle lenses, the 8–32mm configuration allows for precise zooming on distant roadways, facility entrances, car parks, or perimeter fences. Whether monitoring a long private driveway, capturing plates on fast-moving highways, or covering industrial estate gates, this lens ensures sharp recognition performance even when vehicles are far from the camera.

8mm–32mm vs 2.8mm–12mm: Which Lens to Use?
Both versions of the iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHS(Y) offer the same intelligent core and rugged housing but serve distinctly different use cases due to their lens ranges:
Use the 8–32mm Version When:
-
You need to capture plates from vehicles at 15–40 metres away.
-
Monitoring a single entry/exit point from a long driveway or perimeter gate.
-
You require tight framing on a single-lane roadway, toll booth, or loading bay.
-
Background clutter needs to be minimized to reduce false detection.
Use the 2.8–12mm Version When:
-
You are monitoring shorter distances (5–15 metres), such as standard car parks or urban driveways.
-
A wider field of view is needed to observe multiple lanes or broader gate areas.
-
The camera is placed in tight quarters, such as undercover carparks or near building entrances.
-
You are balancing plate recognition with general overview footage.
Whether deployed at a commercial facility, secure estate, logistics hub, or high-traffic urban location, the iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHS(Y) with 8–32mm lens delivers exceptional long-range clarity and reliable license plate intelligence – giving you the reach and data you need, exactly where it counts.
