With 50m IR illumination, 120dB true WDR, and deep learning-based licence plate recognition supporting a blocklist and allowlist of up to 10,000 records, the DS-2XS6A46G1-P-IZS-4G-32MM is purpose-built for vehicle identification in locations beyond the reach of conventional infrastructure. It also supports Wiegand output for access control integration, and stores footage locally via microSD up to 256GB plus 8GB eMMC built-in.
Key Capabilities
Solar-Powered Off-Grid Operation
The integrated solar power supply eliminates the need for mains electrical cabling, making this camera deployable at remote gates, rural entry points, construction sites, and locations where trenching power infrastructure is cost-prohibitive or simply not possible.
4G Wireless Connectivity
Supporting LTE-TDD, LTE-FDD, WCDMA, and GSM standards via a Micro SIM card slot, this camera transmits video and ANPR data over cellular networks. This removes the dependence on fixed network infrastructure and allows deployment in truly remote or temporary monitoring scenarios.
Deep Learning Licence Plate Recognition
Onboard deep learning processes licence plates in real time, with blocklist and allowlist support for up to 10,000 records. This enables automated access decisions, event triggers, and alert generation without requiring a separate ANPR server in all deployments.
8-32mm Motorized Varifocal Lens
The 8-32mm motorized varifocal lens with auto-iris and auto-focus allows precise framing of a lane or gate entry without physical lens adjustment. The narrow field of view at the tele end enables licence plate capture across longer approach distances, backed by a DORI detect range of up to 400m.
120dB True WDR
120dB true Wide Dynamic Range handles the high-contrast lighting conditions common at vehicle entry points, such as vehicles moving from shade into direct sunlight or headlights in low-light conditions. Plates remain legible where cameras with lesser WDR capability would produce blown-out or shadowed images.
Wiegand Output and Alarm I/O
Built-in Wiegand interface supporting 26, 34, and 72-bit formats allows direct integration with compatible access control panels, enabling plate-triggered gate or barrier control. The onboard alarm input and output add further flexibility for linking to external devices such as boom gates or warning lights.
Best For
- Remote Gate and Rural Entry Monitoring: Solar power and 4G connectivity allow deployment at farm gates, rural properties, and unmanned entry points where cabling is not feasible.
- Automated Licence Plate Access Control: The onboard ANPR engine with 10,000-record blocklist and allowlist, combined with Wiegand output, enables plate-based gate or barrier automation without an external server.
- Temporary or Construction Site Monitoring: The self-contained solar and 4G design suits temporary deployments where installing permanent infrastructure is not warranted for the project duration.
- Single-Lane Vehicle Entry Points: The 8-32mm varifocal lens is optimised for focused lane coverage, delivering the narrow field of view needed to accurately capture plates on approaching vehicles at a controlled entry.
- Sites With Challenging Lighting: The 120dB WDR and 50m IR illumination handle the backlight and low-light conditions typical of outdoor vehicle approaches at dawn, dusk, and night.
Why Choose the DS-2XS6A46G1-P-IZS-4G-32MM
The DS-2XS6A46G1-P-IZS-4G-32MM addresses a specific deployment challenge that a standard ANPR bullet camera cannot: the complete absence of mains power and fixed network access at the monitoring point. Where a conventional ANPR camera requires electrical supply and an Ethernet or fibre connection, this unit operates entirely on solar-harvested power and transmits over a 4G cellular network. The 8-32mm motorized varifocal lens is a deliberate choice for licence plate work, providing the tight framing and extended DORI range needed to read plates accurately at approach distances. Onboard storage via microSD up to 256GB plus 8GB eMMC ensures footage is retained locally even during cellular outages. Wiegand output enables direct access control panel integration, making this more than a recording device. Available at Security Wholesalers, the DS-2XS6A46G1-P-IZS-4G-32MM suits integrators and end users who need a fully independent, infrastructure-free ANPR solution with genuine edge intelligence.
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Variant Selection: This SKU is fitted with the 8-32mm varifocal lens, which delivers a horizontal FOV of 40.3° to 14.5° and IR coverage to 50m. This configuration is suited to single-lane approaches and entry points where the camera is mounted at a distance from the vehicle path. If your installation requires wider coverage across a broader entry area or the camera will be mounted closer to the lane, the 2.8-12mm variant with a 107.4° to 39.8° FOV and 30m IR range may be more appropriate for the geometry of your site. Confirm your mounting distance and lane width before specifying a lens variant.
4G Data Plan and SIM Compatibility: This camera requires a Micro SIM card with an active 4G data plan to transmit footage and ANPR events. The unit supports LTE-TDD, LTE-FDD, WCDMA, and GSM across multiple frequency bands, but confirm that your chosen carrier provides adequate 4G coverage at the installation site before committing to deployment. In areas with marginal or no 4G signal, consider the RJ45 Ethernet port as a backup wired connection where a cable run becomes practical.

Ideal Use Cases
Remote Rural Gates and Farm Access
Solar power and 4G connectivity allow installation at farm or rural property gates with no power or data infrastructure available. The onboard ANPR engine logs and identifies vehicles at the access point without needing a connected server on site.
Unmanned Construction Site Entrances
Temporary deployment at construction site entry lanes is supported by the self-contained solar and 4G design. MicroSD and eMMC local storage ensure footage is retained even when the cellular connection is interrupted on site.
Carpark and Gated Estate Entry Lanes
The 8-32mm varifocal lens and 120dB WDR combination suit single-lane carpark entries where vehicles approach under variable lighting. Wiegand output allows the camera to trigger barrier or gate control directly based on recognised plates.
Industrial Yard and Depot Vehicle Monitoring
At yards and logistics depots where vehicles enter and exit across a wide time window, the blocklist and allowlist capability with up to 10,000 records supports automated access management and vehicle logging without manual oversight.
Traffic Monitoring on Unmanned Road Approaches
With a DORI detect range of up to 400m at the tele end of the 8-32mm lens and wind resistance rated to 40 m/s, this camera can be pole-mounted at exposed road approaches or checkpoints where conventional camera installations are impractical.
Perimeter Security at Off-Grid Facilities
Mining sites, water treatment facilities, utility substations, and other infrastructure locations with limited power access benefit from a camera that operates independently while still delivering AI-driven vehicle identification and local event recording.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your installation site lacks mains power and fixed network cabling, you need genuine ANPR with onboard blocklist and allowlist processing, and your lane geometry suits the 8-32mm varifocal lens with its 40.3° to 14.5° horizontal FOV and 50m IR range.
- Choose a different model if: Your site has reliable mains power and a wired network connection available, in which case a standard PoE ANPR bullet camera will reduce ongoing cellular data costs and eliminate dependency on solar charge levels. Alternatively, if your entry point requires wider coverage across multiple lanes simultaneously, a fisheye or multi-sensor camera positioned overhead may provide more appropriate coverage geometry.
- Consider the 2.8-12mm variant if: The camera will be mounted close to the lane, or you need a wider FOV to accommodate broader entry areas or pedestrian coverage alongside vehicle identification.
FAQs
- Does this camera require any external power source or does it run entirely on solar?
The DS-2XS6A46G1-P-IZS-4G-32MM is designed with an integrated solar power supply, eliminating the need for mains electrical cabling at the installation point. The camera operates from solar-harvested power. The unit draws a maximum of 7W and as low as 45mW in standby, which supports efficient energy management from the solar supply across varying daylight conditions.
- What 4G standards does this camera support and which Australian carriers are compatible?
The camera supports LTE-TDD, LTE-FDD, WCDMA, and GSM across multiple frequency bands via a Micro SIM card slot. It is compatible with any Australian carrier providing 4G LTE service on supported bands. Before installation, confirm that the deployment site has adequate 4G signal strength from your chosen carrier, as cellular coverage varies significantly at remote and rural locations.
- How does the onboard ANPR function work and what are its limitations?
The camera uses deep learning algorithms to detect and read licence plates in the camera’s field of view, matching results against onboard blocklist and allowlist databases of up to 10,000 records. It can trigger alarm outputs or Wiegand-based access control responses based on these matches. ANPR accuracy depends on correct camera positioning angle, approach speed, lighting conditions, and plate legibility. The 8-32mm lens on this variant is configured for the narrow field of view suited to lane-based plate capture.
- What local storage does this camera have if the 4G connection drops out?
The camera includes onboard microSD storage up to 256GB and 8GB of built-in eMMC storage. This means footage and ANPR event data continue to be recorded locally even when the cellular connection is unavailable. Once connectivity is restored, data can be synchronised or retrieved from the local storage.
- Can this camera be integrated with an access control system such as a boom gate or electric lock?
Yes. The DS-2XS6A46G1-P-IZS-4G-32MM includes a Wiegand interface supporting 26-bit, 34-bit, and 72-bit formats, which allows direct connection to compatible access control panels. Combined with the onboard alarm output (max 12VDC, 1A), the camera can trigger barrier arms, electric locks, or other access control hardware based on recognised licence plates from the allowlist.
- How does the 120dB WDR benefit licence plate capture at vehicle entry points?
Vehicle entry points frequently present extreme contrast lighting, including vehicles transitioning from shaded areas into direct sunlight or headlights at night. The 120dB true WDR on this camera processes these high-contrast scenes so that both the licence plate and the surrounding environment remain visible in the same frame. Without sufficient WDR, plates can appear washed out or unreadable in these conditions, defeating the purpose of an ANPR deployment.
- Where can I source and get support for the DS-2XS6A46G1-P-IZS-4G-32MM in Australia?
The DS-2XS6A46G1-P-IZS-4G-32MM is part of the Security Wholesalers range, supplying this unit to trade installers and integrators across Australia. Security Wholesalers can assist with product selection between the 8-32mm and 2.8-12mm lens variants, as well as broader Hikvision ANPR system requirements including NVR compatibility, software licensing, and project-specific configuration advice.
