Extra Info
Deep Learning-Powered Recognition – Beyond Just Plate Numbers
This camera leverages advanced deep learning algorithms to go beyond traditional license plate recognition. It can accurately detect and analyze vehicle attributes such as make, model, color, and series—even in scenarios where license plates are missing, obscured, or tampered with. This allows for multi-layer vehicle verification, enhances investigative capability, and supports analytics-driven insights for parking management, gated facilities, and transportation hubs.
Optimized for Access Control – Purpose-Built for Entry Points
Engineered for environments with controlled traffic flow, this model performs best with vehicles traveling at speeds under 40 km/h. It delivers high-accuracy identification at close range, making it ideal for parking entrances, condominiums, private communities, and secure facility gates where vehicle profiling and entry logging are critical.
Multiple Activation Methods – Flexible Triggering Options
The camera supports various detection and trigger methods, including:
- Video motion detection
- I/O coil-based induction loops
- Hybrid triggering (video + coil)
This flexibility makes it easy to integrate with both new and legacy access control systems, allowing for custom entry logic and streamlined installation.
IR Illuminators + Low-Light Clarity – Day & Night Confidence
With six high-efficiency IR LEDs, the camera can illuminate license plates and vehicles up to 12 meters away in total darkness. Paired with Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), it balances brightness and shadows even under headlights, backlight, or changing daylight conditions—ensuring that important vehicle details are never missed.
Secure & Versatile Integration – Built for System Interoperability
A wide range of physical interfaces—including RS-232, RS-485, audio I/O, and relay output—lets this camera connect seamlessly to barrier gates, PA speakers, alarms, or third-party controllers. This enables real-time automation, alerts, and custom responses depending on the use case.
Onboard Storage and Redundancy – Local Backup, Zero Gaps
Supports up to 128GB microSD storage for local recording and Automatic Network Replenishment (ANR) functionality. When the network is temporarily offline, footage is stored locally and automatically uploaded to an NVR once the connection resumes—ensuring continuous data capture with no loss.
Watermark Verification – Legal-Grade Evidence Assurance
To ensure authenticity, all captured footage can be watermarked, providing a built-in verification method for regulatory compliance, traffic disputes, or law enforcement evidence. This feature reinforces the camera’s suitability for jurisdictional or enterprise-grade deployments.
Q&A
Q: Can this camera identify vehicles without license plates?
A: Yes. It can still recognize make, model, series, and color using deep learning analysis.
Q: What’s the capture speed limit?
A: It works best when vehicles are moving under 40km/h.
Q: Does it need external lighting at night?
A: No. It has 6 built-in IR LEDs for effective night visibility up to 12 meters.
Q: Can it open a gate when it sees a valid plate?
A: Yes. It has built-in relay outputs that can connect to gate or barrier control systems.
Q: How accurate is the license plate recognition?
A: It delivers over 90% accuracy for plate recognition and over 95% for vehicle feature detection.
Q: Is the lens adjustable remotely?
A: Yes. It has a motorized vari-focal lens that can be zoomed and focused remotely.
Q: What happens during a network failure?
A: The camera continues to store data to the onboard SD card and uses ANR for sync once the network restores.
Q: What kind of storage is supported?
A: It supports up to 128GB microSD cards (Kingston, Dahua, SanDisk approved).
