Practical Applications
Car Park Access Control
Managing vehicle access in car parks becomes effortless with this ANPR solution. The system reads registration plates automatically, triggering barriers without requiring drivers to stop or present tickets. Supporting allowlists of 110,000 vehicles and blocklists of equal capacity, facility managers maintain precise control over authorised entry. Consequently, traffic flows smoothly whilst unauthorised vehicles are identified immediately.
Commercial Building Security
Office complexes benefit from automated visitor vehicle tracking and employee recognition. The camera captures comprehensive vehicle data including type, brand and colour, creating detailed access logs. Because the system operates reliably in temperatures from -30°C to +65°C, performance remains consistent regardless of seasonal weather variations.
Shopping Centre Management
Retail facilities use ANPR technology to monitor customer vehicle duration and patterns. The motorised vari-focal lens adapts between 2.7mm and 12mm focal lengths, covering different lane widths without requiring multiple cameras. Meanwhile, the built-in signal ports integrate seamlessly with existing barrier systems, creating unified access control infrastructure.
Hospital and School Premises
Educational and healthcare facilities require strict access monitoring for safety purposes. This camera distinguishes between authorised staff vehicles, visitor cars and delivery vans automatically. Smart illumination technology adjusts lighting intensity based on ambient conditions, maintaining clear plate recognition during dawn, dusk and nighttime hours without disturbing nearby residents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the recognition accuracy of the DHI-ITC416-PL8I-IZ ANPR camera?
Under recommended installation and lighting conditions, the vehicle capture rate reaches 99% or higher. Recognition rates for positive and departing vehicles achieve 96% or greater, whilst European vehicle plates achieve 98% or higher recognition accuracy.
Q2: How many vehicle registration plates can the system store?
The camera supports both allowlist and blocklist functionality, with capacity for 110,000 entries in each list. Combined, this provides management of 220,000 vehicle registrations for comprehensive access control.
Q3: Can this ANPR camera control entry barriers directly?
Yes. Built-in signal ports, data ports and communication ports allow direct control of external devices including entry and exit barriers. The camera features 2 relay outputs rated at 2A 30 VDC or 0.5A 125 VAC specifically for barrier integration.
Q4: What vehicle information does the AI recognition system identify?
The system recognises vehicle registration plates, 147 different vehicle logos, 12 colour variations, and 9 vehicle types. Additionally, it detects unlicensed vehicles and provides comprehensive vehicle metadata for security analysis.
Q5: How does the camera perform in different lighting conditions?
Smart illumination technology automatically adjusts light intensity based on environmental brightness. With 140 dB WDR, the camera handles challenging backlight situations. Built-in IR illuminators provide 10-metre ANPR range and 20-metre video monitoring range in complete darkness.
