Product Description
Overview
Automate entry points, toll pathways, and parking lot checkpoints with the Premium NDAA IPC-HNC524N-VBA50-LPR License Plate Recognition Camera. Tailored specifically for precision vehicle logging and gate automation, this high-performance camera runs on a large 1/1.8″ 4MP Progressive CMOS image sensor. It delivers a high accuracy rating of ≥99% for vehicle detection and ≥95% for license plate recognition, capturing distinct plates even on vehicles traveling up to 50 mph (80.5 km/h).
Equipped with a long-range 10mm to 50mm motorized varifocal lens, it gives security teams the power to adjust focal lengths remotely to capture perfect plate crops from distances up to 98 feet away. Integrated edge software automatically tracks metadata attributes like vehicle color, type, and direction, overlaying them instantly via a secure on-screen display. Sealed inside a rugged IP67 weatherproof housing with an included junction electrical box, it provides elite, reliable traffic tracking through all weather patterns.
Key Features
Elite 99% ANPR Recognition Accuracy: Onboard AI engines log and process licensed or unlicensed plates automatically, tracking vehicle path, color, and front-seat passenger presence.
High-Speed Vehicle Capture: Optimized to smoothly identify and freeze plates on vehicles moving up to 50 mi/h (80.5 km/h) without motion blur.
Long-Range 10–50mm Motorized Lens: Telephoto varifocal zoom helps adjust the target detection strip between 19.7 ft to 23.0 ft wide at a tracking distance of up to 98.4 ft.
Advanced Multi-Frame Noise Reduction: Incorporates multiple spatial and temporal 3D NR systems to keep high-speed captures crisp and readable at night.
Adjustable Brightness Night Vision: Features 6 specialized IR illuminators that intelligently auto-adjust up to 98.4 ft to prevent blinding reflections on reflective license plates.
Tamper Prevention Watermarking: Hardcoded video validation utilizes watermarks and verification tools to prove data integrity for law enforcement or legal use.
Flexible Automation Interfaces: Equipped with dual RS-485 ports, a Wiegand channel, and a 2-channel relay output to bridge data directly with access gates and loop coils.
NDAA Certified Architecture: Full National Defense Authorization Act compliance ensures qualification for government, municipal, and secure commercial infrastructure.
3 Year Manufacturer Warranty: Backed by an industry-leading 3-year manufacturer warranty guaranteeing specialized components and professional operational longevity.
