The Hikvision DS-2XS6A46G1/P-IZS/C36S80 is a 4 MP solar-powered, 4G bullet camera with number-plate recognition, built for sites with no mains power and no network cable. It pairs the camera with an 80 W solar panel and a 360 Wh rechargeable battery so it runs on its own, sending video over the 4G mobile network.

Key points
- 4 MP (2560 x 1440) bullet with motorised varifocal lens
- 80 W solar panel and 360 Wh rechargeable lithium battery
- 4G mobile connectivity (Micro SIM, not included)
- Deep-learning ANPR number-plate recognition with vehicle list
- Human and vehicle smart detection; 120 dB WDR
- IP66 weatherproof for outdoor, off-grid sites

- Dual 4MP Lenses With 36× Optical Zoom: Two high-resolution lenses — a motorised 36× zoom and a wide-angle fixed lens — operate simultaneously to deliver long-range subject detail alongside broad scene awareness from a single unit, removing the trade-off between overview and close-up that limits single-lens PTZ cameras.
- On-Board ANPR, Face Recognition, and AI Behaviour Detection: AI analytics process locally without a backend server, covering automatic number plate recognition, face recognition, and behaviour-based detection for smoking, phone use, and missing PPE such as hard hats — critical for roadside, event, and construction compliance deployments.
- 4G/5G, Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth Connectivity: Multiple wireless options allow the unit to transmit live footage and alerts from locations without fixed network infrastructure. GPS tagging confirms deployment location for incident records, and Bluetooth supports local device configuration.
- 9-Hour Replaceable Battery With Magnetic/Tripod Deployment: A hot-swappable lithium-ion battery provides up to 9 hours of operation per charge. The magnetic base attaches to vehicle roofs in minutes; the tripod mount supports freestanding placement — neither requires drilling, cabling, or permanent infrastructure.

- 8MP 4K ANPR With 316L Stainless Steel Housing: 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor delivers 3840×2160 at 30fps through a 2.8–12mm motorised varifocal lens. The 316L-grade stainless steel enclosure with anti-corrosion coating is certified C5-M and NEMA 4X, designed for salt-air coastal sites, chemical plants, and marine environments where standard aluminium housings corrode within months.
- Built-In Wiper for Continuous Clear Imaging: The -R variant includes a motorised wiper that automatically removes water, dust, and contaminants from the front glass, preventing plate read failures caused by lens obstruction in high-rainfall or dusty outdoor entry points.
- On-Board Deep Learning LPR With Wiegand Output: Deep learning LPR runs directly on the camera, extracting plate data, vehicle attributes, and metadata without a separate analytics server. Wiegand output enables direct integration with access control panels and barrier controllers based on plate match events.
- DarkFighter With 120dB WDR and 60m Smart IR: Colour minimum illumination of 0.002 lux combined with 120dB WDR handles the headlight glare and deep shadow conditions typical of night-time car park entries. Smart IR extends to 60m with automatic intensity adjustment to avoid overexposing plates at close range.

- On-Board ANPR Engine With >98% Accuracy: Built-in AI algorithm processes licence plate recognition locally on the camera at >99% capture rate and >98% LPR accuracy, eliminating reliance on a separate ANPR server for basic recognition tasks at single-lane entry points.
- Two Motorised Varifocal Lens Variants: The A variant ships with a 4–11mm lens suited to shorter-range or wider-lane installations (3–8m standoff), while the B variant offers an 8–32mm lens for longer distances or narrower lane framing. Motorised autofocus allows remote adjustment without physically accessing the housing.
- 140dB WDR for Entry Lane Performance: Entry and exit lanes are the most demanding WDR environments. The 140dB rating allows the sensor to retain plate detail in conditions where vehicle headlights, morning sun, and deep shadow occur simultaneously.
- Vehicle Classification and Colour Detection: Beyond plate reading, the ANPR engine classifies vehicles as car, van, bus, truck, or other, identifies body colour across 9 categories, and recognises 65 vehicle manufacturers — data logged alongside each capture event.

- 9MP ITS Imaging for High-Detail Plate Capture: The 9-megapixel resolution delivers the level of image detail required for vehicle and plate capture at checkpoint lanes, supporting accurate number plate reads and vehicle identification across a defined capture zone with greater pixel density than standard 4MP or 5MP ANPR units.
- ANPR and LPR Support With Vehicle Recognition: Automatic number plate recognition and licence plate recognition capability extends beyond simple plate capture, supporting vehicle classification and identification within a controlled lane or checkpoint environment for structured access and traffic evidence workflows.
- H.265 Compression for Multi-Lane Deployments: H.265 compression reduces the bandwidth and storage load of high-resolution ITS footage, helping sites with multiple checkpoint lanes or extended recording retention manage infrastructure costs in compatible recording systems.
- IR Illumination for 24-Hour Operation: IR illumination supports plate and vehicle capture during low-light and night-time conditions when the camera is correctly aligned to the capture zone, maintaining usable footage at checkpoints that operate around the clock.

- 5MP ANPR at up to 20m: 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor delivers 3072×1728 resolution at 30fps, resolving plate characters clearly at distances up to 20 metres with 140dB WDR preventing washout from direct headlights at gated entrances.
- Two Motorised Varifocal Lens Options: 2.8–12mm covers 114.5°–38.6° horizontally for closer or wider entrances; 8–32mm narrows to 47.2°–15.1° for longer lanes or overhead boom mounts. Both lenses are motorised for remote focus after installation.
- Dual Built-In Lighting: Four integrated LEDs — two warm white and two IR — deliver general scene illumination up to 50m and targeted plate capture up to 20m, eliminating the need for external illuminators at standard entrance points.
- Offline Allowlist and Blocklist With 100,000 Entries: On-board TF card slot supports up to 1TB, with local storage of 100,000 plate entries for allowlist and blocklist operation — the camera continues to control barrier access independently if the network goes down.
