§ 01Overview
What the DS-2CD7A26G0 is
The Hikvision DS-2CD7A26G0/P-IZS is a DeepinView bullet camera specialised for Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR).
It uses a 2 MP 1/1.8" sensor at a high frame rate to freeze a moving plate, and a deep-learning engine reads and logs the characters.
The plate algorithm is tuned for Australian plates and reaches around 95% accuracy when the camera is aimed and set up correctly.
This configuration uses the 2.8 to 12 mm motorised zoom with 50 m infrared, which suits the everyday ANPR jobs where the vehicle passes within a moderate distance: a car park entry, a boom gate, a shop driveway or a single-lane gate.
The motorised lens lets you set the zoom and focus remotely so the plate fills the right part of the frame.
DarkFighter low-light performance and 140 dB Wide Dynamic Range keep plates legible against headlight glare at night and strong backlight by day, the two conditions that usually defeat an ordinary camera at an entrance.
On top of plate capture it holds a block list and an allow list on the camera, so a recognised plate can trigger a boom gate or an alert, and it adds face detection and behaviour analytics.
This is a metal bullet rated IP67 and IK10 for outdoor sites, powered by PoE or 12 VDC.
Aim, height and lighting matter for ANPR, so plan the install for a clean, front-on view of the plate; record it to a Hikvision NVR to store the footage and the plate events.
Note this model captures audio through a line connection rather than a built-in microphone.

§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Car park entries
Read plates at a boom gate or entry lane and trigger access for permitted vehicles.

§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
One DS-2CD7A26G0/P-IZS ANPR bullet camera with a mounting template, fixings and a quick guide. The PoE switch or NVR, network cable, microSD card and any junction box are supplied separately.
Installation requirements
Mount it for a clean, front-on view of the plate at the lane or gate, at a height and angle that keep the plate square in the frame, and run one network cable back to a PoE switch or NVR. Set the 2.8 to 12 mm zoom and focus on the plate area, tune the ANPR and lists in the software, and record it to a Hikvision NVR.

Q.03
Why only 2 MP for a plate camera?
Q.04
What is the difference between this and the 8 to 32 mm version?
Q.05

§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
Record and review it
Feed it to a Hikvision AcuSense recorder such as the 16-channel DS-7732NXI-I4/16P NVR for higher channel counts and bandwidth, or the 8-channel DS-7608NI-I2/8P on smaller sites. Add a surveillance-grade drive like the 8 TB for weeks of continuous footage.
Power it over one cable
Run a single network cable per camera from a PoE source. The HiLook 8-port PoE switch feeds several cameras and the recorder, keeping the cabling tidy on multi-camera sites.
Reach a distant gate too
For a far boundary gate or a long lane, pair it with the long-range DS-2CD7A26G0/P-IZS 8-32mm ANPR, which uses the 8 to 32 mm zoom and 100 m infrared.
