Hikvision iDS-TCM403-BI - 4MP ANPR Traffic Bullet Camera with 10-50mm Lens and Smart Traffic Analytics

The Hikvision iDS-TCM403-BI is a 4MP Intelligent Traffic series ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) bullet camera with a 10-50mm varifocal lens, 50m infrared range, and 140dB Wide Dynamic Range. Designed specifically for licence plate capture and smart traffic analytics at estate entrances, parking facilities, and access control points - compatible with Hikvision NVR and VMS platforms supporting traffic analytics. Requires PoE power.

Why This Camera Stands Out

• ANPR Licence Plate Recognition - Automatically reads and records licence plate numbers from passing vehicles, enabling automated access control, vehicle logging, and instant plate-based alerts at entrance and exit points.
• 10-50mm Varifocal Lens - Wide zoom range allows precise focusing on the licence plate capture zone regardless of lane width, mounting distance, or approach angle.
• 140dB WDR and Smart Traffic Analytics - Exceptional wide dynamic range handles headlights and bright sunlight at entrance points, while smart traffic analytics provide vehicle counting, classification, and flow data.

Key Features

• 4MP resolution optimised for licence plate capture
• 10-50mm motorised varifocal lens
• 50m infrared (IR) night vision range
• 140dB Wide Dynamic Range
• ANPR / LPR analytics - automatic licence plate reading
• Smart Traffic Analytics - vehicle counting and classification
• PoE (IEEE 802.3af/at) power
• IP67 weatherproof rating

Why You'll Love It

Manual vehicle logging at estate entrances and parking facilities is slow, error-prone, and expensive. The iDS-TCM403-BI automates it - reading and recording every plate automatically, flagging unauthorised vehicles instantly, and building a searchable log of every vehicle entry and exit. 24 hours a day, in any lighting condition.

FAQ

Does ANPR work on South African number plates?
Yes. Hikvision's ANPR analytics are designed to recognise standard number plate formats including South African plates. Accuracy is optimised when the camera is correctly aimed and the varifocal lens is adjusted to fill the plate clearly in the frame.

Does the camera store the ANPR data or does it need a server?
ANPR data (plate reads, timestamps, images) is processed on the camera and can be stored on a connected Hikvision NVR, transmitted to a VMS, or accessed via the camera's API. A dedicated ANPR server or VMS with licence plate database integration is recommended for alert-based access control.

What is the maximum vehicle speed for reliable plate capture?
The iDS-TCM403-BI is designed for access control applications where vehicles approach at low to moderate speed - typically under 30km/h at an entrance or exit lane. Contact us at support@apextradedynamics.co.za for high-speed road applications. View all FAQs.
