HIKVISION DS-TCG406-E(S) 4 MP Access ANPR Camera
The Hikvision DS-TCG406-E(S) is a 4 MP access ANPR (licence plate recognition) camera for vehicle entrances and exits. It uses a 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS sensor with up to 2688 × 1520 resolution, built-in IR and warm white lights, and a motorized vari-focal lens. It can open a barrier gate directly through its relay outputs and keep an allowlist and blocklist of up to 100,000 plates.
Hikvision makes this model with a 2.8 to 12 mm or an 8 to 32 mm lens. Lens-dependent values (field of view, aperture and light range) are listed for both versions in the table.

Licence Plate Recognition: The camera reads plates with loop triggering, radar triggering or video triggering, and uses multi-frame recognition to improve the recognition rate. It also supports dirty licence plate recognition and reads plates forward, backward or in both directions.
Vehicle Details: Besides the plate, the camera recognises the vehicle type, vehicle color and vehicle brand (84 manufacturers are listed by Hikvision). These details can be overlaid on the captured pictures.

Barrier Gate Control: 2 relay outputs open and close a vehicle barrier gate. Under allowlist mode the camera can control the gate offline, and its vehicle-passing algorithm can keep the gate open during continuous traffic to improve passing efficiency.
Access Control Integration: A Wiegand output (26-bit, 34-bit and 72-bit formats are supported) connects the camera to an access control system.

Day and Night Capture: 4 built-in LEDs combine 850 nm IR light and 3000 K warm white light. With 140 dB WDR and a dedicated entrance and exit exposure algorithm, the camera handles front light, back light and different front and rear plates.
Storage and Mounting: An integrated TF card slot takes cards up to 1 TB, and the camera supports NAS storage. It comes with an integrated shield and a concealed wire box, and supports pole, wall, pendant and universal joint mounting.
Who it's for / Works with
Entrance and exit toll gates and underground parking entrances and exits (the scene modes Hikvision lists). Clients: Hik-Connect, HikCentral, SDK and PMS. Jordan is on Hikvision's list of supported ANPR countries.
Good to know
Hikvision states the LPR accuracy (≥ 98.5% recognition rate, ≥ 99% capture rate) under recommended installation and lighting conditions.
The camera has a 10/100 Mbps network port. Power is 12 to 24 VDC or PoE (802.3af), 10 W max.
