NEW Hikvision ANPR Camera iDS-TCM203

In this video we take a look at the highly impressive IDS-TCM ANPR camera that forms part of the ITS (intelligent traffic solution) range.
This is a high performance camera with high accuracy during both day & night, reading plates in both direction. It can also be linked to a telematics unit allowing 3G/4G connectivity to back end systems like BOHF2, UTMC protocol etc.
This is not only a highly intelligent device it is also highly flexible.

Does it require to insert sd card for detecting license plate? When i placed my camera over the bridge and ran the internet explorer it did not let capture ay license plate numbers? The footage was good just curious why, i did not had a sd card in the camera. please help. Rah from Chicago. Thanks

Thanks for the time you put into the review. I am new to the lpr setup. Can you say if this model will work in Jamaica or is the algorithm region specific?

[@DVSLTD]

Hi , and thanks for the feedback, a lot of countries are supported , I would ask your local HIK Rep to confirm as I don’t have this listed as supported but you probably will find it is

[@MIKE-il6mu]

@@DVSLTD Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the division dealer here does not carry these models.They mainly carry the entry to mid level models so I have to seek information elsewhere. Is there any info that I can send you to determine if the camera would capture the license plates here in Jamaica. I have a customer that is interested in this system for two gated communities. I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks

[@armandavtyan4023]

Thank you so much for sharing these great videos with us!! I’m having problem with push notifications from the LPR blacklist or white list. I would love to have this feature up and running but for some reason it doesn’t work. I spent five days already with five or six different Hikvision Tech Support guys on the phone and every time I hear different suggestions since no one really knows why it shouldn’t work. The last Tech Support from Hikvision told me that currently push notification for LRP (White list and blacklist options) are not available yet. Not directly from the camera and not even through the NVR. And the only option he told me is email notification. Could you please confirm if this is true or perhaps if you know the process would you please share with us?

[@DVSLTD]

Hi , and sorry to hear you had so much issues, actually its email at this point , we are looking to include this but for now it does only work via the email , sorry to have caused so many issue , I will chase it up for you 😊

[@DVSLTD]

I hope your ok, have you checked the voltage at the camera to make sure this is ok? And to check the IR LED work , change the mode from auto to night more to force them on

[@mirelalavac8974]

IT IS NONE, THAT IS THE THIRD SOLUTION THAT IT IS WRONG?

[@zy.r.4323]

Hi Dave! Thank you for the video! I would like to ask how can I set up this model for constant licence plate recognition. not to leave the live view open all the time if I have more than 5 cameras

[@DVSLTD]

you can add to an I series NVR and this will record all plates across all cameras and allow search and export , and also you could use HIK-Central as the software interface if you wanted a nice interactive piece 😊

[@NvTwist]

I’ve been racking my brain on one of the capabilities of the camera but not sure which video it was I heard it on. There was the ability for the camera to only view reflected light and not direct lighting…. If I heard right PLEASE ease my brain…. How does this feature/ability work. I not in the field at all and don’t know optics very well but I’m very curious on how this is achieved.

[@DVSLTD]

Hi and thanks for the comments, actually we can read plates in the day time with no issues, in the night we use IR LED , and we set the exposure level to quite high, this negates the headlight effect and allows us to reflect and then read the plate detail using OCR

Great tutorial. Is there a way to send the license plate number to a third party database or an outside system? (Standalone mode- Without using NVR and hikcentral)

Hi and thanks , we have some integration with Zatpark system and we have a full SDK and can use ISAPI to get the data into a 3rd party system , does that help?

Nice demonstration. I have seen your car just going at low speed probably between 20-30km/hour at night. How about the result in IR at night when the car goes at 80-100km/hour, are the numbers plates readable in same camera at high speed. Need your useful advice on that.

[@DVSLTD]

Hi , this was around 30Mph , and you can set the shutter speed depending on the vehicle speed, it will be rated up to this speed also that you require

[@YasirIslam01]

@@DVSLTD Thanks for the advice. Just saw some more videos on shutter speed after your advice. What was your shutter speed in the demo or you went with the default values and for this model camera what can we put maximum shutter speed to capture the clear number plate of a car moving on highway at a speed of 120km/hour with Infrared is ON. As this is our current requirement.

[@DVSLTD]

@@YasirIslam01 Hi , mine was set at 2000 , but you can play around with it to get the best results as each deployment can be different , can you loan one of your local HIK Rep or distributor and then you can check it works and your happy and don’t have to commit to the cost of the unit ,

se ven pocos vídeos mostrando la cámara en la oscuridad como emiten ese haz de luz roja (ir led) lo cual hace la cámara totalmente detectable y siendo fácil de inutilizar no entiendo porque no aplican leds IR de 940nm . Para mi las cámaras en cuestión fallan en que no dispone de IRled de 940nm por lo que e la oscuridad la cámara será bastante llamativa y accesible (emite una serie de luces rojas) pudiéndola destrozar o robar o inutilizarla. Las cámaras deberían llevar un sistema de IRleds que en la oscuridad no se iluminasen en el mercado ya hay modelos que utilizan leds de 940nm los cuales no emiten ningún tipo de luz en la oscuridad y por tanto hace que las cámaras pasen mejor desapercibidas, es importante que dispongan de WDR, IRCUT, P2P, codec H.265 o H.265+, conexión POE, wifi , aspectos como sensor PIR, PTZ, son cuestiones a valorar y que mejoran bastante la seguridad

[@DVSLTD]

gracias por los comentarios, este video y otros que he producido muestran el video por la noche y qué tan efectiva se vuelve esta unidad en su captura incluso con la luz intensa que se alimenta a la cámara, no estoy seguro de en qué país reside, pero el Reino Unido no tenemos el problema de que las cámaras se destruyan debido a los leds IR rojos, tenemos millones de cámaras de CCTV implementadas que serían más accesibles y, por lo tanto, destruidas por lo que está reclamando, y simplemente no, tal vez su región tenga un problema diferente, pero entonces usted necesitaría que todos los CCTV estándar sigan la misma regla, con ANPR generalmente también los ajustamos más arriba o en postes que los hacen más difíciles de acceder por naturaleza, ayudando nuevamente a resolver el problema que describió, también podemos obtener unidades con una longitud de onda de 940 nm si el proyecto lo exige, pero la distancia IR efectiva se reduce al usar esta longitud de onda, pero gracias por el comentario que apreciamos, el español no es mi lengua materna, así que disculpe si esto no está bien establecido.

@@DVSLTD bueno hay modelos de DAHUA UIR con leds de 940nm que la distancia es muy considerable y se está viendo que cada vez se está implementando más este sistema por seguridad, tenga en cuenta que en muchos sitios no se puede colocar en zonas muy alejadas o alturas determinadas.

2:08 - "Colour and make of vehicle is being worked on," and here we are in late 2022 and it is still being "worked on". Truth be told it is totally useless at detecting make. Most of your detections will be something obscure like a random truck.
