3. Product Description

3.1. Overview

The IZA500G/GR ALPR All-in-one AI Camera System is suitable for parking, car wash, access control and security applications, with different models available for different distances and illumination requirements.

LPR and overview images are captured from dual motorized zoom lenses, then processed by a fast AI GPU. Illumination can be provided from built-in multi-flash illumination or external illuminators. A variety of mounting options are also available.

It has a rugged, all-weather, IP67-compliant, waterproof housing and a protective sunshade.
