Hanwha XNO-6120R/LPR B1 2MP License Plate Recognition Bullet Camera

The Hanwha XNO-6120R/LPR B1 is a 2 MP fixed bullet network camera purpose-built for low-speed license plate recognition (LPR) deployments in outdoor surveillance environments. Engineered for parking lots, drive-thru lanes, and entry gates where vehicles travel up to 35 MPH, this camera combines 12x optical zoom precision with integrated infrared night vision and industrial-grade weatherproofing to deliver reliable plate capture across variable lighting conditions and extended temperature ranges.

Key Features

• 12x Optical Zoom Lens (5.2mm–62.4mm): Delivers precise framing and focal control for accurate plate capture across varied standoff distances without digital image degradation.
• 2 MP Full HD Resolution at 60 fps: Captures 1920×1080 video at 60 frames per second, ensuring smooth motion rendering for moving vehicles and sufficient frame rate for reliable plate read accuracy.
• Triple Video Codec Support (H.265/H.264/MJPEG): Flexible compression with H.265 for bandwidth efficiency, H.264 for broad VMS compatibility, and MJPEG for motion-heavy surveillance scenarios.
• Integrated IR Low-Light Capability: Built-in infrared illumination enables 24/7 LPR performance with 1.5m IR distance, critical for nighttime and low-visibility deployments.
• Wide Dynamic Range (WDR): Advanced 150 dB WDR technology balances bright sunlit environments with shadow detail, essential for plate legibility when vehicles transition between sun and shade.
• Industrial Durability: IP67 weatherproofing and IK10 vandal rating ensure reliable operation in harsh outdoor conditions with extended operating temperature range of -40°C to +55°C.

Technical Specifications

• Power: Power over Ethernet (PoE) Class 3 eliminates separate power runs and simplifies installation.
• Network Connectivity: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and USB support for flexible deployment options.
• Day/Night Capability: Automatic day/night switching with IR illumination for continuous operation.
• Storage: MicroSD card support for local video backup and edge recording.
• VMS Compatibility: ONVIF Profile S/T, Hanwha Wisenet X, and Milestone Interconnect integration for seamless system deployment.
• Security: HTTPS encryption for secure data transmission.

Ideal Applications

• Parking facility entrance and exit gate monitoring
• Drive-thru and toll lane vehicle identification
• Perimeter access control at commercial and industrial sites
• Law enforcement and traffic enforcement deployments
• Fleet and asset management operations

The XNO-6120R/LPR B1 addresses a specific surveillance gap: reliable license plate capture in outdoor environments without the cost and complexity of dedicated LPR systems. The 12x optical zoom is critical—it allows wide scene framing during vehicle approach while maintaining tight plate composition for OCR processing. The 60 fps frame rate ensures no motion blur during high-speed approaches, directly improving read accuracy.

WDR is non-negotiable for LPR: vehicles under canopies or transitioning between shadow and sunlight will present extreme lighting contrasts. The 150 dB WDR specification ensures the camera maintains plate detail in both scenarios. H.265 codec support is valuable for high-frame-rate recording—60 fps video consumes significant bandwidth, and H.265 typically halves that requirement compared to H.264.

The IK10 vandal rating and IP67 weatherproofing are appropriate for outdoor gate/parking deployments where equipment faces exposure and potential tampering. PoE Class 3 power (maximum 30W) is sufficient for this form factor and enables quick pole or wall installation without running separate power infrastructure.

Compatibility with ONVIF and Milestone makes this camera integrable into existing enterprise VMS environments, reducing deployment friction for organizations with established surveillance platforms.
