Hanwha TNO-7180RLP 3MP High-Speed LPR IP Camera
The Hanwha TNO-7180RLP is a professional-grade license plate recognition (LPR) camera engineered for traffic enforcement, parking management, and perimeter security applications. Built on a 3MP color global shutter sensor with integrated Wisenet Road AI technology, this camera delivers real-time vehicle identification and plate recognition directly at the edge, eliminating dependency on external processing systems.
Key Features
- 3MP Color Global Shutter sensor for accurate, distortion-free LPR capture
- Motorized 6.8–120mm (18x) varifocal lens with precision zoom control
- Wisenet Road AI with LPR, vehicle detection, and make/model/color analysis
- 60fps high-speed frame rate for capturing fast-moving vehicles
- 50-meter IR illumination for 24/7 all-weather operation
- IP66 and IK10 ratings for harsh outdoor environments
- Multi-region plate recognition supporting international formats
- Allow/deny list alerts and smart search functionality
- 32GB Micro SD card included for on-device storage of up to 10,000 LPR/vehicle images
Technical Highlights
The TNO-7180RLP's global shutter sensor eliminates motion blur and rolling shutter artifacts common in standard cameras, ensuring crisp plate captures even at high speeds. The motorized varifocal lens provides operators with remote zoom and focus adjustments, enabling precise framing of target lanes or zones without physical repositioning. Supporting H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codecs, the camera optimizes bandwidth and storage utilization based on network conditions and archival requirements.
Dual power inputs—HPoE and 12VDC—provide flexible installation options in both modern IP infrastructure and legacy systems. The IP66 weatherproof enclosure and IK10 impact resistance ensure longevity in high-traffic intersections, toll plazas, and secured perimeters exposed to vibration and environmental stress.
Wisenet Road AI processes data on-board, reducing latency and cloud dependency. The allow/deny list feature enables automatic alerts when registered or flagged vehicles are detected, while smart search functionality permits rapid review of archived footage by vehicle attributes, plate number, or time range.
Applications
- Traffic law enforcement and red-light enforcement
- Parking lot and garage access control
- Toll collection and congestion pricing
- Vehicle theft recovery and border crossing surveillance
- Corporate and institutional perimeter security
- Port and logistics facility vehicle tracking

The TNO-7180RLP stands out in the LPR segment due to its combination of hardware and AI-driven software. The global shutter architecture is critical for LPR accuracy—rolling shutter sensors introduce plate distortion that degrades OCR performance. The 18x zoom range accommodates both wide-area monitoring and distant target capture in a single unit, reducing multi-camera deployment costs.
Onboard Wisenet Road AI eliminates network latency and bandwidth bottlenecks inherent to cloud-dependent solutions, making it ideal for high-throughput environments such as tollways. The included 32GB storage provides a practical buffer for edge recording, though organizations requiring extended archival should integrate with network storage systems. IP66/IK10 ratings position this camera for demanding outdoor deployments where standard consumer-grade housings fail within months.
