Hanwha PNO-A9081RLP/KAP 4K IR Bullet Camera

The Hanwha PNO-A9081RLP/KAP is a purpose-built 4K infrared bullet camera engineered for license plate recognition (LPR) and vehicle classification at traffic intersections, parking facilities, toll plazas, and perimeter checkpoints. Integrating Wisenet Road AI analytics directly at the edge, this camera delivers real-time plate capture, Make/Model/Color recognition, and vehicle type classification without reliance on external servers—reducing bandwidth consumption and system complexity. TAA and NDAA compliant, it serves government, transportation, and critical infrastructure deployments.

Key Features

• 4K Ultra HD Resolution: 8 MP (3840×2160) sensor captures crisp, forensic-grade detail for reliable plate legibility and vehicle identification.
• Varifocal Motorized Lens: 4.5–10 mm varifocal optic with 2.2x zoom enables flexible framing at installation, supporting both wide scene context and tight plate focus without lens swap.
• Extreme Low-Light Sensitivity: 0.05 Lux @ F1.6 in color mode; 0 Lux in B/W with IR LED activation—reliable performance in parking garages, nighttime toll plazas, and dim environments.
• Day/Night with Advanced WDR: Integrated ICR (Infrared Cut-off Relay) switching, 120 dB Wide Dynamic Range, and IR illumination handle high-contrast scenes including backlit headlights, highway overpasses, and dawn/dusk transitions.
• Edge-Based AI Analytics: Wisenet Road AI enables on-camera license plate recognition, vehicle make/model/color detection, statistical dashboards, and vehicle type classification—eliminating cloud dependency.
• Efficient Compression: H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codecs with adaptive bitrate management optimize storage and bandwidth for continuous or event-triggered recording.
• Rugged Industrial Design: IP66 weatherproof rating and IK10+ impact resistance ensure outdoor durability in harsh conditions.
• PoE+ Power: 802.3at PoE+ eliminates separate power runs, simplifying cabling and installation.
• Open Platform Integration: ONVIF compliance and open platform support enable seamless VMS interoperability.

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

The PNO-A9081RLP/KAP stands out for its edge-based Wisenet Road AI engine, which processes plate recognition and vehicle attributes on-camera without off-site processing. This architecture reduces latency, minimizes bandwidth overhead, and eliminates cloud dependencies—critical for high-throughput traffic environments. The 4K sensor paired with H.265 compression and adaptive bitrate technology balances exceptional detail capture with efficient storage utilization.

Its varifocal lens and exceptional low-light performance (0.05 Lux color, 0 Lux IR) make it equally effective in daylight highway scenarios and dimly lit parking facilities. The 120 dB WDR and ICR Day/Night switching handle the challenging lighting transitions inherent to outdoor traffic monitoring. IP66 and IK10+ ratings ensure long-term outdoor reliability.

For organizations requiring on-premise LPR and vehicle classification without cloud processing, this camera delivers a robust, compliance-ready solution.
