Vivotek IP9165 LPCKIT H2 v2 2MP Outdoor High Speed License Plate Capture Kit

Vivotek IP9165 LPCKIT H2 v2 2MP License Plate Capture Kit

The Vivotek IP9165 LPCKIT H2 v2 is a professional-grade outdoor license plate recognition (LPR) system engineered for high-speed vehicle capture at highways, toll booths, and border crossings. This 2MP kit delivers sharp, detailed license plate imagery at speeds up to 60 MPH, combining precision optics with advanced infrared illumination to ensure reliable capture in diverse lighting conditions.

Key Features

• 2 Megapixel resolution for clear, detailed plate identification
• High-speed capture up to 60 MPH with 1/1,000 to 1/10,000 second shutter speeds
• Capture range up to 35 meters; optimized 10–20 meter working distance
• 48W AI 109 infrared illuminator with remote-controlled 10°–30° beam angle
• Intelligent IR threshold: on at 300 lux, off at 600 lux with RS485 configurability
• H.265 video compression with support for 3 simultaneous streams at 60 fps
• IP68 weatherproof and IK10 vandal-proof housing
• Supports 1 lane (roadside) or 2 lanes (gantry) at 3.5–4 meter widths per lane
• Extended operating temperature range: –20°C to 60°C with optional cold-start heater
• Multiple event triggers: motion detection, audio, tampering, and cybersecurity alerts

Technical Highlights

This kit operates on AC 24V or DC 24V power with maximum consumption of 110W, making it suitable for diverse installation environments. The remote focus i-CS lens system enables precise focus adjustment without on-site visits. Built-in five-window motion detection and comprehensive event logging support integration with traffic management and law enforcement systems. Anti-overexposure controls and configurable white balance ensure consistent plate legibility across varying lighting scenarios.

Network connectivity includes 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet with PoE support, plus RS485, digital I/O, and audio connections. The camera supports RTSP/RTP streaming, HTTPS/SSL encryption, and major protocols (DHCP, DNS, NTP, SNMP) for secure, reliable deployment. Web browser access via Chrome or Internet Explorer enables remote live viewing for up to 10 simultaneous clients.

Storage and alerting options include local SD card recording with life expectancy tracking, plus email, FTP/SFTP, HTTP, and NAS notifications. The system meets international safety standards: CE, FCC, UL/CUL, and regional certifications (VCCI, C Tick, BIS, BSMI).

Applications

• Highway toll collection and traffic law enforcement
• Border crossing vehicle identification
• Parking lot and facility access control
• Red-light and speed enforcement
• Fleet and logistics asset tracking

Ted Perry

The IP9165 LPCKIT H2 v2 represents a mature, field-proven LPR solution from Vivotek. Its key strength lies in the combination of adaptive infrared illumination, intelligent shutter control (up to 1/32,000 sec maximum), and H.265 compression—reducing bandwidth overhead critical in high-throughput installations. The dual-lane gantry option and RS485 configurability enable flexible deployments from single-direction highways to complex toll plazas.

The IK10 vandal rating and IP68 sealing justify outdoor use in harsh environments, while the optional cold-start heater extends reliable operation into sub-zero conditions. Event-driven architecture and multi-protocol support (SNMP, HTTP, email) simplify integration into existing traffic management and security frameworks. For organizations requiring proven, standards-compliant LPR capture, this kit provides reliable performance without unnecessary complexity.
