Hikvision TandemVu ANPR · Dual 4MP · 8–32 mm + 4 mm
Hikvision iDS-2CD8A46G2-XZHSY(0832/4) — Dual-Sensor DeepinView ANPR Bullet Camera
The iDS-2CD8A46G2-XZHSY(0832/4) combines two 4MP views in one camera: an 8–32 mm motorised ANPR channel for number-plate detail and a 4 mm fixed overview channel for wider scene context. It is intended for professional car parks, gates, driveways and road-monitoring projects where an operator needs both the plate image and the surrounding vehicle event.
Hikvision’s ANPR functions can recognise number plates and vehicle attributes, while compatible Hikvision recorders or HikCentral systems can support alerts and forensic search. Capture performance depends on correct lane geometry, mounting height, shutter settings, lighting, vehicle speed and commissioning.

Frequently asked questions
Why does this camera have two lenses?
The 8–32 mm channel is framed for plate detail, while the 4 mm channel keeps a wider view of the vehicle and scene. This makes events easier to verify than a plate-only image.
Can it recognise number plates at night?
It is designed for night ANPR and uses DarkFighter 2.0 plus Smart Hybrid Light. Reliable results still depend on mounting, exposure settings, vehicle speed and the site lighting.
Does it work with any NVR?
A compatible recorder may record the video, but advanced ANPR search, lists and alerts require a supported Hikvision NVR or HikCentral configuration. Confirm compatibility before ordering.
Is the lens motorised?
The 8–32 mm ANPR lens is motorised for remote framing and focus. The 4 mm overview lens is fixed.
What is the exact SKU?
The official available-model code is iDS-2CD8A46G2-XZHSY(0832/4).
