UniFi Protect — NDAA Compliant UniFi 4K LPR ANPR

UniFi Protect AI LPR — 4K Licence Plate Reader Camera with 3× Optical Zoom (UVC-AI-LPR)

The Ubiquiti UniFi Protect AI LPR (UVC-AI-LPR) is a purpose-built licence-plate recognition (ANPR) camera. Tuned for capturing plates on vehicles moving at up to 90 km/h, it pairs a 4K 8MP sensor with 3× optical zoom, a dedicated LPR night-optimisation filter, and long-range IR — so plates stay sharp and readable day or night. On-device AI also detects people, vehicles, and animals, and the whole camera records to UniFi Protect with no subscription. IP66 weatherproof and rated to −20°C, it's built for driveways, gates, car parks, and access points across Australia, with genuine Ubiquiti stock and fast Australia-wide shipping.

Why Choose the AI LPR?

Built for Licence Plates

A specialised LPR/ANPR camera optimised to capture readable plates on vehicles travelling at up to 90 km/h — far more reliable than a general-purpose camera.

3× Optical Zoom

A motorised lens (4.1–12.3 mm) with 3× optical zoom lets you frame the exact lane or lane width you need to capture plates at distance.

LPR Night Optimisation

A dedicated LPR night-mode filter plus long-range IR (up to 15 m capture) keeps reflective plates legible after dark without blowing out the image.

4K Detail & Smart Detection

A 1/1.8″ 8MP sensor records 4K at 30 FPS, and on-device AI also flags people, vehicles, and animals alongside plate capture.

Tough, All-Weather Build

An aluminium-alloy IP66 body with IK04 impact resistance and a −20 to 50°C range — engineered for exposed roadside and gate installs.

Single-Cable PoE+ & UniFi Protect

One PoE+ cable powers and connects the camera, with a microSD slot and full management through UniFi Protect — no subscription required.

NDAA Compliant

Fully NDAA Section 889 compliant for government, defence, and security-sensitive installations.
