Ubiquiti UVC-AI-LPR | AI License Plate Recognition Camera | 4K…
A specialist outdoor camera for entry points and car parks where you need to read licence plates on moving vehicles, not just record them.
Why this one
- The LPR optimisation filter captures both reflective and non-reflective plates at night within 15m IR range — standard security cameras blur plates at speed; this one is tuned to hold them sharp at up to 90 km/h.
- 3x optical zoom with a tele field of view of 35° horizontal lets you frame a lane entry tightly without losing resolution to digital crop, so the plate detail your NVR stores is actually readable.
- The 1/1.8" 8MP sensor at 4K/30fps gives you frames dense enough to pull a still from any moment in a clip — useful when a plate read is disputed and you need a single clear frame as evidence.
- PoE+ (25.5W max) means a single Cat5e run handles both power and data; at -20 to 50°C operating range it stays online through Australian summer heat as well as cold-climate sites.
Good fit if you're managing vehicle access at a car park, loading dock, gated entry or site with a boom gate where automated or manual plate matching matters more than wide-area coverage.
Worth considering something else if you need broad perimeter surveillance rather than lane-specific plate capture — the UVC-AI-PRO's 3x optical zoom covers a similar focal range but is optimised for general 4K scene detail rather than LPR, and for wide-area coverage the UVC-G6-180 or UVC-AI-360 will serve better without the LPR overhead.
What you'll also need
A UniFi Protect NVR (UNVR, UNVR-PRO, or a Dream Machine with Protect), a PoE+ capable switch or injector, outdoor-rated Cat5e or better to the mounting point, and a microSD card of at least 64GB if you want local edge storage; wall, ceiling and pole mounts are included, but a junction box or angled base requires a separate accessory if your mounting surface needs one.
