UNIVIEW LPR LIGHTHUNTER 8MP 8MM – 32MM

UNIVIEW LPR LIGHTHUNTER 8MP 8MM – 32MM

The LPR LIGHTHUNTER 8MP 8MM – 32MM from UNIVIEW is a licence plate recognition camera for CCTV systems. It combines 8 megapixel resolution with a lens range of 8mm to 32mm, so it can be matched to different viewing distances and scene widths.

LPR cameras are used where vehicles need to be identified automatically. Typical sites include car parks, gated entrances, residential estates, business parks and access-controlled yards. A clear, high-resolution image of the number plate helps operators and software read plates reliably and keep a record of vehicle movements.

As part of the UNIVIEW LPR camera range, this model is intended for integration into a wider CCTV or access setup. The lens range gives installers flexibility when positioning the camera relative to the road, lane or gate it covers. The 8 megapixel sensor provides more detail than standard lower resolution cameras, which can be useful when plates are viewed at an angle or at a distance.

The article code indicates an infrared version. Infrared illumination is helpful when a camera must capture images at night or in low light, where visible light alone may not be enough to show a plate clearly.

If you are planning a new installation or upgrading an existing system, check the viewing distance, the lane or gate width and the lighting conditions at the site. These factors determine which lens setting and mounting height will give the best results. The product is well suited to customers who need dependable plate capture as part of a managed vehicle access or monitoring solution.

UNIVIEW LPR LIGHTHUNTER 8MP 8MM – 32MM

The UNIVIEW LPR LIGHTHUNTER 8MP 8MM – 32MM is a licence plate recognition (LPR) camera designed for CCTV installations that need to read vehicle registration plates. It sits in the LPR Cameras range within the wider CCTV category and is a practical choice for sites where vehicles must be identified as they enter, leave or pass a monitored point.

Automatic plate recognition relies on a sharp, well-lit image of the plate. This camera offers 8 megapixel resolution, which gives more pixel detail than standard CCTV cameras. The 8mm to 32mm lens range allows the camera to be set up for different distances and fields of view, from a close entrance to a longer approach lane.

Key features

  • 8 megapixel (8MP) image resolution
  • Lens range of 8mm to 32mm
  • Designed for licence plate recognition (LPR) applications
  • Part of the UNIVIEW LPR camera range
  • Article code indicates an infrared (IR) version
  • Suitable for integration into CCTV and vehicle access systems

Typical uses

This camera is intended for sites where vehicle identification is needed. Common applications include:

  • Car parks and parking management
  • Gated residential estates and communities
  • Business park and office site entrances
  • Yards, depots and loading areas with controlled vehicle access
  • Lanes and roads where vehicle movements should be recorded

Choosing the right setup

The lens range gives installers room to adjust the view, but the result depends on the site. Before installing, consider the distance from the camera to the plate, the width of the lane or gate, the approach angle and the lighting. Plates that are seen at a steep angle or at long range are harder to read, so mounting height and position matter. The 8 megapixel resolution helps capture more detail, which supports reliable reading across a wider area.

Night and low-light operation

The article code points to an infrared version. Infrared illumination can support image capture when ambient light is low, such as at night or in shaded entrances. Where possible, check the site lighting and any headlight glare from passing vehicles, as these can affect plate readability.

Integration and planning

LPR cameras are usually part of a larger system. Plan how the camera will connect to your recording or management software, how footage will be stored and who will review the plate data. Consider the number of lanes or access points that need coverage, and whether one camera or several are required for the site layout.

For a successful installation, it is good practice to test the camera on site before final mounting. Adjust the focus, angle and lens setting while viewing live footage, and confirm that plates can be read at typical vehicle speeds and approach angles. Document the settings so that they can be restored after maintenance.

Who this product suits

This camera suits installers, facilities managers and security integrators who need a dedicated LPR camera with 8 megapixel resolution and an adjustable 8mm to 32mm lens. It is most useful where automatic vehicle identification adds value, such as controlled access, parking enforcement and site security records.
