ANPR Wiegand Output

[dturtill]

Morning all I have a DS-2CD4A25FWD-IZS I have been looking to integrate it with my Paxton system to automate access to the car park I have found a document but it seems to reference DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZS I assume this is the newer model ANPR camera is there anyway I can link my old one or will I have to purchase a new one

Hikvision's 4A25 & 4A26 cameras are essentially the same thing; one was (in its native state) a LightFighter, the other a DarkFighter - you could load ANPR firmware onto either to convert them to become a specilaist ANPR camera.

thanks getting a firmware upgrade file mismatch < the camera is already using ANPR firmware but can't find the option the guide mentions

 

[Phil]

What firmware version are you currently running?
Where did you find newer firmware?

 

[dturtill]

V5.4.5 build 170302 obtained via Hik monthly


the newer firmware was found here ftp://ftp.hikvision.com/ANPR/ but it references the newer model

 

[Phil]

AFAIK V5.4.5 is the latest applicable to your model

Your link is to a newer model - they now factory-ship an ANPR-ready camera (designated -P)

thanks looks like I may need to order a new model for this project
