Before ordering a camera

Compatibility is more important than the product listing

Ruby ANPR needs a compatible Hikvision ANPR camera that can push number-plate events through Alarm Server, HTTP Listening or compatible ISAPI event delivery. A standard CCTV camera is not enough simply because it is made by Hikvision.

Check camera compatibility Ask about a model

Buying principle

Buy for the installation, not the badge

Check ANPR capability, firmware, focal range, PoE requirements, mounting position, network path and the event-delivery method before placing an order.
