ZKTeco LPRC300 License Plate Recognition Camera in Dubai, UAE
A dedicated 3MP license plate recognition camera for controlled parking lanes, barrier-gate access, monthly parking operations, and vehicle-entry automation.
The LPRC300 performs plate recognition at the camera edge, keeps local vehicle lists and event records, and exposes interfaces that help integrators connect it to barriers and access-control workflows. For UAE projects, FourTeck can help buyers review lane geometry, mounting distance, regional plate-profile suitability, control interfaces, storage, software integration, and required accessories before a quote is prepared.

What is the LPRC300 and where does it fit?
The LPRC300 is a purpose-built vehicle identification camera rather than a general surveillance camera with plate reading added as an afterthought. Its core job is to detect and interpret number plates in a controlled vehicle lane, then provide the plate number, a plate image, and access time to the surrounding access or parking workflow. That makes it relevant where a business wants vehicles to be identified automatically at a gate, entrance, parking point, factory checkpoint, residential community, or other managed lane.
The camera contains its own dual-core processing platform with 0.5 TOPS capability and an embedded deep-learning recognition algorithm. It can keep local allowlist and blocklist records, monthly-parking entries, captured images, and entry/exit records. For some deployments this reduces dependence on a continuously connected server for basic lane decisions. For larger projects, its networking, push capability, Wiegand, RS485, relay outputs, AUX I/O, and barrier-status input provide multiple integration paths into a wider vehicle-access design.
A buyer should view the camera as one part of a complete entrance system. Reliable plate recognition depends on more than the camera specification. Lane width, vehicle approach angle, mounting height, recognition distance, lighting, vehicle speed, local plate style, barrier timing, network design, and software configuration all influence the finished result. ZKTeco lists a 3 to 10 metre recognition distance and recommends 3 to 5 metres, while the current global product data lists vehicle speeds up to 20 km/h. Those figures are useful design boundaries, not a substitute for a site survey.
For UAE buyers, one additional point deserves early confirmation: the camera’s plate-recognition region or firmware profile must match the plates used at the intended site. Manufacturer region lists can differ by product release and local firmware, so buyers should not assume that a camera sourced for one country will automatically recognise every plate format. FourTeck can help review the model, intended lane, software environment, required barrier connection, quantity, delivery location, and support expectations before procurement.
The result is a product that can suit businesses that want automated vehicle identification without building the entire recognition process around a separate computer. It is especially relevant when the project needs a dedicated outdoor camera with local lists, fast recognition, gate-control interfaces, and recorded plate events in a single device.
Key business benefits for controlled vehicle access
The main value of a dedicated LPR camera is operational: it can reduce manual plate checking, make authorised-vehicle handling more consistent, and give access systems structured plate events that are easier to review than ordinary video alone.
Turns the number plate into an access credential
Instead of asking a driver to present a card, ticket, or tag at every entry, the system can use the vehicle plate as an identification point. That can improve flow at regular-user entrances such as staff parking, residential access, factory gates, and subscription parking. It also creates a clear event containing plate number, image, and time, which supports later review when access activity needs to be checked.
Recognition happens inside the camera
The embedded processing platform runs the recognition logic at the edge. This can simplify smaller parking arrangements and reduce the amount of raw video that must be sent elsewhere simply to identify a plate. The camera can also store operational records locally, giving integrators flexibility in how the overall solution is designed.
Interfaces support real access-control workflows
Two relays, RS485, AUX I/O, barrier-status input, and Wiegand in/out make the camera easier to place inside a practical entrance design. These interfaces matter because recognition alone does not move a barrier; the complete project must connect identification, decision logic, gate equipment, safety devices, and event management.
Useful for recurring parking users and controlled lists
The camera supports a 1,000-entry allowlist, a 1,000-entry blocklist, and up to 8,000 monthly-parking records. For a controlled site, this provides a practical basis for regular vehicle management without forcing every decision to depend on a remote database. The right architecture still depends on the number of users, required audit history, central management needs, and integration with software.
Designed for exposed entrance points
IP65 protection, a listed operating range from -30°C to 70°C, and up to 90% operating humidity make the housing suitable for many outdoor entry environments. Installation quality remains important: mounting, power protection, cable routing, enclosure sealing, sun angle, and physical protection should be planned for the specific site.
Multiple network and software paths
TCP/IP, RTSP, ZKTeco, P2P, and PUSH protocols are listed for communication. ZKTeco also documents SDK support for third-party development. That is useful where a site needs the camera to interact with existing software, but API scope, firmware compatibility, event format, and support ownership should be confirmed before a custom integration is committed.
What stands out in the LPRC300 specification?
Three areas define this model: dedicated plate recognition at the edge, a camera/lens combination designed for a controlled lane, and access-control interfaces that make the recognition result actionable. The current manufacturer data lists day recognition accuracy of at least 98% and night accuracy of at least 95%, with recognition speed of 100 milliseconds or less. Real installations still depend heavily on plate visibility, speed, mounting, illumination, weather, and the correct regional recognition profile.
The 1/2.8-inch 3MP CMOS sensor can output up to 2304 × 1296, while the autofocus lens covers 3.2 mm to 11.1 mm. This adjustable optical range helps an installer frame the recognition zone correctly rather than relying on a fixed field of view. H.264, H.265, and MJPEG compression are supported, alongside frame rates up to 25 fps. Local SD storage starts at 8GB and supports up to 128GB, which can help retain captured evidence depending on project settings and retention requirements.

Choosing the correct configuration is less about selecting a different sensor and more about confirming the recognition profile, SD capacity, trigger method, control interfaces, mounting position, and software architecture. If the lane is intended for fast-moving traffic, the listed speed boundary should be treated seriously. If the site uses a barrier, determine whether the project will use direct relay logic, a parking controller, a management platform, or another access-control component. For local evidence retention, consider how many events are expected each day and whether the default 8GB card is sufficient. For integration, confirm network addressing, event protocol, SDK requirements, and the exact software version before installation begins.
Configuration and buyer guidance
For an LPR project, the highest-risk purchase mistake is ordering the camera before confirming the lane and plate environment. A technically correct model can still perform poorly if the vehicle approaches at the wrong angle, the plate occupies too little of the image, the firmware profile does not match the local plate format, or the barrier logic is not planned.
Will the camera recognise the required plate format?
Confirm the target country or plate library, firmware profile, and any licensing or regional activation requirement. This is particularly important for UAE deployments because manufacturer region lists can vary between releases.
Match the lane geometry
Measure the expected camera-to-plate distance, mounting height, approach angle, lane width, and vehicle stopping point. The manufacturer recommends 3 to 5 metres inside the wider 3 to 10 metre recognition range.
Define gate and safety logic
Decide how the plate event will trigger the barrier, what happens when recognition fails, how visitors are handled, and which safety sensor prevents the boom arm from lowering onto a vehicle or pedestrian.
Review software integration
If the camera will connect to ZKTeco software or a third-party application, confirm software version, network topology, protocol, SDK scope, event format, and who will be responsible for integration support.
Estimate records and storage
Compare expected daily vehicle movements with the local record and image capacities. Determine whether 8GB storage is enough or whether a larger supported SD card and central retention are needed.
Confirm project accessories
Power supply, surge protection, mounting hardware, network cabling, loop detector, barrier gate, safety radar or photocells, cabinet equipment, and software may all sit outside the camera itself. Include them in the bill of materials when relevant.
For a useful FourTeck quote, send the model, quantity, city, lane count, expected vehicle speed, required plate region, whether a barrier is already installed, software requirements, preferred trigger method, and any installation or warranty expectations. This gives the sales and technical team enough context to identify missing components before a purchase order is issued.
Ideal business use cases
This camera is strongest in controlled, predictable vehicle lanes where plate capture can be engineered rather than left to chance. It is not a substitute for a high-speed roadway enforcement system.
Staff, tenant, and subscriber parking entrances
Recurring users are a natural fit because allowlists and monthly-parking records can be used to identify authorised vehicles at a predictable gate. A well-designed lane can reduce the need for drivers to stop and present a physical credential every time. The site should still have a fallback process for changed plates, temporary vehicles, visitors, damaged plates, or recognition failures.
Factory and logistics compound gates
Factories often need a consistent record of vehicle movements at controlled entrances. The camera can support identification and event capture while a separate gate workflow decides access. For truck-heavy environments, mounting distance, plate height variation, traffic speed, dust, lighting, and physical protection need careful review.
Residential communities
Villa communities and apartment parking entrances can use plate recognition to streamline resident access. Visitor management remains a separate policy decision: temporary plates may need pre-registration, reception approval, intercom confirmation, or another credential depending on the building’s operating model.
Commercial buildings and offices
Office car parks can use LPR to identify staff vehicles and generate a clearer vehicle-access trail. Integration with a barrier and central access platform can make the workflow more manageable, particularly where multiple user groups have different parking rights or access schedules.
Government and controlled facilities
A structured allowlist/blocklist process can support controlled entrances where only registered vehicles should pass. The camera should be treated as one layer of the security design rather than the only control. Site policy may also require guards, visitor verification, anti-tailgating measures, or additional vehicle inspection.
Managed paid or monthly parking
The local monthly-parking capacity makes the model relevant to subscription-style parking. A complete paid-parking solution may require ticketing, fee calculation, payment, central software, barrier control, occupancy logic, or customer-account functions beyond the camera’s own role.
ZKTeco LPRC300 Edge Recognition and Lane Performance
The camera’s recognition engine runs locally on a 0.5 TOPS platform, which means the device can process plate information without sending every frame to an external computer for interpretation. The manufacturer lists recognition speed at 100 ms or less, day accuracy at 98% or higher, and night accuracy at 95% or higher. These are meaningful figures for controlled access, but they should be interpreted as system capabilities under suitable conditions rather than guaranteed results at every site.
The most important practical factor is how much of the image the plate occupies and how consistently the vehicle passes through the designed capture zone. A wide approach angle, headlights directly into the camera, dirty or damaged plates, excessive speed, poor focus, wrong exposure, and an incorrect regional plate profile can all reduce recognition reliability. Project commissioning should therefore include real test vehicles in both daytime and night conditions.
ZKTeco LPRC300 Access-Control Integration
Recognition becomes useful only when the plate event can trigger or inform a wider entrance-control process. The LPRC300 includes the physical interfaces typically needed around a barrier lane: two relays, RS485, AUX I/O, barrier-status input, and Wiegand in/out. Network communication includes 10/100Mbps TCP/IP, RTSP, ZKTeco protocol, P2P, and PUSH. ZKTeco also states that an SDK is available for third-party integration.
A buyer planning integration with an existing building-management or parking platform should request the relevant interface documentation early. Confirm whether the system needs only a gate-open signal, plate events in software, live video, central allowlist administration, visitor handling, payment integration, or a full audit trail. Those requirements determine whether the camera can be used directly or should sit behind a dedicated parking or access-control platform.
ZKTeco LPRC300 Imaging, Storage, and Outdoor Deployment
The imaging subsystem combines a 3MP CMOS sensor with an autofocus lens adjustable from 3.2 mm to 11.1 mm. That range gives installers room to frame the plate region for different mounting positions while staying within the camera’s designed recognition distance. Multiple resolutions and H.264, H.265, and MJPEG compression provide flexibility for recording and integration, while local SD storage supports up to 128GB.
Installation decision checklist
- Place the capture zone where vehicles are predictable and within the recommended distance.
- Confirm the plate remains large enough and sufficiently straight in the image.
- Plan for day, night, glare, headlights, shade, and reflective plate behaviour.
- Use appropriate outdoor power, surge protection, grounding, and cable management.
- Choose SD capacity based on retention policy rather than maximum card size alone.
- Protect the installation from impact, tampering, water ingress through cabling, and extreme sun exposure.
IP65 indicates resistance to dust and water jets, but a successful outdoor project still depends on professional mounting and electrical practice. The listed operating range of -30°C to 70°C is broad, yet direct solar heating, poorly ventilated cabinets, and unstable power can create conditions outside the camera’s expected environment. For UAE sites, discuss the exact mounting location and exposure before finalising the installation design.
What Buyers Should Check Before Purchase
The biggest project risk is assuming that an LPR camera is plug-and-play. Plate profile, lane geometry, barrier logic, network integration, storage, safety hardware, and software ownership all need to be agreed before the camera is ordered.
Correct Model and Plate Profile
Confirm that the exact firmware or regional version supports the plate format used at the site. Do not choose only by model name. If your project needs UAE plate recognition, ask for explicit confirmation of the recognition profile before purchase and commissioning.
Compatibility and Accessories
Check the existing barrier controller, loop detector, safety sensor, power supply, cabling, network switch, software, and mounting arrangement. Confirm whether relay, Wiegand, RS485, or network integration will be used and which component owns the final access decision.
Availability and Warranty Expectations
Availability can change with supplier status, regional version, quantity, and project timing. Warranty handling may also depend on sourcing channel and supplied package. Ask FourTeck to confirm current commercial terms for the requested quantity before committing the project schedule.
Quote Preparation
Provide quantity, lane count, delivery location, target date, expected vehicle speed, required plate region, existing barrier model, desired software, network constraints, installation scope, and support expectations. A complete request helps identify dependencies that a simple camera-only quotation can miss.
Buyers also commonly ask whether the camera can operate offline. The answer is yes for suitable workflows: ZKTeco documents local allowlist and blocklist import through a web browser, with captured pictures and recordings stored on the camera. However, offline capability does not automatically replace central parking software where the site needs multi-lane synchronisation, complex visitor rules, payment, reporting, or central user administration. Similarly, a larger SD card increases local storage potential but should not be treated as the only retention plan for a site that requires long-term evidence or compliance-driven record keeping.
Another frequent question is whether the model suits high-speed entry roads. The current manufacturer parameter page lists adaptable vehicle speed up to 20 km/h, so this is best treated as a controlled-lane product. If vehicles cannot be slowed into a predictable approach, a different camera or traffic design may be more appropriate. FourTeck can help compare the requirement with alternative ZKTeco vehicle-management options instead of forcing one model into an unsuitable lane.
Buying support for Dubai and UAE projects
FourTeck supports inquiries for vehicle-access and surveillance projects across the UAE with product-selection assistance, configuration review, quotation support, delivery coordination, and warranty guidance. Availability may vary by regional version, supplier status, quantity, and project timing, so the safest purchasing approach is to confirm the exact requirement rather than assuming a particular variant is immediately available.
Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Ajman project coverage
Businesses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, and other UAE locations can contact FourTeck for LPR camera sourcing, configuration review, and project quotation support. The same model can be used in very different environments, so FourTeck’s role is to help buyers turn a product request into a practical bill of materials. A single-lane office car park may need only a camera, barrier interface, safety input, network connection, and basic management workflow, while a multi-lane site can require central software, multiple barriers, loop detectors, safety devices, managed switching, cabinets, UPS protection, and integration services. Share the site location and lane count so delivery and project requirements can be reviewed together.
GCC and Africa inquiry support
FourTeck also supports business technology inquiries across selected GCC and Africa markets through regional platforms and inquiry channels. Projects in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Kenya, Uganda, and other markets can have different recognition profiles, import routes, delivery conditions, warranty arrangements, and local installation requirements. Because license plate formats differ by country, the exact camera version or recognition library should always be confirmed for the deployment region.
For regional requirements, buyers can use FourTeck UAE, FourTeck Kenya, FourTeck Uganda, FourTeck Africa, or FourTeck Kuwait as relevant. Current supply and support scope should be confirmed for the destination country and project quantity.
Other options buyers may consider
A camera-only request may not be the best final design. Depending on the lane, buyers may need an integrated LPR terminal, a different recognition camera, a barrier gate, or a safety sensor. The options below are useful starting points for a ZKTeco vehicle-access bill of materials; final compatibility should be confirmed for the exact project.
ZKTeco E-LPRC500
Consider when the project needs a different ZKTeco LPR camera platform or regional feature set. Compare recognition region, speed, interfaces, and software support before substitution.
ZKTeco LPRS1000
Useful to review when an integrated license-plate-recognition machine is more appropriate than a separate camera and supporting components.
ZKTeco CMP200 Barrier Gate
A barrier option to assess when the camera is part of an automated entrance lane.
ZKTeco VR10 Pro
A vehicle and pedestrian safety radar option for compatible barrier projects where anti-collision logic is required.
Project design assistance
If the existing barrier, loop, network, or software environment is unclear, start with a requirement review rather than choosing accessories independently.
Why business buyers contact FourTeck
Vehicle-access projects cross several disciplines: cameras, barriers, access logic, networking, electrical installation, safety, software, and operational policy. FourTeck’s value is not based on making unsupported claims about stock or lowest price; it is based on helping business buyers define what needs to be supplied and what should be confirmed before procurement.
Common questions about the LPRC300
What is the ZKTeco LPRC300 used for?
It is used to recognise vehicle license plates in controlled parking and access lanes. Typical applications include staff parking, residential entrances, factory gates, commercial car parks, and other locations where the plate can serve as a vehicle identifier. The camera can output the plate number, plate image, and access time, then interact with barrier or access-control logic through its available interfaces.
What recognition distance should an installer plan for?
ZKTeco lists a recognition distance of 3 to 10 metres and recommends 3 to 5 metres. The recommended range is a better starting point for lane design because it gives the installer more control over plate size and viewing angle. Actual placement should also consider mounting height, lane width, vehicle approach, lighting, focus, and the physical position at which the car slows or stops.
Can the LPRC300 work without a central server?
For suitable local workflows, yes. ZKTeco documents local allowlist and blocklist import through a web browser, plus onboard storage for captured pictures and records. However, sites that need multi-lane synchronisation, central visitor management, payment, complex reporting, or large-scale user administration may still require management software or another controller. Offline operation should therefore be assessed against the actual operating process.
Does it support UAE license plates?
Regional plate support should be confirmed before purchase. ZKTeco’s current global supported-region list names a range of countries, including Saudi Arabia, but the exact plate library can vary by firmware or regional version. For a UAE deployment, ask FourTeck to confirm the appropriate recognition profile and sourcing route rather than assuming every LPRC300 variant has the same local plate support.
Can it control a parking barrier?
The camera provides two relays, barrier-status input, RS485, AUX I/O, and Wiegand interfaces, so it can participate in barrier-control designs. The exact logic depends on the project. Some systems use direct relay output, while others let a parking controller or central software decide when to open the barrier. Safety hardware should also be included so gate movement is not based on plate recognition alone.
What storage does the camera support?
The manufacturer lists 8GB SD storage by default and support up to 128GB. The camera can store captured pictures and event data locally. The correct card size depends on how many vehicles pass the lane, recording settings, image retention, and whether a central system also stores events. For compliance-sensitive environments, define the retention policy first and size local and central storage accordingly.
Can the LPRC300 integrate with third-party software?
ZKTeco states that an SDK is available for the LPRC300 and lists network protocols including TCP/IP, RTSP, ZKTeco, P2P, and PUSH. Third-party integration should still be planned as a technical project. Confirm the required event data, API or SDK functions, software version, network ports, authentication method, and support responsibility before development work starts.
Is the camera suitable for outdoor installation in the UAE?
The housing is rated IP65 and ZKTeco lists an operating temperature range from -30°C to 70°C with humidity up to 90%. Those specifications support many outdoor installations, but site conditions still matter. Direct sun, heat accumulation, dust, cable entry, surge risk, mounting stability, and physical impact should all be considered. Professional installation and suitable power protection are recommended for exposed vehicle entrances.
How do I request a quotation from FourTeck?
Send the required quantity, delivery location, lane count, expected vehicle speed, plate region, existing barrier model, preferred software, installation scope, and target date. If you do not yet know the exact accessories, describe how the entrance should operate. FourTeck can then help review the requirement, identify configuration questions, check current availability, and prepare a more useful project quotation.
Need Help Designing the Right LPR Lane?
FourTeck can review the intended vehicle flow, plate region, lane count, recognition distance, barrier interface, software requirement, storage, quantity, delivery location, and support expectations before preparing a quote. This helps reduce the risk of missing accessories or choosing a regional configuration that does not match the site.
Share the model, quantity, required plate region, lane details, existing barrier equipment, software preference, delivery location, and target use.
