Hanwha Techwin has added 2 and 5 megapixel box cameras to its Wisenet Q series. The 2 megapixel Wisenet QNB-6002 supersedes the Wisenet QNB-6000, while the 5 megapixel Wisenet QNB-8002 is new.
The two H.265 cameras come with an Open Platform chipset which lets users select edge-based specialist applications developed by Hanwha Techwin’s technology partners. The cameras also feature a suite of Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA), which includes Tampering, Directional Detection, Defocus Detection, Virtual Line, Enter/Exit and Motion Detection. Other features include:
– Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), which performs at up to 120dB to produce images from scenes containing a mix of bright and dark areas.
– Smart Video Compression: A choice of H.265, H.264 or MJPEG compression, withWiseStream II, a complementary compression technology which dynamically controls encoding, balancing quality and compression, according to movement in the image. Bandwidth efficiency is improved by up to 99 per cent it is claimed compared to H.264 technology when WiseStream II is combined with H.265 compression. As such, WiseStream II reduces the total cost of ownership of a video surveillance system by minimising the storage and bandwidth requirements of high definition cameras.
– An SD/SDHC/SDXC memory slot which allows up to 128GB of video or data to be stored at the edge should there be disruption to the network. Video evidence, which might have been lost, can therefore be retrieved when the network connection has been restored.
– Power over Ethernet (PoE) support. This saves time and reduces installations costs, as it negates the need to run separate cabling and install a power supply at each camera location.
Uri Guterman, Head of Product & Marketing for Hanwha Techwin Europe, said: “As is the case with all affordable Wisenet Q series cameras, there has been no compromise on the feature set or build quality of these new cameras. They have been introduced in response to feedback from customers who wish to continue to enjoy the benefits of working with a trusted brand but require a keenly priced option for video surveillance applications which require a high number of cameras.”
