New Wisenet network video recorders (NVRs), which offer up to 400Mbps network camera recording, are able to read the AI metadata, enabling operators to search video for objects and attributes associated to them.
Introduced at the same time as the 64 channel XRN-6410B4 and sharing the same features, the Wisenet XRN-3210B4 has 32 channels, while the 64 channel XRN-6410DB4 NVR also comes with a dual switched-mode power supply (SMPS), for continuity of recording for mission-critical applications.
The three NVRs work with all Wisenet AI cameras which have license-free Deep Learning AI video analytics. The analytics simultaneously detects and classifies various object types, including people, vehicles, faces and license plates, and is supported by Wisenet AI algorithms. Unique to Hanwha Techwin, these identify the attributes of objects or people, such as age group, gender or colour of clothing worn. The attributes are saved as metadata on the NVRs alongside the images captured by the cameras, enabling users to search for specific objects or incidents. The algorithms are even able to recognise if a person is wearing glasses or holding a bag.
Together, the NVRs and AI cameras allow businesses, and in particular retail, to capture and analyse business intelligence, which will enable them to review customer demographics and improve the customer experience. As AI can handle busy and dynamic scenes, it is much more suitable for retail than traditional video analytics, the product company suggests.
WiseStream II
In addition to H.265, H.264 and MJPEG, the new NVRs support WiseStream II, a complementary compression technology, unique to Hanwha Techwin, which dynamically controls encoding, balancing quality and compression, according to movement in the image. When WiseStream II is combined with H.265 compression, bandwidth efficiency is improved by up to 75% compared to current H.264 technology.
As for installation, engineers can remotely connect to the NVRs via a smartphone or tablet without having to set up a complex network, by using P2P and unique QR product codes. The NVRs can be configured to match a user’s requirements via an updated Wisenet user interface, and with a new installation Wizard.
If communication between one of the NVRs and a Wisenet camera with an SD card is disrupted, Automatic Recovery Back-up (ARB) will facilitate the transfer and storage of the images stored on the SD card when the network connection is restored. This provides continuity of recording.
Other features include:
– 16 HHD bays enable up to 160 TB of data to be recorded and stored onboard in non-RAID mode. RAID-5 and 6 support (8 HDDs x 2 array).
– Wisenet camera compatibility with support for 4K, 8K, thermal imaging, PTZ and multi-sensor models.
– Dual HDMI display outputs.
– Simultaneous playback on all channels.
– New graphical display which provides operators with a wide range of practical features, including ‘Instant’, timeline and event thumbnail preview.
– Event push notifications to smartphones.
– ONVIF Profile S conformant.
Uri Guterman, Head of Product and Marketing for Hanwha Techwin Europe, said: “Our AI cameras, supported by these new NVRs, are allowing us to offer future-proof video security solutions that deliver a level of functionality which would have been difficult to imagine just a few years ago. They are a clear demonstration of Hanwha Techwin’s commitment to harness the power of AI technology and in doing so, enable our customers to achieve maximum value from their video surveillance systems.”
