The ability to record images captured by 8 megapixel cameras is among the features of three new Wisenet Q Network Video Recorders (NVRs), from Hanwha Techwin.
The ONVIF-compliant four, eight and 16 channel PoE devices, which come with a new, intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), are the developers say suitable for virtually any small to medium size video surveillance application, such as retail, warehouse and office. Such sites do not need a high number of cameras, but users wish to have the ability to record images captured by high definition cameras, the makers add.
A dual track recording feature enables the NVRs to simultaneously record two streams of video from each connected camera at different resolutions. So operators can verify action at a remote site, this feature aids the retrieval of standard resolution images and then enables operators to then review the high resolution recorded images.
The recorders support H.265, H.264 and MJPEG compression. WiseStream II, a complementary compression technology, 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 99 per cent it is claimed compared to current H.264 compression.
As for install, engineers can remotely connect to the devices via a smartphone or tablet, without having to set up a complex network. This is done by using P2P and unique QR codes. Power over Ethernet (PoE) also reduces installation time and cost by negating the need to provide power points and separate cabling to each camera location.
The new NVRs models are:
– Wisenet QRN-420S: four channels. 1 HDD (maximum 6TB storage) with up to 40Mbps network camera recording; and four PoE ports.
– Wisenet QRN-820S: eight channels. 1 HDD (maximum 6TB storage) with up to 80Mbps network camera recording; and eight PoE ports.
– Wisenet QRN-1620S: 16 channels, two HDDs (maximum 12TB storage) with up to 128Mbps network camera recording. 16 PoE ports. Dual monitor display via HDMI and VGA outputs.
Uri Guterman, Head of Product and Marketing for Hanwha Techwin Europe said: “As is the case with all our Wisenet Q series products, there has been no compromise on the build quality or functionality of these new NVRs, even though they have an affordable price point. The dual streaming feature, for example, is particularly important when there is a requirement to record ultra-high definition images and is just one of the reasons why the NVRs truly offer customers real value.’
