The Wisenet XNF-9010RV and XNF-9010RVM 12 megapixel fisheye cameras are the latest additions to the range of Wisenet X cameras with Hanwha Techwin’s proprietary Wisenet7 chipset.
That chipset is UL Cybersecurity Assurance Program (UL CAP) certificated, for IP network video surveillance with cyber security, the product company says. Wisenet7 also ensures the two new fisheye cameras, which have built in IR (infra-red) lighting, are able to capture images, regardless of the lighting, the manufacturer adds. A new ‘extreme’ Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) feature, for example, uses new Local Contrast Enhancement and Scene Analysis technologies to capture images from scenes containing a mix of bright and dark areas.
The XNF-9010RVM has an M12 connector. Built to withstand vibrations, the EN50155 certificated XNF-9010RVM is for monitoring on buses, trains, trucks and other transport. Both cameras have de-warping and offer a variety of alternative viewing modes, including single panorama, double panorama and quad views.
A digital PTZ allows users to electronically pan, tilt and zoom in on specific areas for a more detailed view, while continuing to monitor the whole 360 degree view. It also offers privacy masking, a 12VDC and PoE (Power over Ethernet). In the event of network disruption, video is automatically recorded to on-board SDXC storage to ensure that potential video evidence is not lost.
The fisheyes come with specialist business intelligence applications which enable users to take more from their video surveillance. Collectively, the heatmap, people counting and queue management video analytics are able to assist businesses, and retail in particular, with identifying ways to improve productivity, better understand customer behaviour and improve the ‘customer experience’.
The new cameras support H.265, H.264 and MJPEG compression formats, as well as WiseStream II, a complementary compression technology which controls encoding, balancing quality and compression, according to movement in the image.
Bandwidth efficiency is improved by up to 75 per cent it is claimed compared to current H.264 technology when WiseStream, which is unique to Wisenet cameras, is combined with H.265 compression.
Other features include:
•1.08mm fixed lens.
•Stereo graphic type lens enhances resolution within the peripheral regions of an image.
•Simple Focus: A push of a button at the back of the camera is all that is needed to automatically focus the camera via the Simple Focus feature, which can also be remotely accessed via the network.
•Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA), which includes defocus detection, directional detection, motion detection, appear/disappear, enter/exit, loitering, tampering, virtual line, audio detection.
•Sound classification: An audio analytics feature which recognises critical sounds such as raised voices, screams, broken glass, gunshots and explosions, and generates an alert to enable security personnel to react to any incidents.
•Vandal resistant hard coated dome cover.
Uri Guterman, Head of Product & Marketing for Hanwha Techwin Europe said: “A single fish-eye camera will quite often offer the most efficient and cost-effective way of monitoring a large area, and particularly so when a number of standard cameras might normally be required to avoid any blind spots. They also offer a compact option for environments where aesthetics or space limitations might be an issue.
“Whilst there is no shortage of fish-eye cameras on the market, the cyber security credentials and image enhancing features of the XNF-9010RV and XNF-9010RVM, ensures they stand out from the crowd.”
