Hanwha Techwin expands range of NVRs supporting Wisenet AI cameras

As is the case with the 32 and 64 Wisenet X NVRs introduced in 2020, by reading the AI metadata captured by Wisenet AI cameras, the new NVRs are able to help end users to quickly and accurately search video for objects and the attributes associated with them.

The Deep Learning AI video analytics simultaneously detect and classify various object types, including people, vehicles, faces and license plates, and are supported by Wisenet AI algorithms. Unique to Hanwha Techwin, these identify the attributes of objects or people, such as age group, gender or the colour of the clothing an individual is wearing.

The attributes are saved as metadata on the NVRs alongside the images captured by the cameras, enabling end users to quickly search for specific objects or incidents. The algorithms are even able to recognise if someone is wearing glasses or holding a bag.

Key features shared by the NVRs include the following: 

*a brand new user interface

*new trapezium design extends life of HDDs by dint of enhanced heating dissipation

*up to 32 MP recording with improved support for Wisenet 4K, 8K, thermal imaging, PTZ and multi-sensor models

*WiseStream II complementary compression technology which, when combined with H.265 compression, improves bandwidth efficiency by up to 75% when compared to current H.264 technology

*dual HDMI and VGA display outputs

*automatic recovery back-up

*event push notifications to smart phones

*conforms to ONVIF Profile S

Easy to configure

Installation time required for the new NVRs is minimised by the ability of engineers to remotely connect to them. This is achieved via a smart phone or tablet without having to set up a complex network by using P2P and unique QR product codes. Configuration of the NVRs is easily achieved with the help of an intuitive interface and installation Wizard.

For their part, security personnel can apply bookmarks to prevent important video from being overwritten, with the NVRs programmed to automatically delete the bookmarked video after a defined time period to ensure compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation.

The NVRs are also NDAA compliant, which has become an essential requirement that consultants, system designers and system integrators need to take into consideration when submitting tenders for projects involving clients who operate on a multinational footing.

“There are so many ways in which Deep Learning AI video analytics can enhance the value of a video surveillance solution, with these new NVRs making the technology affordable even for those applications which only require a small number of cameras,” explained Uri Guterman, head of product and marketing for Hanwha Techwin Europe.

“Together with Wisenet AI cameras, the NVRs offer a high degree of detection accuracy,” continued Guterman, “while also minimising false alarms. In addition to providing end users with a powerful tool to identify and respond quickly to any suspicious activity, they also offer businesses, and particularly so those operating in the retail sector, the opportunity to capture and analyse business intelligence data.”
