Hanwha Vision debuts powerful AI remote-head camera

An intelligent design has been developed for a range of uses where a discreet presence is needed, or for the monitoring of more confined spaces (for example ATMs, entrances and retail counters). The four-channel remote-head camera, designated model number PNM-C20000QB, can be installed together with a range of Hanwha Vision accessories that include 2 MP and 5 MP lens modules.

AI object and attribute detection, alongside colour detection (upper/lower clothing and vehicle), are supported on all four channels. The solution also provides four audio inputs and one output channel for synchronised audio-video monitoring.

An HDMI port enables seamless local monitoring of the video signal from all four channels without the need for additional computing power. The integration of shock detection via built-in gyro sensors further strengthens operators’ situational awareness by alerting them to impacts or tampering.

Powerful suite of analytics

AI-powered analytics enable real-time detection of people, faces, vehicles and licence plates. AI algorithms can discern these objects from surrounding irrelevant motion, meaning that motion detection alarms are only triggered when specific objects are moving in a scene.

Event-based alerts can also be triggered for virtual-line crossing, area intrusion, loitering and directional movement in a boost to safety and security.

The remote-head camera features BestShot, a powerful function that captures and transmits the most relevant images of classified objects. These images, cropped directly around the detected objects by AI, accelerate forensic searches. Colour detection of clothing and vehicles also bolsters forensic search, in turn improving investigation efficiency.

Further, business intelligence insights, such as people and vehicle counting, add value beyond security to streamline operations, inform marketing and sales and aid with store or site layout design.

Next-level cyber security

The solution includes Hanwha Vision’s next-level cyber security with features such as user authentication and secure communication, access control and audit. An embedded secure element meets FIPS 140-3 Level 3 and CC EAL6+ standards, ensuring “top-tier data protection” and system integrity.

Additionally, a detachable installation plate simplifies mounting and adjustments, thereby making installation, repositioning or replacement procedures quick and hassle-free.
