Hanwha Vision unveils X Series AI second generation cameras

Designed for diverse environments, this next generation of cameras ensures clearer images, smarter monitoring and more efficient data handling for security operations, while also delivering superior AI object detection and attribute extraction as well as enabling greater control over AI functions.

At the core of the second generation X Series AI cameras is Wisenet 9, an AI-native SoC with powerful dual neural processing units. While one NPU handles image processing, the other focuses on object detection and advanced analytics. This dual NPU concept has been introduced to ensure video quality and analytics have independent resources for ultimate performance, while preventing one function from impacting the other.

Powerful AI

The AI event detection pipeline is separated into three independently adjustable streams: metadata streaming, intelligent video analytics and image enhancement. This allows end users to tailor detection settings, use specific features and reduce unnecessary alerts.

Intelligent video analytics on the cameras use advanced AI object detection to trigger events. The second generation X Series AI cameras feature a host of analytics such as vehicle counting, people counting and queue management to address a wide range of customer needs. Additionally, analytics such as slip and fall detection, face mask detection and social distancing detection are available.

The range 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 the AI, accelerate forensic searches. Metadata such as gender, vehicle type and clothing colour is transmitted alongside the images to further streamline the search process.

With AI-based Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), the models capture fine details in both dark and brightly backlit areas by reducing saturation in bright spots and improving shadow visibility. AI Noise Reduction minimises noise in low-light environments, thereby ensuring sharper and enhanced images.

For privacy protection, AI-powered Dynamic Privacy Masking (DPM) provides real-time safeguarding of personal information at the edge with objects (such as people, faces, vehicles and licence plates) dynamically masked with a mosaic or colour overlay.

RE-ID technology, trusted cyber security

The range also includes RE-ID technology. RE-ID technology is a deep learning-based approach to matching visual identities across non-overlapping camera views. For example, it can identify an individual entering a building with an orange jacket and later recognise the same person leaving with the jacket unzipped and wearing a hat across different cameras.

The second generation X Series AI cameras also enable comprehensive and trustworthy cyber security. With Secure Storage, Secure OS and Secure Boot, these cameras prevent the execution of unauthorised software and ensure the integrity of captured data. Further, the cameras are FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified, in turn meeting the highest standards for secure surveillance.

Models in the range include the XND-A8084RV, XND-A9084RV, XNO-A8084R, XNO-A9084R, XNV-A8084R and XNV-A9084R variants.
