HANWHA VISION has introduced the X AI Gen 2 fisheye cameras. Powered by the Wisenet 9 SoC, they deliver “an elevated standard of situational awareness” through enhanced image quality, intelligent analytics and smarter usability.
Engineered for flexibility, performance and ease of installation, these new models empower end users to monitor expansive areas with a single camera, thereby offering cost-efficient and high-clarity coverage that reduces blind spots and reduces set-up complexity.
The X AI Gen 2 fisheye cameras capture the full 360° view from any ceiling height, providing complete situational awareness without the need for multiple cameras. Designed with a compact and low-profile housing, they blend seamlessly into environments ranging from retail stores and offices to transportation hubs and public spaces.
The addition of digital rotation and view adjustment allows end users to fine-tune perspectives remotely, in turn eliminating the need for manually repositioning the lens during or after installation.
Smarter detection, faster response
With the dual NPU architecture of Wisenet 9, the X AI Gen 2 fisheye cameras perform Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based image enhancement and advanced edge analytics without compromising performance.
The cameras intelligently classify and track key objects – including people and vehicles – while filtering out irrelevant motion in order to reduce false alarms. Metadata such as gender, clothing colour and vehicle type are transmitted to compatible video management systems, streamlining investigation procedures and accelerating incident response.
These AI capabilities not only support security monitoring, but also enable operational insights – such as foot traffic analysis or behaviour detection – making them ideal for both safety and business intelligence applications.
Precision image quality
Whether monitoring low-lit interiors or bright outdoor spaces, Wisenet 9-powered X AI Gen 2 fisheye cameras deliver “exceptional” clarity and detail. Advanced AI-based image enhancement dynamically adjusts exposure, reduces noise and maintains accurate colour reproduction across diverse lighting conditions. The end result is crystal-clear, high-resolution video that ensures every event is captured and actionable (day or night).
Installation simplicity is central to the X AI Gen 2 design. The cameras’ lightweight and compact build makes ceiling or wall mounting fast and secure, minimising time spent on ladders and improving installer safety.
Digital rotation and de-warping options allow end users to adjust perspectives remotely, while cloud connectivity and mobile set-up via Wi-Fi Direct further serve to streamline configuration and management.
Equipped with three built-in microphones, the cameras capture high-quality audio with noise reduction and are ready to support advanced AI sound classification when available.
Privacy, protection, performance
Built on Hanwha Vision’s trusted Wisenet 9 cyber security foundation, the X AI Gen 2 fisheye cameras ensure robust protection from installation to operation. Features such as Secure Boot, OS/Storage encryption and FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification safeguard device integrity, while Dynamic Privacy Masking protects personal information in real-time, effectively balancing privacy needs with evidentiary requirements.
Designed to perform in demanding environments, the cameras feature IK10 vandal resistance and IP66 weather protection, ensuring consistent performance even in harsh conditions. Seamless compatibility with leading VMS platforms and Hanwha Vision’s cloud ecosystem ensures flexible deployment, centralised management and long-term scalability.
The X AI Gen 2 fisheye cameras “redefine” what’s possible in panoramic surveillance, merging AI-powered intelligence, simplified installation and Hanwha Vision’s commitment to security and innovation.
With their all-angle visibility and advanced edge processing, they deliver sharper insights and smarter protection, empowering end users to see the whole picture without compromise.
