At ISC West 2022, at booth #14079, Hanwha Techwin America, a global supplier of IP and video surveillance solutions, will unveil two new AI-powered dual channel multi-sensor cameras, featuring powerful deep-learning based object detection and classification, and licence-free video and audio analytics.
PNM-C12083RVD camera
The PNM-C12083RVD AI-enabled dual channel multi-sensor camera supports 15 fps (frames per second) image capture and true 120 dB WDR (Wide Dynamic Range), without compromising the frame rate for each of its 6 MP sensors.
Motorised vari-focal lenses offer a focal range of 3.54–6.69 mm for flexible field of view adjustment in each direction. Similarly, the new PNM-C7083RVD supports 30 fps with 120 dB WDR for each of its 2 MP sensors. The camera’s motorised vari-focal lenses support a range of 3.0 - 6.0 mm.
Multi-directional AI cameras
The new multi-directional AI cameras’ deep-learning algorithms can reliably identify multiple distinct objects
The new multi-directional AI cameras’ deep-learning algorithms can reliably identify multiple distinct objects. They can detect and classify people, vehicles, faces, and licence plates in real time, greatly enhancing video analytics accuracy. False alarms due to non-interesting motion, like wind-blown trees, shadows, or animals are significantly reduced.
“With AI, analytics become a reliable source of events to the operators helping them know where to look for important real-time events,” said Ramy Ayad, the Director of Product Management, Hanwha Techwin America, adding “Bringing AI technology to multi-sensor cameras provides tremendous value and installing efficiency for are partners and their customers.”
Camera generated metadata (person, face, vehicle, licence plate) is embedded in the video, allowing a compatible VMS to use the data for highly efficient forensic search. The cameras also generate BestShot (a frame containing the object detected), which can be displayed in forensic search results, in order to assist the operator in making a quick selection.
AI-based image enhancements
Artificial Intelligence (AI) also plays an important role in image quality for each channel. WiseNR II noise reduction is a new enhancement, which utilises AI to identify object movement and reduce blur in noisy, low light environments.
AI-based Preferred Shutter technology automatically adjusts the shutter speed, based on classified objects in motion and the lighting conditions in a scene, in order to reduce motion blur and deliver the clearest images possible.
Featuring WiseStream III technology
By utilising the results of AI-based object detection on each sensor, WiseStream III technology adjusts the video encoder to focus maximum video quality on the detected objects in a scene, while scaling back encoding on the rest of the scene.
When combined with H.265 compression technology, this user-adjustable feature can provide data reduction of up to 80% depending on the environment. The new AI-powered multi-sensor cameras will be available for order at ISC West 2022 event.
