Hanwha Techwin America, a global supplier of IP and analogue video surveillance solutions, unveiled two new Wisenet X series NVRs that support the industry’s first video playback and recording of up to 8K super-high-resolution images. 8K recording can cover large areas with sufficient pixel density to allow operators to zoom in digitally and investigate image details in real-time or forensically and still retain a clear image.

Recording capacity and storage

The new NVRs in the Wisenet X series (XRN-6410DB4/ XRN-3210B4) are scalable to a total of 160TB (Terabytes) of available SATA HDD recording capacity. Both units support a recording bandwidth of 400 Mbps and include dual HDMI video outputs. The NVRs will be available in 64 channel (XRN-6410DB4) and 32 channel (XRN-3210B4) configurations and support simultaneous playback of all channels on a local monitor.

The 64 channel (XRN-6410DB4) includes dual redundant power supplies to ensure continuity of recording for mission-critical applications. Both models support RAID 5 and RAID 6 configurations which provide redundancy for video storage data.

Features and functions

NVRs can read AI metadata generated by the edge device from deep learning algorithms New UI/ UX features greatly enhance convenience, allowing users to configure events and alarms of all channels or edit each channel from a single page. Users can also mouse over the video for a preview, making video and event search from multiple channels easier than ever. A new bookmark management function allows for easy retrieval and protection of video clips during an investigation.

Integrated with Hanwha Techwin’s Wisenet P series AI cameras, the new NVRs are able to read AI metadata generated by the edge device from deep learning algorithms, enabling operators to quickly search for objects (such as a person, face, vehicle and license plate) and attributes associated with them. Support for dynamic events allows the system to receive alarm event triggers based on current license-free analytics as well as new analytics released in the future without requiring a firmware upgrade.

Analytics configuration

“The new Wisenet X series NVRs demonstrate our industry-leading technological power by offering superb quality images of up to 8K super-high-resolution with precise and efficient monitoring through integration with AI cameras. The new UI/UX makes analytics configuration across all channels easier and faster than ever before,” says Ray Cooke Vice President - Products, Solutions, and Integration, Hanwha Techwin America.

With 16 times the resolution of HD, 8K gives organisations an amazing capacity to digitally zoom into large coverage areas without loss of detail.
