Hanwha Techwin launches Wisenet X series with new chipset, gyro sensors and Wisestream II

Hanwha Techwin has launched the Wisenet X series, boasting a new embedded proprietary chipset, 150dB WDR, gyro sensors and enhanced low-light performance.

In the press release announcing the launch, Hanwha Techwin has proclaimed the Wisenet 5 chipset, which is incorporated in the X series network cameras, to be its “most important component to date developed among its “core technologies”.

The Wisenet X launch comes soon after the release of Wisenet Q and P series.

Features

• 150dB wide dynamic range (WDR): Usually composed of two frames with different exposures, WDR comprises four frames for a “more natural image” on the Wisenet X series. Blurring, a common problem with WDR, is also said to be reduced.
• Gyro sensors for enhanced stabilisation: Stabilisation is activated when a camera is disturbed by wind or vibrations.
• Monitor colour images, even in low-light environments: Images can be monitored in colour even in low-light environments without IR LED. Vivid images can now be captured regardless of the environment or the time of day.
• WiseStream II: H.265 compression and WiseStream II dynamically controls encoding, balancing quality and compression according to movement in the image. Bandwidth efficiency is improved by up to 99% compared to prevalent H.264 technology when WiseStream II is combined with H.265 compression.
• More diverse analytics: Audio analysis function recognises critical sounds, such as gunshots, explosions, screams, and broken glass, and then immediately raises an alarm. Among the other analytics features incorporated into Wisenet X cameras, queue management can analyse queues generated in, for example, a retail store or bank.
• Dual SD slots and USB installation: Can be connected to mobile devices via Wi-Fi or USB port. View angles can be checked immediately whilst installing using a smartphone. Dual SD slots allow up to 512 GB to be saved automatically to the camera, safely keeping data in the event of an unstable network.

Hanwha Techwin says

“Wisenet 5, our latest chipset, offers extremely high performance. It’s at the core of Hanwha Techwin’s competitiveness,” said Lee Man-Seob, President & CEO of the Hanwha Techwin Security Business Group.

“The Wisenet X series is our first product range to use this single chip solution. As a result, our new 5 megapixel and 2 megapixel camera lineups will redefine industry standards, not only with exceptionally sharp images, but also with much faster image processing and upgraded functions.”
