Hanwha Vision has launched a compact multi-directional camera that combines an 18x AI-powered PTZ module with three 5MP fixed lenses. The model, PNM-C19183RVTP, is designed to deliver wide-area coverage, high-resolution zoom capabilities, and AI-powered insights.
At its core, the camera leverages AI to detect and classify objects in real time, distinguishing people, vehicles, faces, and licence plates from irrelevant motion, such as moving shadows or trees. Forensic metadata, including object classification (such as person or vehicle), enables fast searches. Colour detection including clothing (upper/lower) or vehicle colour on the three fixed lens channels further enhances the search while video analytics, such as virtual line-crossing and loitering detection, help monitor restricted zones and smart zoom (advanced handover) and auto-tracking enable the PTZ to zoom in on objects identified by the fixed lenses.
Three independently controlled IR zones (up to 15 metres) allow for visibility in low-light conditions while minimising reflections. WiseStreamIII compression technology reduces bandwidth consumption by up to 80% without compromising video quality, and AI-based shutter control minimises motion blur for fast-moving objects. Furthermore, installation is simplified with a detachable mounting plate, push-button setup, and automatic PTZ calibration.
