QNO-7030R Camera – Hanwha – SAC Egypt

1.1. A Heritage of Quality and Reliability

Hanwha Vision (formerly Hanwha Techwin) stands as a global leader in surveillance technology, building upon a legacy of precision and innovation. The QNO-7030R is a flagship model within the Wisenet Q series, a product line engineered to deliver professional-grade surveillance features at an affordable price point, making high-quality security accessible for small to medium-sized applications.

The QNO-7030R is a robust network IR bullet camera designed for dependable outdoor operation. It combines superior image clarity with advanced compression technology and durable housing, ensuring it meets the rigorous demands of modern security landscapes, from retail environments and commercial facilities to residential perimeters.

1.2. Positioning the QNO-7030R in the Surveillance Market

In a market saturated with surveillance options, the QNO-7030R carves out its niche by offering a balance of high resolution (4 megapixels) and essential smart features (WiseStream, True WDR) that are often found only in premium series. It is positioned as the definitive choice for users who require exceptional outdoor image quality and durability without the complexity or cost associated with high-end, highly customizable models. It represents a “set-and-forget” solution that guarantees high performance 24/7.

The core value of the QNO-7030R lies in its ability to capture actionable evidence regardless of the conditions.

2.1. Uncompromised 4MP Resolution and Frame Rates

The QNO-7030R utilizes a 1/3″ 4MP CMOS sensor, capable of generating crisp video up to 2688 x 1520 pixels (4 megapixels). This resolution is critical for providing the necessary pixel density to clearly identify faces, license plates, or specific incidents over larger coverage areas.

Crucially, the camera optimizes performance based on lighting and network load:

• 4MP Resolution: Achieves a maximum of 20 frames per second (fps), ensuring smooth capture of most outdoor activity.

• 2MP Resolution (1080p): Can achieve a maximum of 30 fps, ideal for scenarios requiring higher temporal detail, such as busy entrances or fast-moving traffic.

2.2. Fixed 6mm Lens: The Optimal Balance for Outdoor Fields

The camera is equipped with a fixed 6.0mm focal length lens. This specific lens choice provides an optimized, stable field of view, balancing wide-angle coverage with sufficient distance detail.

• Horizontal Field of View (HFOV): Approximately 53.0˚

• This fixed focal length simplifies installation by eliminating the need for remote zoom adjustments, yet offers a coverage angle perfectly suited for monitoring defined areas like walkways, parking lots, and building facades.

2.3. Robust Night Vision (30m IR) and True WDR (120dB)

The QNO-7030R is a true 24/7 surveillance device, utilizing two key technologies for challenging lighting:

• Infrared (IR) Viewable Length: Built-in IR illuminators provide clear, monochromatic video in total darkness up to 30 meters (98.42 feet), ensuring reliable night surveillance.

• True Wide Dynamic Range (WDR): The camera features 120dB True WDR. This is essential for outdoor setups where high-contrast lighting is common (e.g., strong sunlight contrasted with shadows, or glare from headlights). The WDR technology captures multiple exposures of the same scene and combines them to produce a balanced image where both bright and dark areas retain detail.

Beyond resolution, the efficiency of video storage and the camera’s ability to process data intelligently define the QNO-7030R’s professional status.

3.1. H.265 and WiseStream Technology

Managing high-resolution video streams can quickly overwhelm network bandwidth and storage infrastructure. The QNO-7030R addresses this challenge through advanced compression techniques. It supports a triple codec stream (H.265, H.264, and MJPEG), with H.265 being the next-generation standard for maximum compression efficiency.

The critical component that elevates this is WiseStream I, Hanwha Vision’s proprietary compression technology.

3.2. The WiseStream Compression Advantage (Internal Link)

The WiseStream technology works dynamically with the H.265 codec to intelligently analyze video content. Instead of applying a uniform compression rate to the entire scene, WiseStream identifies areas of motion and activity and applies greater compression to static background elements (like walls, sky, or unmoving furniture).

This selective compression can dramatically reduce bandwidth and storage requirements—in some cases by up to 75% when combined with H.265, compared to conventional H.264 streams—while maintaining the highest video quality for the parts of the scene that matter most. This feature is paramount for long-term recording and efficient remote monitoring.

3.3. Built-in Analytics: Detection and Alerting

The QNO-7030R incorporates essential video analytics directly into the camera’s firmware, providing smart detection capabilities at the “edge” of the network. This includes:

• Motion Detection: Traditional motion alerting.

• Tampering Detection: Alerts security staff if the camera is obscured, covered, or moved.

• Defocus Detection: Notifies the operator if the image becomes out of focus, often due to physical impact or environmental factors, ensuring the system remains operational and clear.

3.4. Specialized Video Functions (Hallway View and LDC)

• Hallway View (90˚/270˚): This function optimizes the aspect ratio for vertical environments (such as narrow corridors, aisles, or stairwells). By rotating the video stream 90 or 270 degrees, it eliminates unnecessary horizontal black bars, maximizing the usable resolution and reducing bandwidth waste.

• Lens Distortion Correction (LDC): Standard fixed lenses can produce minor distortion (a “fish-eye” or curving effect) near the edges of the image. LDC technology digitally corrects this, ensuring that straight lines appear straight, which is vital for accurate forensic analysis.

4.1. IP66 and IK10: Built to Withstand the Elements

Designed specifically for outdoor deployment, the QNO-7030R possesses the highest ratings for environmental protection in its class:

• IP66 Rating: Indicates complete protection against dust ingress and high-pressure water jets, making it fully weatherproof and suitable for rain, snow, and highly dusty environments.

• IK10 Rating: This is the highest level of vandal-resistance testing. The IK10 rating guarantees that the camera housing can withstand the impact of a 5 kg object dropped from 40 cm, translating to exceptional protection against physical attack and vandalism.

• Temperature Range: The camera is engineered to operate reliably in a vast temperature range, typically from -30°C to +55°C (-22°F to +131°F), suitable for diverse climates worldwide.

4.2. Power and Storage Flexibility (PoE and Edge Storage)

Installation is streamlined thanks to flexible power and storage options:

• Power over Ethernet (PoE): The camera supports PoE (IEEE 802.3af, Class 3), allowing both data transfer and electrical power to be delivered through a single standard Ethernet cable. This drastically simplifies wiring, reduces infrastructure cost, and speeds up deployment.

• 12V DC Input: Provides an alternative power option for non-PoE infrastructures.

• Edge Storage: A crucial redundancy feature, the camera supports a microSD/SDHC/SDXC slot up to 128GB. This allows for local recording—a vital backup in case of network interruption—or a standalone recording solution for smaller installations.

4.3. Seamless Integration with VMS Solutions (ONVIF Compliance)

As a professional network camera, the QNO-7030R adheres to the ONVIF Profile S and G standards. This ensures compatibility and easy integration with a vast ecosystem of third-party Video Management Systems (VMS), Network Video Recorders (NVRs), and Security Management Systems (SMS), giving end-users total freedom in building their security infrastructure.

The blend of resolution, compression, and durability makes the QNO-7030R highly versatile.

5.1. Retail and Small Business Security

For retail storefronts, small warehouses, and office exteriors, the QNO-7030R is ideal for monitoring:

• Parking lots and vehicle movement.

• Delivery zones and loading docks.

• Building entrances and exits, where 4MP clarity is necessary for capturing faces and details.

5.2. Perimeter and Facility Monitoring

The 30m IR range, coupled with its rugged IP66/IK10 housing, makes it perfect for securing facility perimeters, oil and gas sites, or school grounds, where long-distance night vision and tamper resistance are mandatory.

5.3. Indoor/Outdoor Versatility

While designed for outdoors, its compact form factor and advanced features like The WiseStream Compression Advantage (Internal Link) make it equally effective indoors for large industrial spaces, lobbies, or long hallways, especially when utilizing the Hallway View mode.
