It represents a “set-and-forget” solution that guarantees high performance 24/7.
Key Technical Specifications: Clarity Meets Reliability
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.
Advanced Efficiency and Intelligence
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.
Design, Durability, and Installation
