Hanwha Vision & Strategic Partnership
Global Innovation and Edge AI
Hanwha Vision is a global leader in high-performance AI-enabled video surveillance systems. Their products combine advanced imaging sensors with powerful onboard processing and analytics engines to deliver real-time insights without the need for external servers, significantly reducing latency and operational costs.
The PNB-A9001LP is emblematic of this approach, incorporating Wisenet Road AI analytics pre-installed on the device — enabling tasks like license plate recognition (LPR/ANPR), classification by make/model/color, and smart searchable metadata.
Hanwha Vision in Egypt
As an authorized distributor in Egypt, SAC Distribution Center ensures clients have access to genuine Hanwha Vision products complete with local support, warranty validation, and integration guidance — not just hardware sales.
Product Overview: PNB-A9001LP Box Network Camera
Powerful 4K AI Technology
The PNB-A9001LP is a 4K resolution AI box camera designed for demanding environments where precise identification and event classification are required. It delivers crisp 3840×2160 video and supports robust analytics without needing additional servers.
Built-In Wisenet Road AI Application
One of the key differentiators is the pre-installed Wisenet Road AI application, which includes:
-
License/Number Plate Recognition (LPR/ANPR)
-
Make, Model, and Color Recognition (MMCR)
-
Black/White List Alerts
-
Smart Search Filters by plate, brand, model, color, or country
This integrated edge-AI solution enables efficient processing and intelligence that traditionally required expensive servers and software.
Analytics for ANPR / MMCR
Beyond LPR, the camera categorizes vehicles by type and attributes, enabling deeper insights and automated traffic monitoring workflows. This makes it ideal for applications such as city surveillance, gated entries, and toll monitoring.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
Video & Optics
The PNB-A9001LP includes a 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor capable of 4K video capture with support for multiple resolutions and up to 30 fps per stream. It features automatic Day & Night (ICR) and enhanced WDR (120 dB) to maintain image clarity across challenging lighting conditions.
Analytics & AI
Thanks to the integrated Wisenet Road AI platform, the camera performs classification tasks directly on the device — license plates, vehicle models, colors, and smart search capabilities are processed locally without external systems.
Networking & Integration
With metal-shielded Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) and support for multiple network protocols (IPv4/IPv6, ONVIF profiles), the camera integrates seamlessly into modern security networks and can be managed by VMS such as Wisenet WAVE, Milestone XProtect, or Genetec Security Center.
Why SAC Distribution Center Recommends the PNB-A9001LP
Tailored to Local Security Needs
SAC often positions this camera for missions where vehicle intelligence matters — such as managing parking lots, monitoring road access, automating enforcement zones, or upgrading existing traffic systems. SAC technicians evaluate site conditions and recommend precise configurations based on traffic volume, lighting, and integration with backend systems.
High-Performance Data Capture
The combination of 4K resolution and advanced AI analytics reduces false positives and improves detection accuracy — which is crucial for systems where operator time is valuable and alerts must be reliable.
Integration with SAC Solutions
At SAC, the camera is never sold in isolation. It’s integrated into total solutions — including storage architecture, analytics configuration, dashboard setup, and alert workflows — so clients receive not only hardware but a fully operational intelligent system.
Deployment Scenarios by SAC
Smart City Traffic Monitoring
Urban planners and municipal security teams deploy the PNB-A9001LP to monitor key intersections and corridors. The pre-installed analytics help streamline vehicle movement analysis, detect anomalies, and support city-wide traffic management.
Parking Access Control
In multi-story car parks or restricted facilities, the camera provides license plate-based access control, reducing manual checks and improving throughput while logging vehicle entries and exits automatically.
Critical Infrastructure Surveillance
Transportation hubs, energy facilities, and logistics centers benefit from the camera’s ability to classify and track vehicles, enhance perimeter security, and integrate with SAC’s event reporting systems for rapid response.
Total Cost of Ownership & ROI
Efficient Edge Processing
By performing analytics at the edge, the PNB-A9001LP significantly reduces dependence on powerful central servers, lowering infrastructure costs.
Reduced Backend Load
Smart indexing and metadata generation mean less raw video needs to be stored or searched, saving bandwidth and accelerating investigations.
Scalability & Future-Proofing
Because analytics are pre-installed, the system can be extended with minimal incremental software costs — especially when integrated through SAC’s structured deployment strategy that anticipates future upgrades.
Installation & Best Practices (SAC’s Approach)
Site Survey & Network Design
SAC engineers begin with a detailed site survey, evaluating lighting conditions, traffic flow, mounting angles, and PoE network capacity. They design a custom layout that ensures optimal image capture and analytics performance.
AI Configuration & Tuning
Once installed, cameras are calibrated for optimal AI performance, including adjusting detection zones, filtering false positives, and synchronizing with backend alerts.
After-Sales Support & Maintenance
One of SAC’s core strengths is ongoing support — from firmware updates to system health checks and training for operators. Because the center is local and deeply familiar with these technologies, SAC provides responsive service that reduces downtime and extends system longevity.
Challenges & Risk Mitigation
Deploying advanced AI cameras requires careful planning to avoid issues such as incorrect angles, network congestion, or misconfigured analytics. SAC mitigates these risks by providing expert configuration, proactive monitoring, and user training so that systems deliver consistent, reliable insights.

Future Trends & SAC’s Vision
AI at the edge continues to redefine security expectations. SAC is preparing for future enhancements like cloud-edge hybrid analytics, deeper VMS integration, and expanded vehicle intelligence features — all aligned with client priorities such as automation, efficiency, and actionable data.
The Hanwha Vision PNB-A9001LP Box Network Camera, when deployed through SAC Distribution Center, offers organizations a tangible way to move from passive surveillance to proactive intelligence. The combination of 4K imaging, onboard Wisenet Road AI analytics, and SAC’s full-service approach produces systems that don’t just watch — they understand and act.
