XNV-6011 – Hanwha Vision

SAC does not sell cameras as commodities — SAC sells operational outcomes. For the XNV-6011 those outcomes include:

• Lower installation & lifecycle cost: PoE, compact form factor, and WiseStream II reduce cabling complexity and bandwidth/storage costs, lowering TCO.

• Faster time to insight: On-edge people counting, heatmap and queue management let operations teams generate actionable reports without external analytics servers. SAC packages these analytics into dashboards for non-technical users.

• Reliable outdoor operation: Certified IP66 / IK10 / NEMA 4X housings reduce failure rates outdoors and lower maintenance visits. SAC inventory includes accessories and brackets for flexible mounting.

• Scalable deployments: The camera’s performance at 60 fps and support for modern codecs mean SAC can standardize on the XNV-6011 across larger projects (chains/branches) without major rework.

SAC couples these product strengths with local services (site surveys, system design, commissioning, AI model tuning, and SLA-backed maintenance) so customers get technology that actually works in their environment.

Below are the load-bearing technical details SAC uses in proposals and design documents. All specifications are taken from Hanwha product documentation and regional product pages.

Core imaging

• Sensor & resolution: 1/2.8″ 2 MP progressive scan CMOS (1920 x 1080).

• Frame rate: Up to 60 fps at all resolutions (H.265/H.264). High frame rate helps capture fast events and improves object extraction for analytics.

• Lens: Built-in 2.8 mm fixed focal length providing approximately 112° horizontal field of view — ideal for broad outdoor coverage.

• Minimum illumination: 0.055 lux (color) — adequate for many dusk/dawn scenarios (use IR-assist fixtures or complementary lighting where required).

Imaging enhancements

• WDR: 150 dB Wide Dynamic Range — useful for scenes with strong backlight (e.g., storefronts, vehicle headlights).

• Defog / E-DNR / HLC: Helps ensure usable imagery in fog, rain, or bright-light conditions.

• People counting & queue management — used for retail analytics and occupancy monitoring.

• Loitering & directional detection — triggers targeted alerts for suspicious behavior.

• Heatmap & digital auto tracking — aids security teams and business analysts.

• Tampering / defocus detection — reduces blind periods and enables automatic maintenance alerts.

Durability & connectivity

• Enclosure: IP66, IK10, NEMA 4X — suitable for harsh outdoor and vandal-prone environments.

• Edge storage: microSD / SDHC / SDXC slot up to 256GB — allows local buffering and short-term recording during network outages.

• Power & interfaces: PoE (simplified cabling), RJ45 Ethernet; USB B port (installation assistance on many models).

• Codecs: H.265 / H.264 / MJPEG; WiseStream II (Hanwha’s smart compression) for bandwidth and storage savings.

Design note (SAC): In SAC’s experience, pairing WiseStream II with a modest increase in on-camera frame rate (where needed) yields better forensic footage without proportionally increasing storage costs — particularly valuable in transport hubs and retail exteriors.

SAC stocks common accessories (sunshields, corner and pole mounts, pendant adapters, and IP66 cable glands) so installations are faster and consistent across sites.

SAC approaches camera system design as a layered architecture:

1. Edge layer (cameras like XNV-6011): responsible for initial capture, pre-processing (WDR/defog), on-edge analytics (people counting, loitering), and local buffering.

2. Transport layer (network): managed PoE switches, VLAN segmentation for security cameras, QoS for video streams, and bandwidth planning that leverages WiseStream II to reduce link capacity needs.

3. Storage & analytics layer: NVRs or cloud storage, with optional centralized analytics or SAC-managed cloud pipelines for aggregated business intelligence.

4. Application layer: VMS dashboards, mobile apps, and SAC’s custom reporting for business users (occupancy reports, queue length graphs, daily heatmaps).

AI & analytics strategy

SAC’s AI strategy with XNV-6011 centers on hybrid analytics:

• Use on-edge analytics (people counting, loitering detection) for immediate local actions and alerts.

• Offload aggregated data to SAC’s analytics platform for trend analysis, anomaly detection across multiple sites, and training custom models (when needed) using labeled site data.

This hybrid approach preserves bandwidth, respects privacy (aggregate metrics vs. raw face data), and speeds ROI for business use cases.

SAC’s installation SOPs for the XNV-6011 ensure consistent performance:

• Mounting & field of view planning: use the 2.8 mm FOV (~112° H) to avoid placing camera too close to entrances (which can cause extreme perspective distortion). For narrow corridors, SAC recommends hallway mode or alternative lens options.

• Height & angle: typically 3–5 meters (10–16 ft) for external mounting to maximize coverage and tamper resistance while enabling detailed analytics.

• Environmental sealing: ensure IP66 gasket torque specs are met and use sacrificial corrosion protection (especially in marine/coastal sites).

• PoE & surge protection: always deploy PoE switches with surge protection (recommended by SAC) and consider local inline UPS for sites with unreliable power.

• Network segmentation & security: place cameras on an isolated VLAN, manage firmware updates centrally via SAC’s management platform, and harden default service ports per SAC checklist.

• Edge storage policy: configure circular recording and retention policies on the microSD to fill then overwrite, and pair with offsite backup for critical sites.

SAC has proven integration patterns for the XNV-6011:

• VMS Compatibility: XNV-6011 is ONVIF-compliant and integrates with major VMS platforms. SAC validates each VMS camera profile to ensure correct encoding, event bridging, and analytics metadata flow.

• NVR & storage: For local recording, SAC preconfigures NVRs to accept H.265 streams, WiseStream II optimizations, and camera health reporting.

• Cloud & hybrid storage: SAC supports hybrid models—edge retention on microSD for immediate failover and cloud replication for long-term retention and centralized search.

• Analytics integration: SAC maps camera events (e.g., loitering, tamper, people count) into SIEMs, building management dashboards, and retail business intelligence tools using REST APIs and standardized metadata schemas.

SAC’s commissioning process turns product capability into operational readiness:

1. Pre-installation verification: confirm camera firmware, lens integrity, POE feed, and network connectivity at the factory or depot.

2. On-site calibration: SAC technicians optimize exposure/WDR settings, enable defog/HLC where needed, and tune motion/loitering thresholds to match site behavior.

3. Analytics validation: validate people counting calibration against ground truth samples (SAC runs walk-through tests to measure counting accuracy and adjusts zones).

4. Network stress test: simulate peak traffic (multiple cameras at highest stream settings) to verify switches, WAN links, and storage throughput.

5. Handover & training: SAC provides operational training for security teams and analytics users (how to read heatmaps, how to respond to loitering alerts, and how to retrieve evidence).

Commissioning reports and a camera health baseline are delivered at handover.

SAC differentiates with localized support and predictable SLAs:

• Tiered support plans: Bronze (business hours remote support), Silver (onsite response within agreed window + remote), Gold (SLA + spare replacement stock).

• Warranty management: SAC acts as authorized distributor/partner and assists with manufacturer warranty claims and RMA handling to shorten replacement times. For products like XNV-6011, SAC keeps a buffer inventory for critical customers to avoid long downtime.

• Firmware & cybersecurity: SAC manages scheduled firmware updates (after lab validation) to minimize attack surface and avoid breaking analytics integrations.

• Preventive maintenance: regular site visits to verify seals, housings, and lens cleanliness — particularly important for IP66/IK10 outdoor units to maintain image quality.

Below are realistic, company-focused scenarios where SAC deploys XNV-6011 cameras successfully.

Retail chain — exterior and parking analytics

Challenge: multiple branch storefronts need occupancy and queue analytics plus perimeter detection.
SAC solution: deploy XNV-6011 at each store façade and parking access. Configure people counting and queue management, feed aggregated data to SAC’s retail dashboard for daily KPIs. Outcome: improved staff allocation and 18% reduction in customer wait times in pilot branches. (SAC internal pilot results — anonymized.)

Transport hub — platform safety & loitering detection

Challenge: small outdoor platforms with vandalism and loitering reports.
SAC solution: vandal-resistant XNV-6011 units placed at elevated points, tamper & loitering detection enabled with immediate alerting to the operations center. Outcome: faster incident response and reduced vandalism incidents.

Education campus — perimeter monitoring & parking

Challenge: wide campus requiring robust outdoor cameras.
SAC solution: standardize on XNV-6011 for exterior perimeters, tie analytics to access control and VMS. Outcome: simpler inventory, unified maintenance, and consistent analytics across buildings.

(If you’d like, SAC will produce a full anonymized case study with metrics from one of these deployments.)

SAC uses a proactive procurement model:

• Local buffer stock: SAC maintains buffer inventory for common SKUs (XNV-6011) and accessories to accelerate rollouts.

• Forecasting: SAC provides clients with reorder models that align with project schedules and seasonal demand, avoiding delays.

• Customs & compliance: SAC handles import clearance, local certification checks, and packaging — important for projects with phased deliveries.

• Preferred commercial terms: volume pricing, leasing options, and bundled service contracts to reduce upfront capex.

• Cybersecurity: SAC hardens camera deployments by changing default credentials, isolating networks, and scheduling validated firmware updates. The XNV-6011 supports secure streaming and modern codecs which SAC configures to minimize exposure.

• Privacy: SAC advises on privacy-first deployments — using on-edge aggregation (people counts, heatmaps) rather than persistent face recognition unless the client requires it and complies with local regulations.

• Sustainability: selecting IP66/IK10 cameras with long life expectancy reduces waste and replacement frequency; SAC also offers recycling programs and energy-efficient PoE switch selections to reduce operational emissions.
