A: We take pride in taking the lead in the<br />
design, development and production of<br />
innovative, feature rich camera and recording<br />
solutions, but we appreciate our customers<br />
quite often wish us to provide them with a total<br />
solution. The technology partnerships we have<br />
established with other manufacturers who<br />
are experts in their respective fields, ensures<br />
end-users are able to achieve more from their<br />
investment in video surveillance in addition<br />
to capturing superb, high definition images.<br />
The open platform technology and massive<br />
processing power of the chipsets incorporated<br />
into our Wisenet cameras means that we are<br />
able to run multiple edge-based applications.<br />
Although virtually any application can be<br />
uploaded to the cameras, we have carefully<br />
chosen specific applications from preferred<br />
technology partners and made these available<br />
out-of-box to ensure seamless integrations<br />
and easy installation. These include:<br />
l Retail analytics solutions: Wisenet people<br />
counting and heatmap cameras can be<br />
put to work straight of out-of-box. They<br />
offer accurate, real-time information about<br />
customer in-store behaviour and provide<br />
retailers the opportunity to measure store<br />
efficiency between footfall and actual sales.<br />
They also identify the busiest days, times<br />
and seasons, helping to manage peaks and<br />
troughs of customer flow at checkouts. Both<br />
cameras feature applications developed by our<br />
technology partner, Facit Data Systems.<br />
l As result of our technology partnership with<br />
Sprinx Technologies we are now also able to<br />
offer a complete traffic incident solution. Our<br />
Wisenet X camera series has been integrated<br />
with an Automatic Incident Detection and<br />
Traffic Data (AID) application from Sprinx<br />
Technologies, making it easier to detect<br />
incidents and keep traffic on the move. The<br />
complete AID solution allows reliable detection<br />
of incidents and events in traffic flow on critical<br />
Pictured this page: Top, the cameras<br />
in the Wisenet X series; above, the<br />

infrastructure, such as roads, highways,<br />
tunnels and intersections.<br />
l We are also working in partnership with<br />
analytics experts FF Group to offer a suite of<br />
ANPR solutions ranging from car park access<br />
control for business applications, through to<br />
large scale city wide based systems, which<br />
enable local authorities and police to keep<br />
people safe, as well as detect illegally parked<br />
vehicles and other traffic infringements.<br />
Looking to the future, we have anticipated<br />
the huge potential of AI (Artificial Intelligence)<br />
technology and will be collaborating on the<br />
intelligent video analysis platform which is<br />
currently being developed by NVIDIA. This will<br />
feature AI GPUs based on Deep Learning on<br />
security devices. We will be looking to develop<br />
AI cameras and storage devices capable of<br />
autonomously detecting abnormal movements<br />
and situations by utilising the NVIDIA platform<br />
which we will apply to our city surveillance,<br />
retail and traffic solutions.<br />
Wisenet X<br />
Q: You have recently been heavily promoting<br />
the new Wisenet X camera series. What is<br />
it about these cameras which makes them<br />
stand out in a market which seems to be<br />
overcrowded with video surveillance cameras?<br />
A: When we launched the Wisenet X camera<br />
series earlier this year, we believed we had<br />
also delivered on our commitment to set a<br />
new standard for IP network video surveillance<br />
cameras. Wisenet X 2MP or 5MP cameras<br />
and domes are at the heart of what I referred<br />
to earlier as our formidable range of cameras<br />
which are collectively able to provide costeffective<br />
options for small offices and shops,<br />
as well as ultra high performance solutions for<br />
high security and mission critical commercial<br />
applications. Wisenet X series cameras are<br />
equipped with the World’s best 150dB Wide<br />
Dynamic Range (WDR) and the World’s<br />
best F0.94 motorised varifocal low light lens.<br />
Together, these features ensure superb quality<br />
images are captured regardless of the lighting<br />
conditions, from bursts of bright sunlight to<br />
almost total darkness. Wisenet X cameras<br />
are also supercharged by the most powerful<br />
chipset ever incorporated into a full camera<br />
range. With all new architecture, the Hanwha<br />
Techwin proprietary chipset runs up to three<br />
times faster than older generations of chipsets<br />
and this delivers much faster processing of<br />
video and on-board applications.<br />
Q: Is the Wisenet X series proving to be<br />
popular with your customers?<br />
A: Yes, and we are confident that sales<br />
will continue to increase following the<br />
announcement that we have successfully<br />
accelerated our programme to integrate<br />
Wisenet X cameras with leading VMS<br />
solutions such as Genetec Security Center<br />
5.6 and Milestone XProtect. This is yet<br />
another example of how our ‘WE MOVE with<br />
trust’ philosophy is realised in the form of<br />
technology partnerships which ensure our<br />
end-user customers are able to achieve the<br />
full benefit from their investment in a video<br />
surveillance system.<br />
