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

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