The cameras and DVRs in the new WiseNet HD+ range introduced by Hanwha Techwin Europe, are designed to appeal to end-users who want to benefit from being able to capture and record Full HD 1080p images, but are not yet ready to migrate from analogue to an IP network based video surveillance solution.

Incorporating AHD technology that can deliver superb quality HD images over existing coax cabling, the competitively priced seven camera models and three DVRs in the WiseNet HD+ range offer an affordable upgrade path for legacy analogue systems, as well as new installations.

No encoders, converters or switches

“The ‘plug & play’ WiseNet HD+ range can support the transmission of HD images (and audio) without any latency or image loss, at distances up to 500m using standard coax,” said Tim Biddulph, Head of Product Management for  Hanwha Techwin Europe Ltd . “This alone is impressive, but what makes our WiseNet HD+ stand out, as well as being highly cost-effective compared to other AHD based solutions, is that it is very easy to implement as there is no need to incur the cost and time of installing encoders, converters or switches.

“The DVRs can also support existing analogue cameras and by being able to do so, they provide users with the opportunity to extend the life of their legacy systems and maximize ROI.”

Key features

All seven camera models offer true Day/Night functionality with an integrated infrared cut filter. They are also equipped with Dual Power capability and SSNRIV, the latest generation of Samsung’s Super Noise Reduction technology. This eliminates image noise in low-light conditions without creating ghosting or blurring and with the additional benefit of up to 70% reduction in bandwidth requirements or video storage space, compared to standard cameras.

The three DVRs can simultaneously record in real-time across all channels, whilst multi-streaming the transmission of images across the network and including mobile devices. Additional features include selectable bandwidth up to 64Mbps, audio support and the choice of HDMI or VGA outputs.
