When Wisestream is combined with H.265 compression, bandwidth efficiency can be improved by up to 75% compared to current H.264 technology. The company believes that this ensures that Hanwha Techwin Europe’s new Wisenet Q series is one of the most bandwidth friendly camera ranges available.

Despite being keenly priced, according to Hanwha there has been no compromise on build quality or feature sets of the 24 Wisenet Q cameras and domes. Even IR illumination is provided as standard.

Available in 2MP and 4MP full HD versions, the cameras also feature true wide dynamic range, defocus detection, hallway view and lens distortion correction, to deliver optimised images in every situation.

Defocus detection is available on all models and recognises when a camera is out of focus. The focus of Wisenet Q 4MP models equipped with a varifocal lens can also be adjusted over the network to reduce installation time.

The hallway view feature provides a highly effective way to monitor narrow vertical areas such as corridors, tunnels and aisles. It enables cameras which can generate images in the 9:16 x 3:4 aspect ratio, to work effectively in tall and narrow spaces, with the added bonus of minimising bandwidth and video storage requirements.

Lens distortion correction (LDC) compensates for the image distortion that can occur with wide angle lenses.

Additionally, motion and tamper detection, PoE/DC dual power and on board edge based storage options, including NAS or 128GB micro SD, SDHC and SDXC, all add to the flexibility and user-friendliness of the Wisenet Q series of cameras and domes which have collectively been designed to provide a competitively priced video surveillance for banks, retail, offices, transport and a wide range of other applications.
