Hanwha Vision, a global provider of vision solutions, introduces its next-generation QVGA AI Thermal Surveillance Camera. Equipped with built-in AI object detection, advanced thermal imaging with a NETD of less than 20 mK, and long-range telephoto lens options up to 60 mm, these compact, high-performance cameras set a new standard for perimeter and critical infrastructure monitoring.

Whether securing data centers at close range or tracking movement across long distances along borders and highways, or around large perimeters at airports and energy facilities, the QVGA AI Thermal Surveillance Camera delivers dependable and accurate detection in complete darkness, as well as in rain, fog and smoke. Built-in AI detection for people and vehicles is included without any additional costs.  

The integrated onboard AI provides real-time identification of people and vehicles, reducing false alarms caused by shadows, animals, or wind-blown objects. Event-triggering analytics such as line crossing and loitering detection ensure more proactive monitoring. AI-based motion detection (WiseMD) helps teams focus only on relevant movement and automates alerts with high precision. Additionally, these new cameras can support temperature change detection in 3 interest areas. 

With a noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) of less than 20mK, these ultra-sensitive cameras provide outstanding thermal contrast. This allows operators to capture clearer, more detailed images in challenging low-contrast environments such as humid weather, fog, or at long distances where conventional thermal cameras struggle. 

The QVGA AI Surveillance Thermal camera’s 13mm, 19mm, 35mm and 60mm focal length options provide flexible coverage for diverse surveillance needs. For closer-range monitoring, cameras equipped with the 13mm lens can distinguish a vehicle at 115 meters and a person at 87 meters. When long-range detection is required, the 60mm lens extends vehicle detection to 532 meters and person detection to 399 meters. With detection capabilities up to 5.4km (*based on DRI standard), Hanwha Vision’s thermal lineup provides the flexibility and reach needed to protect expansive perimeters. 

QVGA AI Thermal Surveillance Cameras are built for extreme environments. They feature an IP66/67 weather rating, IK10 impact resistance, and a shielded RJ-45 connector for added surge protection. NEMA 4X, NEMA-TS 2, and MIL-STD-810H standards compliance ensure these cameras are significantly more rugged than a typical camera. Lightweight design and simplified mounting ensure fast, intuitive installation even in difficult, tight locations. 

Cybersecurity is built into the camera’s foundation, with secure boot, firmware encryption, and a FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified secure element, ensuring robust protection of sensitive video data and compliance with demanding industry regulations. 

Key Features of the QVGA AI Thermal Cameras: 

• QVGA resolution with <20mK NETD for sharper thermal contrast and improved clarity in low-visibility environments 
• Built-in AI object detection (people, vehicles) at no extra cost for more efficient and accurate monitoring 
• AI-based analytics including line crossing, and loitering detection (WiseMD) for event-triggered alerts 
• Lens options from 4.4mm to 60mm for flexible coverage from short-range to long-distance (*DORI up to 5.4km) 
• Compact and lightweight housing for easier installation in constrained or elevated areas 
• IP66/67-rated weather protection and IK10 impact resistance, evaluated NEMA 4X, NEMA-TS 2, and MIL-STD-810H for harsh outdoor environments 
• Metal-shielded RJ-45 port for enhanced electrical surge protection 
• FIPS 140-3 Level 3 and CC EAL6+ certified secure element for advanced cybersecurity and compliance 
• Seamless integration with major VMS platforms including Genetec, Milestone, and Wisenet WAVE 

While the QVGA AI Thermal Surveillance Camera is designed for security and monitoring use cases, Hanwha Vision also offers radiometric thermal cameras that enable precise temperature measurement and analytics. For more information, please visit Hanwha Vision’s website.
