Hanwha XNB-A8004 Overview
The Hanwha XNB-A8004 is a 5MP AI-powered box camera built on the WN9 platform, designed for security integrators and IT managers seeking advanced on-camera analytics without external processing dependencies. This form factor delivers flexibility for fixed indoor installations where discrete mounting and lens customization are required. The dual NPU architecture accelerates AI-based image enhancement and real-time object recognition, making it suitable for retail, facility monitoring, and investigative surveillance applications.
Hanwha XNB-A8004 Key Features
- 5MP resolution at 30 fps — captures high-fidelity video at full 5MP resolution and 30 frames per second (25 fps in 50Hz regions); supports up to 60 fps at 2MP and 30 fps MJPEG streaming for bandwidth-constrained deployments
- Dual NPU AI engine — on-camera processing for object detection, IVA events, and business intelligence without reliance on external GPU servers or edge appliances
- Extreme WDR with 120 dB dynamic range — handles high-contrast mixed-lighting scenes such as entrances with strong backlight, retail displays, and outdoor visible light entering indoor spaces
- Multiple video codec support — H.265, H.264, and MJPEG compression enabling efficient storage, adaptive bandwidth management, and broad VMS ecosystem compatibility
- AI-based WiseStream and WiseNR II — intelligent bitrate reduction and noise reduction powered by the on-camera AI engine to lower storage and bandwidth overhead without sacrificing forensic detail
- Comprehensive IVA and analytics suite — detects persons, faces, vehicles, and license plates; supports line crossing, area intrusion, loitering, direction detection, slip-and-fall events, and face mask detection natively on the camera
- Business intelligence capabilities — people, vehicle, and crowd counting; queue management; heatmapping; and classified object attributes (person gender and clothing color, vehicle type and color, facial age/gender/mask/glasses detection)
- Dynamic privacy masking — configurable masking regions to address privacy compliance requirements in retail, healthcare, and corporate environments
- Digital image stabilization with built-in gyro — compensates for vibration and minor camera movement without requiring mechanical stabilization
- Selectable microphone input — mic input, line input, or built-in microphone options for flexible audio capture and integration with two-way systems
- USB-C port for installation — simplifies firmware updates, configuration, and diagnostics during deployment and maintenance
- Secure microSD card storage — built-in slots support up to 1TB × 2 (2TB total) for local video backup and edge-based retention policies; FIPS 140-3 Level 3 secure element for key management
- Multiple power options — PoE (max 8.9W, typical 7.5W) or 12VDC (max 8.1W, typical 6.7W) with WisePower monitoring and EcoMode for power-budget flexibility
- Broad operating temperature range — -10°C to +55°C (14°F to +131°F) rated for HVAC-controlled indoor and sheltered outdoor enclosures
- OnCloud compatible — integrates with Hanwha's cloud ecosystem for remote management and mobile access
Hanwha XNB-A8004 Integration & Compatibility
The XNB-A8004 features a metal-shielded RJ-45 connector for PoE and 12VDC power input, supporting standard network deployment in enterprise and mid-market surveillance systems. The camera is compatible with Hanwha OnCloud and integrates with industry-standard ONVIF-compliant VMS platforms via its native video codec output (H.265, H.264, MJPEG). AI analytics events are available for downstream processing in compatible NVR and VMS systems, or can be used standalone for local decision-making and alerts. Box camera form factor provides integrators with lens flexibility — compatible with C-mount or CS-mount lenses depending on application requirements (consult detailed documentation for specific lens compatibility).
