Hanwha XNB-H6461H 2MP Pinhole Height Strip Camera

Hanwha XNB-H6461H 2MP Pinhole Height Strip Camera

The Hanwha XNB-H6461H is a specialized 2MP pinhole camera engineered for covert indoor surveillance applications. Its unique height strip form factor integrates seamlessly into door frames and architectural elements, providing discreet monitoring without drawing attention. This accessory camera delivers high-quality imaging with advanced analytics and robust connectivity options suitable for enterprise security deployments.

Key Features

• 2MP resolution (1945 x 1097 effective pixels) with 60fps video capture
• Pinhole design with narrow 73° horizontal field of view for focused surveillance
• Height strip configuration (866.1 x 43.7 x 35.1mm) for covert door frame installation
• 120dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) with backlight compensation (BLC, HLC, WDR modes)
• Day/night capability with automatic electrical switching and IR support
• Advanced video analytics: motion detection, tampering, loitering, face detection, people counting, heatmap, and queue management
• H.265/H.264/MJPEG video compression with WiseStreamII support
• PoE power (IEEE 802.3af Class 3) with 12V DC backup option
• Multiple streaming profiles (up to 10) for flexible network deployment

Technical Highlights

The XNB-H6461H employs a 1/2.8" 2M CMOS sensor with a fixed 4.6mm focal length and F2.5 maximum aperture, delivering 0.06Lux minimum illumination in both color and B/W modes. The camera supports progressive scan with digital image stabilization, lens distortion correction (5 levels), and intelligent noise reduction (2D + 3D). Real-time analytics include 8-point polygonal motion detection zones, 32-zone privacy masking with multiple color options and mosaic support, and digital PTZ up to 24x with preset and group capabilities.

Connectivity includes RJ-45 Ethernet (10/100BASE-T) with ONVIF Profile S/G compliance and SUNAPI HTTP API support. Security features encompass HTTPS/SSL encryption, digest authentication, IP filtering, 802.1X EAP-TLS/LEAP, and comprehensive user access logging. The camera supports edge storage via SD/SDHC/SDXC cards (up to 256GB) and NAS integration for event-triggered recording.

Applications

Ideal for entrance monitoring, access control verification, retail loss prevention, and secure facility entry points where discreet surveillance is critical. The height strip form factor makes it particularly suitable for door frame integration in banks, corporate offices, data centers, and restricted-access areas.

The XNB-H6461H represents Hanwha's approach to covert surveillance through industrial design rather than electronic trickery. The height strip configuration is mechanically elegant—it trades wide-angle coverage for architectural discretion and minimal visual footprint. The 73° horizontal FOV with narrow vertical capture (39°) is purposefully constrained for focused entry monitoring, not panoramic observation.

The 120dB WDR specification addresses a genuine challenge in door-frame installations where backlighting from exterior windows or hallway lighting can overwhelm sensor dynamic range. The electrical day/night switching with IR support ensures the camera maintains low-light performance without relying solely on IR illumination, which can wash out details in backlit scenes.

Integration into Smart Viewer, SSM, and Wisenet WAVE VMS platforms provides centralized management for multi-camera deployments. The 20-user concurrent unicast limit and edge storage capabilities support moderate-scale installations without requiring dedicated NVR infrastructure in all scenarios.
