Hanwha CGA-1610 Overview
The Hanwha CGA-1610 Cloud Gateway Appliance is a 16-channel cloud connectivity device designed to bridge Hanwha Vision cameras without native CloudConnector functionality and third-party IP cameras to Hanwha's OnCloud Camera-to-Cloud VMS platform. Deployed as a compact edge gateway in network surveillance infrastructures, the CGA-1610 eliminates the need for individual cloud connectors on legacy or non-Hanwha equipment, streamlining cloud integration and reducing deployment complexity across mixed-vendor camera environments.
Hanwha CGA-1610 Key Features
- 16-Channel Cloud Gateway Input: Supports up to 16 network cameras (Hanwha Vision models without CloudConnector and third-party devices) on a single appliance, consolidating cloud connectivity and reducing hardware footprint.
- Up to 8MP Resolution Support: Accommodates cameras up to 8MP resolution, preserving image detail across HD, 2MP, 4MP, and higher-resolution deployments without transcoding loss.
- Gigabit Network Connectivity: Single Gigabit Ethernet port (10/100/1000 BASE-T) provides sufficient throughput for 16-channel cloud streaming and management traffic in bandwidth-conscious deployments.
- Dual Power Redundancy: Supports both 12VDC and PoE (IEEE 802.3af) power inputs, enabling automatic failover protection and flexible power distribution in installations where dual feed availability is critical.
- Low Power Consumption: Maximum power draw of 11.0W on 12V DC and 12.95W on PoE ensures minimal thermal load and compatibility with standard PoE budgets in managed network environments.
- Embedded Linux Operating System: Purpose-built Linux stack optimized for cloud gateway operations, eliminating unnecessary overhead and reducing attack surface compared to general-purpose OS platforms.
- Slim, Compact Form Factor: Dimensions of 140 x 29.5 x 115.4 mm (5.5 x 1.16 x 4.55 inches) and 260g weight enable mounting in shallow racks, cable trays, or wall-mounted positions in space-constrained server rooms or network closets.
- NDAA Compliant, FCC Certified: Meets U.S. National Defense Authorization Act supply chain security requirements and Federal Communications Commission emissions standards, essential for government, critical infrastructure, and regulated facility deployments.
- Dual HDMI Reserved Ports: Two HDMI outputs (reserved for future use) provide expansion capability for local monitoring or diagnostics without requiring external converters.
- Alarm I/O Interface: Two alarm inputs enable integration with external sensors, switches, or event triggers for event-driven cloud recording and alerting workflows.
- Cost-Effective Cloud Migration: Eliminates per-camera cloud licensing and individual CloudConnector appliance requirements, reducing total cost of ownership in large deployments of legacy or third-party cameras requiring cloud integration.
- Easy Installation and Integration: Requires minimal configuration to connect cameras and establish cloud gateway service, with reset switch for factory defaults and power indicator for operational status confirmation.
Hanwha CGA-1610 Integration & Compatibility
The CGA-1610 is purpose-built for Hanwha Vision's OnCloud Camera-to-Cloud VMS platform and supports third-party ONVIF-compliant IP cameras, enabling mixed-vendor surveillance architectures to leverage cloud recording and centralized management. Gigabit Ethernet connectivity integrates into standard IP networks alongside managed PoE switches, and dual power support accommodates both wired and PoE-injected deployments. NDAA compliance and FCC certification ensure regulatory alignment for federal, state, and municipal agencies. The appliance operates across industrial temperature ranges (0°C to +40°C) and maintains stability in 20–85% RH environments, supporting deployment in non-climate-controlled network enclosures or outdoor-mounted equipment closures with appropriate weatherproofing housings.
