Hanwha QNF-9010 vs Hanwha XNF-9013RV: Specification Comparison
Both the Hanwha QNF-9010 and XNF-9013RV are 12MP fisheye IP cameras sharing the same 1/2.3" CMOS sensor, 1.08mm fixed focal length, and 187° angular field of view — making them directly cross-shoppable for buyers evaluating 360° panoramic coverage. The comparison turns on deployment environment (indoor-only vs. outdoor-rated), AI analytics depth, power architecture, audio capability, and edge storage capacity, all of which differ substantially between the two models.

How do the imaging specs compare?
Both cameras deliver 12MP resolution at 3008×3008 pixels and 30fps, with a shared 1/2.3" CMOS sensor, F2.2 aperture, and 1.08mm fixed focal length producing a 187° H/V/D field of view. Minimum color illumination is identical at 0.39 Lux. The XNF-9013RV adds 0 Lux IR capability via Wise IR — rated 8m at PoE (Class 3) and 13m at PoE+ — whereas the QNF-9010 provides no usable IR distance range in darkness; its spec lists IR only as a feature tag with 0.5m minimum object distance, not an illumination-at-zero-lux figure. The QNF-9010's Day & Night mode is electrical (no ICR filter), while the XNF-9013RV uses an Auto ICR mechanical cut filter for truer color-to-mono transition.
For WDR, both cameras are rated at 120dB; the XNF-9013RV labels this 'extremeWDR.' Noise reduction differs: the QNF-9010 uses SSNR V, while the XNF-9013RV adds WiseNR II (AI-based) on top of SSNR V. The XNF-9013RV also adds HLC (highlight compensation) and mosaic privacy masking to its backlight compensation suite, and supports 32 polygonal privacy zones versus the QNF-9010's 6 rectangular zones. Motion detection zones are 8 (8-point polygonal) on the XNF-9013RV versus 4 polygonal on the QNF-9010. Electronic shutter on the QNF-9010 is 2–1/12,000 sec; the XNF-9013RV is 1/5–1/12,000 sec.
What about installation and environment?
The QNF-9010 is rated IP42 (limited dust and 2.5mm object ingress protection, splash from vertical drip only) with an operating range of -10°C to +40°C and humidity up to 90% RH — strictly an indoor camera. It is plastic construction, weighs 370g, and measures Ø99×49mm. Power is PoE IEEE 802.3af Class 3 only, drawing a maximum of 7.7W. No alarm I/O ports are specified.
The XNF-9013RV is built for outdoor deployment: IP66 (dust-tight, powerful water jet resistant), IK10 vandal-rated, and NEMA 4X certified. Its operating temperature spans -40°C to +60°C with up to 95% RH — a 100°C wider cold-side range than the QNF-9010. Construction is aluminum with a hard-coated dome bubble, weighing 1,170g at Ø160×72mm. Power accepts PoE IEEE 802.3af Class 3, PoE+ (802.3at), or 12VDC, with a max draw of 12.95W. It includes 2 configurable alarm I/O ports and supports lens rotation for physical pan/tilt/rotate alignment. The XNF-9013RV also features a metal-shielded RJ-45 versus the QNF-9010's standard RJ-45.
Which fits your VMS and analytics better?
The QNF-9010 supports ONVIF Profile S/G/T and SUNAPI. Analytics include people counting, heatmap, defocus detection, motion detection, and tampering. It supports up to 3 streaming profiles with unicast limited to 6 users and WiseStream II smart codec. Edge storage is a single microSD/SDHC/SDXC slot up to 256GB. RAM is 2048MB with 256MB Flash. No audio input or output is specified.
The XNF-9013RV supports ONVIF Profile S/G/T/M (adding Profile M for metadata/analytics interoperability) plus SUNAPI and Wisenet open platform. Its AI analytics engine adds object detection for person, face, vehicle, and license plate, plus virtual line crossing/direction and virtual area loitering/intrusion/enter/exit — significantly beyond the QNF-9010's feature set. It supports up to 10 streaming profiles, unicast for 20 users, up to 5 virtual channels, WiseStream II and III, and SRTP (TCP and UDP unicast) for encrypted transport. Edge storage is dual-slot microSD up to 1TB (512GB×2). RAM is 4096MB with 512MB Flash. It includes built-in microphone with selectable mic-in/line-in input and line-out audio output with G.711/G.726 compression — the QNF-9010 has no audio capability per its specifications.
Which should you choose: the QNF-9010 or the XNF-9013RV?
Our take: The QNF-9010 is the stronger choice when deploying indoors in a controlled environment where cost, compact size (Ø99×49mm, 370g), and standard PoE (802.3af, 7.7W max) are priorities and AI-class analytics are not required. The XNF-9013RV is the appropriate selection for any outdoor or harsh-environment application: it carries IP66/IK10/NEMA 4X ratings and operates from -40°C to +60°C versus the QNF-9010's -10°C to +40°C indoor-only range. Beyond environment, the XNF-9013RV delivers functional IR night vision to 13m at PoE+, dual-slot 1TB edge storage versus a single 256GB slot, 4096MB RAM versus 2048MB, AI object detection (person/face/vehicle/plate) absent from the QNF-9010, and bidirectional audio the QNF-9010 entirely lacks. Both cameras carry a 3-year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which should you choose: the QNF-9010 or the XNF-9013RV?
The QNF-9010 is the stronger choice when deploying indoors in a controlled environment where cost, compact size (Ø99×49mm, 370g), and standard PoE (802.3af, 7.7W max) are priorities and AI-class analytics are not required. The XNF-9013RV is the appropriate selection for any outdoor or harsh-environment application: it carries IP66/IK10/NEMA 4X ratings and operates from -40°C to +60°C versus the QNF-9010's -10°C to +40°C indoor-only range. Beyond environment, the XNF-9013RV delivers functional IR night vision to 13m at PoE+, dual-slot 1TB edge storage versus a single 256GB slot, 4096MB RAM versus 2048MB, AI object detection (person/face/vehicle/plate) absent from the QNF-9010, and bidirectional audio the QNF-9010 entirely lacks. Both cameras carry a 3-year warranty.
Can the QNF-9010 or XNF-9013RV be used outdoors?
Only the XNF-9013RV is rated for outdoor use. It carries IP66, IK10, and NEMA 4X certifications and operates from -40°C to +60°C. The QNF-9010 is rated IP42 and -10°C to +40°C — it is an indoor-only camera per its specifications.
Is the QNF-9010 or XNF-9013RV better for low-light performance?
Both share a 0.39 Lux color minimum illumination. The XNF-9013RV adds 0 Lux IR capability (Wise IR, up to 13m at PoE+) and uses an Auto ICR mechanical day/night filter for true monochrome switching in darkness. The QNF-9010 uses electrical day/night only and does not specify a usable IR illumination distance, making the XNF-9013RV the clear choice for scenes that go fully dark.
Does either camera support audio recording?
The XNF-9013RV includes a built-in microphone, selectable mic-in/line-in audio input (2.5VDC, 2KΩ), and a line-out audio output (max 1Vrms), with G.711/G.726 compression. The QNF-9010 specifications list no audio input or output capability.
