Hanwha Bridge-304+ Wisenet SKY Cloud Gateway
The Hanwha Bridge-304+ is a compact, intelligent cloud gateway designed to seamlessly connect on-premises camera systems to Wisenet SKY cloud infrastructure. This bridge serves as a secure gateway, enabling video buffering, bandwidth optimization, and real-time camera monitoring while maintaining encrypted connections to your cloud data center. Ideal for small to mid-size deployments where rack-mounted infrastructure isn't practical, the Bridge-304+ delivers professional-grade cloud connectivity in a portable form factor.
Key Features
- Supports up to 20 cameras at 4MP or 25 cameras at 1MP resolution
- Cloud analytics capability for up to 5 connected devices
- 1TB SSD storage with 800GB usable capacity for local video buffering
- Dual gigabit ethernet ports for redundant network connectivity
- Compact aluminum enclosure with wall or shelf mount capability
- Operational status indicators for power, disk activity, temperature, and network configuration
- Dual video outputs: HDMI and VGA for local monitoring
- Embedded Linux operating system for reliable, secure operation
Technical Specifications
Connectivity & Storage: The bridge features dual gigabit RJ-45 ethernet ports enabling network redundancy and optimized bandwidth management. With 1TB onboard SSD storage, the unit provides local video buffering to maintain surveillance continuity during cloud connectivity interruptions. The 800GB usable storage capacity ensures sufficient cache for extended outages.
I/O & Expansion: Four USB 3.0 ports support peripheral connections and external storage expansion. Video monitoring is available via HDMI and VGA outputs, allowing direct connection to displays for on-site status verification.
Environmental Performance: The ruggedized aluminum chassis operates reliably across -10°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F) with humidity tolerance up to 70% RH non-condensing. This broad operating range suits both climate-controlled server rooms and semi-harsh field deployments.
Power & Compliance: The included 20W power supply operates on standard 100-240V AC input. The unit holds certifications including FCC, UL, CE, UKCA, PSE, RoHS, and NDAA compliance, meeting international security and environmental standards.
Applications
The Bridge-304+ is purpose-built for organizations requiring cloud-based video management without on-site server infrastructure. Ideal applications include branch office surveillance, retail locations, small manufacturing facilities, and distributed site monitoring where centralized cloud management reduces operational overhead while maintaining local buffering and failover capability.
The Bridge-304+ represents Hanwha's approach to edge-to-cloud architecture, positioning local processing capability at the gateway rather than requiring full NVR infrastructure. The SSD-based design eliminates mechanical drive latency, critical for real-time video streaming and cloud synchronization. Support for up to 5 cloud analytics instances enables object detection and metadata generation at the edge, reducing cloud bandwidth consumption.
The dual ethernet ports aren't merely redundancy—they support active-active load balancing for deployments spanning multiple network segments. The embedded Linux architecture provides security hardening and deterministic performance compared to general-purpose OS bridges. For IT teams evaluating small-site cloud migration strategies, this bridge eliminates the false choice between full server deployment and cloud-only reliance.
