Hanwha QNO-7012R 4MP Outdoor IR Bullet Camera

Hanwha QNO-7012R 4MP Outdoor IR Bullet Network IP Camera

The Hanwha QNO-7012R is a robust 4MP outdoor IR bullet camera engineered for demanding surveillance applications. Featuring a 1/3" CMOS sensor with a 2.8mm fixed lens, this camera delivers a 107.5° horizontal field of view—ideal for wide-area coverage in commercial and industrial environments. With native 4MP resolution at 30fps and advanced imaging technologies, the QNO-7012R maintains exceptional image clarity across varying light and environmental conditions.

Key Features

• 4MP resolution (2560 x 1440) at 30fps in H.265/H.264
• 120dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) for balanced exposure in high-contrast scenes
• IR illumination with 20-meter night vision capability
• Auto Day/Night (ICR) mode for seamless low-light transitions
• IP66 weatherproof and IK10 vandal-resistant housing
• PoE (802.3af) or 12V DC power options
• Micro SD/SDHC/SDXC edge storage up to 128GB
• WiseStream II smart compression for bandwidth optimization

Advanced Imaging & Analytics

The QNO-7012R excels in challenging outdoor conditions. Its 120dB WDR and SSDR (Spatial Super Dynamic Range) technology preserve detail in both bright and dark areas simultaneously. Minimum illumination of 0.15 Lux in color mode and full 0 Lux performance with IR ensure consistent monitoring day and night. The camera features sophisticated digital noise reduction (SSNR) and electronic shutter speeds ranging from 1/5 to 1/12,000 seconds.

Built-in analytics include defocus detection, directional detection, motion detection with 4 polygonal zones, enter/exit counting, tampering detection, and virtual line crossing. These features enable intelligent event-based recording and alert triggers via email, FTP, or local NAS storage.

Connectivity & Protocol Support

Supporting ONVIF Profile S/G/T and Hanwha's SUNAPI HTTP API, the camera integrates seamlessly into multi-vendor IP surveillance systems. It offers multiple streaming profiles (up to 3), unicast/multicast support for 6 concurrent users, and comprehensive network protocols including RTSP, HTTPS/SSL, DHCP, IPv4/IPv6, and SNMPv3. Advanced security features include digest and HTTPS login authentication, IP filtering, 802.1X support, and user access logging.

Video Compression & Storage

The camera supports H.265, H.264 (Main/High), and MJPEG codecs with manual smart codec optimization across 5 user-defined areas. Bitrate control options include CBR and VBR modes. Audio capabilities include selectable mic/line inputs with G.711 and G.726 compression at multiple bitrates. 512MB RAM and 256MB flash provide stable performance, while the micro SD card slot enables continuous local recording.

Durability & Installation

Rated IP66 for dust and water ingress protection and IK10 against physical impact, the QNO-7012R operates reliably from -40°C to +55°C. Its compact bullet design (Ø70 x 246mm, 700g) fits standard single, double, and 4" octagon conduit installations. Low power consumption—8W typical via PoE or 6.8W via 12V DC—minimizes infrastructure demands.

The QNO-7012R represents solid mid-range outdoor surveillance performance. The 2.8mm fixed lens and 107.5° FOV make it well-suited for perimeter monitoring and entrance coverage rather than long-distance identification. With 125 pixels per meter at 7.5m (Recognize standard), it handles license plate or facial recognition at close ranges effectively. The 120dB WDR is competitive for outdoor use, managing glare and shadows in parking lots, loading docks, and building facades.

WiseStream II compression is particularly valuable for deployments with bandwidth constraints or extensive edge storage requirements. Combined with configurable smart codec zones and dual power options (PoE/12V DC), the camera offers flexibility in challenging installation scenarios. The -40°C lower operating limit and sealed aluminum construction ensure long-term reliability in cold climates.

Consider detection/observe distances: at 37.5m (Detect) and 15m (Observe), this camera suits mid-range outdoor coverage. For long-distance or high-security applications requiring 60m+ identify ranges, evaluate higher resolution or telephoto alternatives. Ideal for retail parking lots, warehouses, logistics facilities, and small-to-medium commercial properties.
