Hanwha SMT-2731PV 27 inch AI Public View Monitor

Hanwha SMT-2731PV 27 inch AI Public View Monitor

The Hanwha SMT-2731PV is a 27-inch AI-enabled public view monitor purpose-built for surveillance and public display applications. Combining a full HD 1920×1080 display with integrated 2MP IP camera, advanced AI analytics, and professional-grade monitoring capabilities, this monitor delivers real-time threat detection and visual deterrence in a single integrated solution. Ideal for retail environments, transit hubs, government facilities, and enterprise security operations, the SMT-2731PV transforms traditional display-only monitors into intelligent surveillance endpoints.

Key Features

• 27-inch Full HD display (1920×1080@60Hz) with 300 cd/m² brightness and 1000:1 contrast
• Integrated 2MP IP camera with 107.7° horizontal field of view and F1.6 lens
• AI-powered analytics: person/face detection, object detection, virtual line crossing, intrusion/loitering detection
• Business intelligence functions: people counting, queue management, heatmap generation
• 120dB wide dynamic range with advanced noise reduction (WiseNR II) and backlight compensation
• Dual HDMI inputs with picture-in-picture/picture-by-side capability
• Built-in stereo speakers (2W × 2) for audio output
• Edge storage via Micro SD/SDHC/SDXC slot (up to 256GB) with event-triggered recording
• High-security firmware: secure boot, signed firmware, 802.1X authentication, HTTPS/SRTP encryption
• Flexible power: DC24V or High Power over Ethernet (802.3bt)
• WiseStream III smart codec for bandwidth optimization

Technical Specifications

Display Performance: The 27-inch panel delivers excellent viewing angles (178°/178° H/V) with support for 16.7 million colors and 14ms response time. Wide dynamic range processing captures detail in both bright and dark areas simultaneously, critical for outdoor or mixed-lighting venues.

Integrated Camera: The 1/2.8-inch 2MP CMOS sensor operates at low illumination (0.03 Lux minimum with F1.6 aperture) and supports multiple codec formats—H.265/H.264 at up to 30fps and MJPEG at up to 15fps. Digital PTZ, video rotation (flip/mirror/hallway modes), and 32 privacy masking zones provide flexible deployment options.

AI Analytics Engine: Motion detection across 8 polygonal zones, intelligent object classification (person/face focus), virtual line crossing/direction analysis, and area intrusion/loitering detection enable proactive threat identification. DetectionShot captures alarm-triggered images automatically. People counting and queue management provide business intelligence for operational optimization.

Connectivity & Security: Dual HDMI 1.4 inputs, RJ-45 Ethernet, and alarm I/O (1 input, 1 output) enable integration with broader security infrastructure. ONVIF Profile S/G/T/M and SUNAPI support ensure compatibility with industry-standard management platforms. Secure boot, firmware encryption, digest authentication, and IP-based access control meet enterprise security requirements.

Alarm Management: Triggers include analytics events, network disconnect, and external alarm inputs. Actions include automated image upload via email/FTP, event recording to SD card or NAS, notification delivery, and HTTP/HTTPS handover to external systems.

Applications

• Retail and shopping centers: people counting, queue monitoring, loss prevention
• Transit stations and airports: crowd management, security monitoring, passenger flow analysis
• Government and critical infrastructure: perimeter security, access control verification
• Enterprise facilities: lobby surveillance, parking area monitoring, emergency alerting
• Banks and financial services: teller area coverage, vault monitoring, incident documentation

The SMT-2731PV represents a significant evolution in surveillance display technology. By integrating a capable IP camera and AI processing into the monitor itself, Hanwha eliminates the need for separate camera mounting and reduces cabling complexity. The 120dB WDR and advanced noise reduction algorithms ensure reliable detection and analytics accuracy in challenging lighting conditions—a critical requirement for outdoor public view applications.

The AI analytics engine is particularly well-suited for venues requiring both visual deterrence and operational intelligence. The ability to simultaneously display camera feeds via HDMI (for public messaging) while running background people counting and intrusion detection creates dual-purpose functionality rarely found in single-device solutions.

From a security perspective, the device implements defense-in-depth: secure boot prevents firmware tampering, 802.1X authentication controls network access, and HTTPS/SRTP encryption protects data in transit. SD card encryption and comprehensive audit logging support forensic requirements and compliance frameworks.

The 30,000-hour panel life (approximately 3.4 years at 24/7 operation) and low power consumption (31W) make this suitable for continuous operation deployments. Support for High Power over Ethernet (802.3bt) is particularly valuable in new installations, as it eliminates the need for dedicated power infrastructure.

Note: Power adapter not included. Requires DC24V power supply or compatible 802.3bt High Power over Ethernet injector.
