Hanwha TNO-3030T QVGA Thermal Bullet IP Camera

Hanwha TNO-3030T QVGA Thermal Bullet IP Camera

The Hanwha TNO-3030T is a professional-grade thermal bullet camera engineered for 24/7 surveillance in complete darkness, extreme weather, and challenging industrial environments. Equipped with an uncooled micro bolometer thermal sensor delivering 320x240 QVGA resolution and exceptional thermal sensitivity below 60mK, this camera provides reliable heat-signature detection without dependency on visible light. The fixed 13.7mm focal length with F1.0 aperture and 16° horizontal field of view enables precise monitoring across medium-range perimeters, with an 8-meter minimum object distance.

Key Features

• QVGA thermal imaging (320x240) with sub-60mK thermal sensitivity for precise heat detection
• 30fps video at H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codecs with WiseStream II smart compression
• Eight selectable thermal color palettes (Whitehot, Blackhot, Rainbow, Iron, Custom) for optimized operator visualization
• Comprehensive analytics suite: motion detection, directional detection, virtual line crossing, temperature change detection, loitering, tampering, and sound classification
• Dual audio streams with selectable microphone or line-level input and line output
• Advanced digital image stabilization using built-in gyro sensor
• 32-zone polygonal privacy masking in multiple colors or mosaic

Technical Highlights

The TNO-3030T delivers flexible codec support with H.265 and H.264 at Main, Baseline, and High profiles, enabling bandwidth optimization across diverse network infrastructures. Smart bitrate control (CBR/VBR for H.264/H.265, VBR for MJPEG) ensures efficient storage and streaming. The camera supports up to 10 simultaneous streaming profiles with unicast (20 users) and multicast capabilities, facilitated by ONVIF Profile S/G/T compliance and Hanwha's Wisenet open platform API.

Network security features include HTTPS/SSL encryption, digest authentication, 802.1X EAP support, IP filtering, and device certificates issued by Hanwha Techwin Root CA. All network traffic is protected via SNMPv3 and SRTP protocols. The camera accommodates up to 256GB micro SD/SDHC/SDXC edge storage for critical event recording.

Rugged construction meets IP66, IK10, and NEMA 4X ratings, ensuring operation across -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to +140°F) temperature ranges. Multiple power options—PoE (IEEE 802.3af Class 3), 24VAC, or 12VDC—provide installation flexibility with low power consumption (6.7–8.0W typical). The aluminum housing measures 147.51 × 375.3mm and weighs 2.51kg.

Ideal Applications

• Perimeter security for industrial facilities, power plants, and critical infrastructure
• Unmanned border or boundary monitoring in low-light conditions
• Temperature anomaly detection in server farms, electrical substations, and HVAC systems
• Vehicle and personnel detection on runways, parking areas, and secured compounds
• Event-triggered recording and alert distribution via FTP, email, or NAS integration

The TNO-3030T occupies a critical niche in thermal surveillance: it delivers genuine heat-signature detection in complete darkness and severe weather at a more accessible price point than cooled thermal systems. The sub-60mK sensitivity ensures reliable personnel and vehicle detection without false alarms from ambient temperature fluctuations. H.265 codec support is essential for sites managing large thermal camera deployments, as thermal raw data consumes significant bandwidth when uncompressed.

The built-in analytics (temperature change detection, directional motion, virtual line) reduce reliance on external video management software, enabling edge-based security responses. Dual power inputs and PoE Class 3 compatibility simplify retrofit installations. The 8-meter minimum object distance is appropriate for perimeter fencing and building entrance monitoring but less suitable for long-range thermal screening; customers requiring detection beyond 50+ meters should evaluate cooled thermal systems.

IP66/IK10 ratings and -40°C operational floor make this camera suitable for arctic climates and coastal salt-spray environments where conventional IP cameras fail.
