Hanwha TNO-3050T Thermal Outdoor Bullet IP Camera

The Hanwha TNO-3050T is a professional-grade thermal imaging bullet camera engineered for outdoor perimeter security and critical infrastructure surveillance. Featuring an uncooled microbolometer sensor with 320x240 QVGA resolution and <60mK thermal sensitivity, this camera delivers exceptional contrast and detail in complete darkness, fog, smoke, and heavy rain—conditions where traditional cameras fail. The 35mm fixed focal length (F1.0) provides a narrow 6.3° horizontal field of view, enabling long-distance object detection and identification at ranges exceeding 51 meters.

Technical Specifications

Imaging & Optics: The TNO-3050T employs a 320x240 uncooled microbolometer with exceptional thermal sensitivity (<60mK). Its 35mm fixed lens with F1.0 maximum aperture and fixed focus delivers crisp thermal imagery at distances where conventional cameras cannot operate. Video output supports H.265/H.264 (Main/Baseline/High profiles) and MJPEG at up to 30fps, with adaptive bitrate control (CBR/VBR) to optimize network bandwidth.

Connectivity & Power: PoE (IEEE 802.3af) delivers up to 8.7W peak power consumption, with alternative 12VDC and 24VAC inputs available. Ethernet (10/100BASE-T) supports IPv4/IPv6, RTSP, ONVIF Profile S/G/T, and Wisenet open platform integration. Multiple streaming profiles (up to 10) enable simultaneous unicast and multicast delivery to 20 concurrent users.

Analytics & Alarms: Built-in analytics include directional detection, motion detection with 8 configurable zones, appear/disappear, enter/exit, loitering, tampering, virtual line crossing, audio detection, temperature detection, sound classification, and shock detection. 1 alarm input and 2 alarm outputs support event-triggered actions: FTP/email file upload, SD/SDHC/SDXC recording (256GB max), NAS recording, and email notifications.

Security & Storage: HTTPS/SSL, digest authentication, IP filtering, 802.1X (EAP-TLS/EAP-LEAP), and device certificates protect against unauthorized access. 1GB RAM, 256MB flash, and microSD slot (256GB) enable local edge storage and analytics processing.

Applications

• Perimeter security for critical infrastructure, airports, ports, and utilities
• 24/7 thermal surveillance in low-light and adverse weather environments
• Long-range object detection and threat identification
• Industrial monitoring and process surveillance
• Border security and checkpoint operations

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

The TNO-3050T represents a mature thermal surveillance solution for organizations requiring round-the-clock outdoor monitoring in conditions where traditional RGB cameras cannot operate. Its <60mK thermal sensitivity and 12μm pixel size enable reliable human detection and vehicle identification at extended ranges, while the narrow field of view concentrates resolution on distant threats. The uncooled microbolometer architecture eliminates cooling system complexity and maintenance, reducing lifetime operating costs.

WiseStream II smart codec and H.265 support minimize bandwidth consumption—critical for remote deployments with constrained network capacity. Advanced analytics (temperature detection, shock detection, sound classification) extend the camera's utility beyond motion-based alerting, enabling facility managers to correlate thermal, acoustic, and structural anomalies. IP66/NEMA4X certification with -40°C to +60°C operating range ensures deployment in extreme climates.

ONVIF and Wisenet API compliance facilitate integration into heterogeneous VMS platforms. For fixed narrow-field thermal surveillance at significant distances, the TNO-3050T delivers exceptional capability and reliability.
