Hanwha TNO-C3020TRA Radiometric Thermal Bullet Camera

Hanwha TNO-C3020TRA Radiometric Thermal Bullet Camera

The Hanwha TNO-C3020TRA is a compact radiometric thermal bullet camera engineered for precise temperature monitoring and advanced threat detection. Built on an uncooled micro bolometer platform with 8–14µm spectral range, this camera delivers accurate thermal imaging with exceptional sensitivity below 30mK NETD, making it ideal for industrial process monitoring, perimeter security, and critical infrastructure applications requiring both visual intelligence and quantitative thermal data.

Key Features

• Uncooled micro bolometer thermal sensor with 8–14µm spectral range and <30mK thermal sensitivity (NETD)
• Radiometric temperature detection across full field of view or up to 10 user-programmable polygonal ROI zones
• Temperature detection range: −40°C to 550°C with accuracy up to ±2°C below 150°C
• QVGA resolution (768×576 primary, 384×288 original) at up to 30fps
• 6.6mm fixed focal lens with 60° horizontal field of view and F1.0 aperture
• Triple codec support: H.265, H.264, and MJPEG with WiseStream II and WiseStream III intelligent compression
• AI-powered analytics: object detection (Person/Vehicle), virtual line crossing/direction, virtual area loitering/intrusion/enter/exit detection
• 8 motion detection zones with 8-point polygonal masking capability
• 6 privacy masking zones with selectable colors (grey, black, white)
• IP66, IK10, NEMA4X rated aluminum and polycarbonate housing
• PoE (IEEE 802.3af Class 3) or 12VDC power; typical consumption 7.7–9W
• Integrated microSD card slot (up to 1TB) for local event-triggered recording

Technical Highlights

Advanced analytics leverage Hanwha's AI engine to classify objects and trigger conditional alarms based on temperature thresholds (above/below/increase/decrease monitoring). The camera supports hybrid color palettes—Whitehot, Blackhot, Rainbow, Iron, and custom modes—for optimal image clarity across diverse operational scenarios. Spot temperature reading and BestShot functionality enhance forensic capability.

Network integration spans IPv4/IPv6, RTSP, ONVIF Profile S/G/T/M, and MQTT, enabling seamless integration into third-party VMS and IoT ecosystems. Dual audio channels (selectable mic or line input) with G.711/G.726 compression support environmental sound intelligence. Two configurable I/O ports and multiple alarm triggers (analytics, network disconnect, schedule, MQTT) enable flexible event response including SD/NAS recording, email/FTP notification, and PTZ handover.

Security features include TPM with FIPS 140-2 Level 2, secure boot, signed firmware encryption, 802.1X network authentication, HTTPS/SRTP/WSS encrypted communication, and comprehensive audit logging. The camera operates reliably from −40°C to +60°C with non-condensing humidity up to 95% RH.

Applications

• Industrial process monitoring and thermal anomaly detection
• Perimeter and critical infrastructure security
• Electrical equipment condition monitoring
• Fire detection and prevention in high-risk areas
• Research and scientific thermal analysis

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

The TNO-C3020TRA bridges thermal imaging and radiometric precision in a rugged, IP-rated form factor. Its sub-30mK sensitivity and −40 to +550°C measurement range address demanding industrial and security use cases where temperature data accuracy is mission-critical. The integration of AI object detection with thermal ROI monitoring creates a hybrid intelligence layer unavailable in standard thermal cameras, enabling predictive maintenance and early-warning security scenarios.

Dual PoE and 12VDC support, combined with extensive codec flexibility and ONVIF/MQTT interoperability, ensures deployment flexibility across legacy and modern network architectures. The FIPS 140-2 TPM and encrypted storage are essential for regulated environments. For organizations requiring both forensic thermal detail and actionable intelligence, this camera delivers enterprise-grade capabilities in a compact, field-hardened bullet design.
