• extremeWDR (120dB) for exceptional visibility in high-contrast lighting
• WiseStream II smart codec with manual multi-area encoding for bandwidth optimization
• Triple codec support: H.265, H.264 (Main/High), and MJPEG for maximum flexibility
• Advanced analytics: motion detection, loitering, directional detection, tampering, shock detection, and face/upper body recognition
• Business intelligence: people counting, queue management, and heatmap generation
• Digital image stabilization with built-in gyro sensor
• Dual SD/SDHC/SDXC card slots (up to 1TB total) for local edge storage
• Bi-directional audio with selectable mic/line input and built-in microphone
• 32-zone privacy masking with multiple color and mosaic options
• 8-zone motion detection with 8-point polygonal areas
• Hallway View (90°/270° rotation) for optimized narrow-space deployment

Technical Highlights

The XNB-8002 offers exceptional low-light performance with color operation at 0.05 Lux and monochrome at 0.005 Lux (F1.2, 1/30sec), making it suitable for 24/7 monitoring in challenging environments. Its extremeWDR technology ensures clarity in backlit and high-contrast scenes, while the SSNRⅤ digital noise reduction maintains image quality in low-light conditions.

Comprehensive connectivity includes Gigabit Ethernet with IPv4/IPv6 support, RS-485 interface for PTZ head control (Samsung-T, Pelco-D/P, Panasonic, Bosch, and others), and 2 configurable alarm I/O ports. The camera supports ONVIF Profile S/G/T, SUNAPI HTTP API, and Wisenet open platform for seamless integration into diverse VMS ecosystems.

Security features include HTTPS/SSL encryption, digest and login authentication, IP address filtering, 802.1X authentication (EAP-TLS, EAP-LEAP, EAP-PEAP MSCHAPv2), and pre-installed Hanwha Techwin Root CA certificates. Flexible power delivery via PoE (IEEE 802.3af), 12VDC, or 24VAC with power redundancy failover ensures reliable operation in various installation scenarios.

Lens & Mount Options

The camera supports C-mount and CS-mount configurations with DC auto iris, P iris, manual, and I-CS lens compatibility. Simple focus control and lens distortion correction (LDC) with fill/stretch modes accommodate diverse optical setups.

Applications

Ideal for retail analytics, banking and financial institutions, transportation hubs, industrial facilities, and critical infrastructure requiring high-resolution surveillance combined with intelligent event detection and edge storage capability.

The XNB-8002 represents a mature, feature-rich box camera platform optimized for fixed, wide-angle surveillance with strong emphasis on edge intelligence and codec efficiency. Its 6MP native resolution (non-thermal) paired with extremeWDR and gyro-assisted stabilization makes it well-suited for outdoor and high-dynamic-range indoor applications. The dual SD card architecture and NAS recording capability provide reliable localized backup, critical for deployments where network bandwidth or storage infrastructure may be constrained.

WiseStream II compression, combined with H.265 support, delivers meaningful bandwidth savings—particularly valuable in multi-camera installations. The rich analytics suite (people counting, queue management, directional detection) enables real-time business intelligence without third-party VMS plugins. RS-485 integration and ONVIF compliance ensure broad compatibility, though integrators should verify lens availability in their region and confirm PoE budget (12.95W max) aligns with network infrastructure.

The camera's operating range (-10°C to +55°C) and compact form factor (81×67×165mm) make it practical for retrofit and new-build scenarios. Low-light performance at 0.005 Lux monochrome is exceptional for perimeter and night-time surveillance, though the 15fps MJPEG maximum should be noted if smooth motion playback is required at lower frame rates.
