Hanwha XNP-6371RH 2MP IR 37x PTZ IP Camera

Hanwha XNP-6371RH 2MP 37x Optical Zoom IR PTZ Camera

The Hanwha XNP-6371RH is a 2MP outdoor PTZ built for long-range perimeter surveillance and large-area coverage where fixed cameras simply cannot do the job. With a 6–222mm motorized lens delivering 37x optical zoom, 350m IR illumination, and a 150dB WDR rating, this unit covers parking structures, ports, campuses, and critical infrastructure sites where you need to positively identify subjects or vehicles at distance — day or night. It is part of the broader Hanwha surveillance camera line.

Key Features

• 37x Optical Zoom (6–222mm): The 6–222mm focal range means you can monitor a wide parking lot at 59.3° FOV and electronically zoom to 1.9° to read a license plate 100+ meters away — all without moving the camera. The F1.5 wide-end aperture keeps the image usable even as you zoom in.
• 350m IR Range: Onboard IR illumination reaches 350m (1,148 ft) — enough to cover an airport tarmac or a long perimeter fence line in complete darkness. Combined with 0 lux minimum illumination in B&W mode, you are not dependent on external lighting.
• 150dB Wide Dynamic Range: At 150dB, this PTZ handles extreme contrast scenes — a guard booth backlit by headlights, a loading dock with alternating shadow and direct sun — without blowing out highlights or crushing shadows. This is well above the 120dB floor you see on standard WDR cameras.
• ±0.2° Preset Accuracy with Auto Tracking: Preset recall lands within ±0.2° every time, which matters on guard-tour sequences where you need the camera to return to the exact framing. Auto tracking follows moving subjects automatically, useful for unmanned monitoring positions.
• Digital Image Stabilization (Gyro-Based): A built-in gyro sensor compensates for wind vibration and structural movement — important on tall mast mounts or rooftop poles where mechanical sway would otherwise blur a fully zoomed image.
• H.265 with WiseStream II: WiseStream II adaptive bitrate compression reduces bandwidth consumption compared to standard H.265 CBR, which matters when streaming 60fps 1080p across a congested network or storing 24/7 footage on-site.
• Comprehensive Edge Analytics: Directional detection, Enter/Exit, Loitering, Face detection, Appear/Disappear, Virtual line, Fog detection, Defocus detection, Sound classification, and Shock detection all run at the edge — no separate analytics server required for most perimeter use cases.
• 4 Alarm Inputs / 2 Outputs + RS-485: Four dry-contact alarm inputs and two relay outputs let you wire door contacts, fence sensors, or sirens directly. RS-485 supports multiple PTZ protocols for legacy integration alongside ONVIF.
• IP66 / IK10 Rated: IP66 keeps out direct water jets and dust; IK10 is the top vandal rating, withstanding 20-joule impacts. Both ratings are necessary for exposed outdoor deployments where physical tampering is a real risk.
• -50°C to +55°C Operating Range: This is a serious cold-climate rating. Most outdoor PTZs bottom out at -40°C; the XNP-6371RH extends to -50°C, which covers extreme northern and high-altitude installations without an external heater.
• Edge Storage up to 256GB (SD/SDHC/SDXC): A single SD slot with 256GB support gives you local failover recording when the network drops — relevant for remote sites where NVR connectivity is not guaranteed.

Integration and Compatibility

The XNP-6371RH supports PTZ camera integration via ONVIF Profile S, G, and T, plus Hanwha's SUNAPI (HTTP API) and Wisenet open platform. This covers Milestone, Genetec, Avigilon, and most other enterprise VMS platforms. Up to 20 unicast streams and 10 configurable profiles let you serve the VMS, a monitoring workstation, and a local display simultaneously. For storage planning, pair this camera with a compatible network video recorder. The optional SFP port on the RJ-45 interface supports fiber runs to remote head-end locations — useful on large campuses where copper distance limits apply. For outdoor IP cameras in general perimeter coverage, review the lens and IR range considerations in our camera selection guide. Power is 24VAC at up to 90W max — this is not a PoE device; plan for a local 24VAC transformer or camera power supply at the mounting point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum IR range on the XNP-6371RH?

A: The XNP-6371RH has onboard IR illumination rated to 350m (approximately 1,148 ft), making it suitable for long perimeter lines and large open areas in complete darkness.

Q: Does the XNP-6371RH support ONVIF?

A: Yes. It supports ONVIF Profile S, Profile G, and Profile T, which covers most enterprise VMS platforms including Milestone, Genetec, and Avigilon.

Q: Is the XNP-6371RH PoE-powered?

A: No. The XNP-6371RH requires 24VAC power with a maximum draw of 90W. A local 24VAC transformer or dedicated PTZ power supply is required — standard PoE switches will not power this unit.

Q: What is the optical zoom range and minimum focus distance?

A: The lens covers 6–222mm (37x optical zoom) with a minimum object distance of 1.5m (approximately 3.28 ft). Wide-end field of view is 59.3° horizontal; telephoto end narrows to 1.9° horizontal.

Q: What analytics does the XNP-6371RH support at the edge?

A: Edge analytics include Directional detection, Enter/Exit, Loitering, Appear/Disappear, Face detection, Virtual line, Fog detection, Defocus detection, Tampering, Audio detection, Sound classification, Shock detection, and Digital auto tracking — all processed on the camera without a separate analytics server.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the XNP-6371RH?

A: The camera operates from -50°C to +55°C (-122°F to +131°F), with storage rated to -50°C to +60°C. This covers extreme cold-climate deployments without requiring an external heater enclosure.

Marty Allison

The XNP-6371RH is one of the more capable outdoor PTZs in the Wisenet lineup specifically because of its -50°C floor and 350m IR reach — two specs that rarely appear together at this price tier. When I spec this camera, it is usually for a remote energy site, a port perimeter, or a cold-climate campus where you need a single unit to cover a lot of ground with no infrastructure lighting.

Technical Highlights:

• 37x Optical Zoom at F1.5: The F1.5 maximum aperture at wide end is noticeably brighter than competing PTZs at F1.6 or F1.8 — measurable difference when you are zoomed out and need to detect motion across a broad scene at dusk.
• Gyro-Based Digital Stabilization: Built-in gyro compensation is a real differentiator on mast or pole mounts above 5–6 meters where wind load causes enough sway to blur a 222mm telephoto image. Fixed-camera mounts rarely need this; PTZ masts almost always do.
• 24 Privacy Masks with Mosaic Option: 24 configurable zones with mosaic fill (not just black rectangles) matters in mixed-use environments — parking structures adjacent to residential areas, for example — where operators need to obscure specific windows or areas by ordinance.

Deployment Considerations:

• 24VAC at up to 90W max means you must run dedicated AC power to the mounting point — budget for a local transformer. Long cable runs will require voltage drop calculations; at 90W load, thin wire over long distances will sag below the camera's operating voltage floor.
• The SFP port is listed as optional; verify which specific accessory or mounting bracket (Hanwha SBP-303HF is referenced for hanging dome mount) includes the SFP module before finalizing your fiber topology.

This unit is the right call for unmanned perimeter posts at ports, energy facilities, or large cold-climate campuses where IR reach beyond 200m and sub-zero operation are non-negotiable requirements — not a general-purpose PTZ for typical commercial parking or retail sites where a shorter-range unit would be more cost-appropriate.
