• HPoE powered (IEEE 802.3bt Class 6); typical 20W consumption

Performance & Detection Range

The XNP-8250R achieves exceptional detection distances across all performance tiers. In wide mode, the camera detects subjects at 398.7 feet and recognizes detail at 79.7 feet. In telephoto mode, detection extends to 9,232 feet with recognition possible at 1,846 feet—enabling identification of vehicles and individuals across vast perimeters. Minimum illumination of 0.1 Lux (color) and 0 Lux with IR ensures reliable operation throughout night hours. The camera supports multiple preset positions (300 presets), swing tours, group assignments (6 groups), trace sequences, and scheduled auto-run patterns for flexible monitoring workflows.

Video Compression & Streaming

Triple codec support (H.265, H.264 Main/Baseline/High, MJPEG) provides flexibility across diverse network architectures. WiseStream II smart codec reduces bandwidth by up to 50% through region-based selective compression. The camera supports unicast (20 simultaneous users) and multicast (128 users) streaming with up to 10 concurrent profiles at resolutions ranging from 320x240 to 3328x1872. Frame rates reach 30fps (60Hz) across all codecs, with frame-by-frame precision control for bandwidth optimization.

Advanced Analytics & Security

Built-in AI engine delivers real-time analytics including directional detection, fog detection, face detection, motion detection (8 polygonal zones), appear/disappear events, line-crossing, loitering, tampering, and shock detection. Optional audio detection and sound classification available with NW I/O Box. Privacy masking supports 32 polygonal zones with color and mosaic options. Alarm triggers can activate on analytics events, network disconnect, or external inputs, with actions including FTP/email upload, SD/NAS recording, and PTZ preset handover. Security features include HTTPS/SSL, digest and login authentication, IP filtering, user access logging, 802.1X authentication, and device certificates from Hanwha Techwin Root CA.

Environmental Durability

Engineered for extreme conditions, the XNP-8250R operates from -40°C to +55°C (-40°F to +131°F) with extended thermal handling to +74°C per NEMA-TS 2 standards. IP66 and IK10 ratings provide complete dust/water sealing and vandal resistance. Water removal (spinning dry) prevents lens fogging. The aluminum body with polycarbonate hard-coated dome ensures longevity in coastal, industrial, and temperature-variable environments.

The XNP-8250R positions itself as a premium outdoor PTZ solution for organizations prioritizing long-range detection and AI-driven intelligence. The 800x total zoom magnification (25x optical + 32x digital) enables operator-driven identification tasks without additional cameras, reducing deployment costs. Extreme WDR at 120dB handles backlit scenes (e.g., vehicle headlights, sunlit reflections) better than standard WDR, critical for perimeter security.

WiseStream II codec optimization is particularly valuable in bandwidth-constrained networks or high-camera-count deployments. The built-in gyro-stabilized DIS addresses PTZ drift at maximum zoom speeds, improving usability for remote operators. Auto-tracking with dual detection modes (person/vehicle) reduces manual panning, though recognition accuracy depends on ambient illumination and subject size.

Dual SD slots and 1TB capacity provide 24-48 hours of local backup at typical bitrates, offering resilience against network failures. HPoE integration simplifies cabling but requires compatible injector infrastructure. Ideal for airports, ports, highways, critical infrastructure perimeters, and large commercial campuses where detection range and analytics-driven alerting justify the higher acquisition cost.
