Hanwha PND-A9081RV/KAP 4K AI IR Dome Camera

The Hanwha PND-A9081RV/KAP delivers 4K (8MP) intelligence in a compact dome form factor, combining high-resolution imaging with embedded AI analytics for professional surveillance deployments.

Image Quality & Low-Light Performance
Built on 8MP resolution sensor technology, this camera captures fine detail across diverse lighting conditions. Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) processing balances exposure in mixed-light scenes, while integrated IR illumination extends visibility into complete darkness. The varifocal lens with DC auto iris and P iris control adapts focal length and aperture automatically, optimizing image quality from wide-angle to telephoto perspectives without manual reconfiguration.

Robust Build & Environmental Tolerance
Engineered for both indoor and semi-outdoor deployment, the camera carries IP52 (dust and water resistance) and IK10 (impact resistance) ratings. Aluminum construction and white finish support integration into modern control room and facility environments. Operating across –25°C to +50°C (–13°F to +122°F) temperature range with humidity tolerance up to 90% RH, the unit maintains performance in climate-controlled spaces and temperature-variable areas. Extended storage rating (–50°C to +60°C) ensures safe transport and warehousing.

Built-In Analytics & Intelligent Monitoring
People Counting analytics enable occupancy tracking, crowd density monitoring, and foot-traffic analysis without external processing. This on-camera intelligence reduces bandwidth and server load while delivering real-time operational insights. Title display capability (up to 85 characters) supports camera identification and event annotation directly within video streams.

Network Integration & Standards Compliance
Full ONVIF Profile S/G/T support guarantees compatibility with industry-standard VMS platforms and third-party devices. Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 BASE-T) via metal-shielded RJ-45 ensures reliable data transmission. Triple compression support—H.265, H.264, and MJPEG—provides flexibility in bandwidth optimization and storage efficiency. Audio input capability enables two-way communication and environmental sound monitoring. Powered by PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) or 12VDC, simplifying installation in existing infrastructure.

The PND-A9081RV/KAP is well-suited for facilities requiring intelligent people-counting without heavy server overhead. The 8MP resolution and varifocal lens deliver flexibility in placement, while PoE+ power keeps cabling simple. IP52 rating limits outdoor use to covered/semi-protected areas, but the IK10 rating and aluminum build make it durable for retail, hospitality, and enterprise environments. ONVIF compliance ensures you're not locked into proprietary software ecosystems.
