Hanwha XNP-C6403R/KEX 2MP PTZ Camera with AI

The Hanwha XNP-C6403R/KEX is a TAA-compliant network PTZ camera engineered for large-area outdoor surveillance requiring extended optical reach, exceptional low-light performance, and advanced AI-driven analytics. With 2MP resolution at up to 60 fps, a 4.25mm–170mm (40x optical zoom) lens, 200-meter adaptive Wise IR coverage, and 150dB extreme wide dynamic range, this camera delivers forensic-quality imagery across challenging environmental conditions. Rated IP66 and IK10 with NEMA 4X compliance, it is built for weather-exposed and vandalism-prone installations where reliability and performance cannot be compromised.

Key Features

• 2MP Resolution at 60 FPS — Captures high-frame-rate video suitable for tracking fast-moving subjects and generating forensically detailed evidence without motion blur.
• 40x Optical Zoom (4.25mm–170mm Lens) — Extended focal range enables identification and monitoring from significant distances, critical for perimeter security, parking structures, and wide-area surveillance applications.
• 200-Meter Adaptive Wise IR with Lens Heater — Maintains visibility in complete darkness and adverse weather. The integrated lens heater eliminates water droplets and snow buildup, ensuring uninterrupted coverage in rain, snow, and freezing conditions.
• Extreme 150dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) — Captures shadow and highlight detail simultaneously in high-contrast scenes such as backlit entrances and mixed lighting environments.
• Day/Night Capability — Automatic switching between color and infrared modes ensures continuous surveillance regardless of lighting conditions.
• PoE++ Power Delivery (Class 6) — Supports high-power devices through standard Ethernet cabling, simplifying installation and reducing infrastructure costs.
• H.265/H.264 Video Compression — Multiple codec support enables efficient bandwidth utilization and seamless integration with diverse network architectures.
• ONVIF Compatibility — Ensures interoperability with third-party management platforms and VMS solutions.
• MicroSD Local Storage Support — Enables on-camera backup for redundancy and offline access to critical footage.
• HTTPS Encryption — Protects video streams and management traffic with industry-standard encryption protocols.

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

The XNP-C6403R/KEX represents Hanwha's commitment to outdoor PTZ excellence with its combination of 40x optical zoom, extreme WDR capability, and integrated lens heater—a critical feature often overlooked in camera specifications. The 150dB WDR is particularly valuable in mixed-lighting scenarios where traditional cameras would sacrifice detail in either shadows or highlights. PoE++ Class 6 power support eliminates the need for separate power infrastructure, reducing total cost of ownership in retrofit deployments.

ONVIF compatibility ensures vendor lock-in mitigation across your security ecosystem. The camera's TAA compliance is essential for government and federally funded projects. The built-in microSD slot provides an additional layer of video redundancy—recommended for mission-critical surveillance where network connectivity interruptions must not result in footage loss.

For organizations requiring AI-driven analytics, this platform supports Hanwha's WiseNet AI capabilities for intelligent event detection and forensic search.
