Hanwha ACO-8020R A Series 5MP IR bullet camera

Hanwha ACO-8020R Overview

The Hanwha ACO-8020R is a 5MP analog HD IR bullet camera built for indoor and outdoor surveillance deployments requiring robust all-weather performance and infrared night vision. Part of the Wisenet A Series, this hybrid-protocol camera delivers maximum 5MP resolution at 30 FPS (20 FPS for CVI) with selectable AHD, TVI, CVI, or CVBS output formats, making it compatible with existing hybrid DVR and transmission infrastructure. The ACO-8020R combines IP67 weatherproofing with IK10 vandal resistance, delivering mission-critical reliability in harsh environments while maintaining a compact, cost-effective form factor.

Hanwha ACO-8020R Key Features

• 5MP Resolution at 30 FPS: Captures 2592x1944 video at maximum frame rate for real-time surveillance; CVI variant supports up to 4MP at 30 FPS for bandwidth-constrained deployments.
• 20-Meter IR Range: Built-in infrared LED array delivers 20m (65.6 ft) viewable distance in complete darkness (0 lux B/W mode), enabling 24/7 monitoring without auxiliary lighting.
• Multi-Protocol Hybrid Support: Selectable output between AHD (ACP), TVI (TCP), CVI (CCP), and CVBS (Pelco-C) via coaxial control, eliminating the need for separate camera SKUs across mixed analog systems.
• Digital WDR (DWDR): Compensates for high-contrast scenes and backlighting through digital wide dynamic range processing, maintaining detail in both bright and shadow areas simultaneously.
• Day/Night ICR Switching: Automatic Infrared Cut-off filter (ICR) transitions between color mode (0.4 lux minimum illumination) and monochrome IR mode for seamless low-light performance without manual intervention.
• Fixed 3.6mm Lens with 94° Horizontal FoV: Wide-angle 3.6mm focal length delivers 94° horizontal and 54° vertical field of view (83.9° H / 63.4° V / 104° diagonal optical FoV), ideal for corridor, entry-point, and general-area coverage.
• IP67 and IK10 Rated: Dust and water-resistant enclosure (IP67) rated for full submersion; IK10 impact resistance (20J, 2kg hammer) protects against vandalism and accidental collision in high-traffic areas.
• 300-Meter Coaxial Transmission: Supports 300m signal run over 5C2V coaxial cable, reducing infrastructure costs by leveraging existing BNC and coax installations.
• Advanced Video Processing: Includes 2D + 3D digital noise reduction (2DNR + 3DNR), automatic gain control (OFF/LOW/MIDDLE/HIGH), and electronic shutter speed automation (1/30 to 1/50,000 sec) for adaptive image quality across lighting conditions.
• Low Power Consumption: Operates on 12VDC with typical power draw of 4.3W and maximum 5.4W, reducing power budget impact and enabling extended battery-backed or solar deployment scenarios.
• White Housing for Overt Deterrence: Aluminum and plastic construction in white finish provides visible security presence while maintaining compact 70(W) x 69(H) x 186(D)mm dimensions and 420g weight for easy installation.

Hanwha ACO-8020R Operational Modes & Controls

The ACO-8020R supports auto and manual white balance (ATW / AWC), backlight compensation (BLC), and electronic image rotation (MIRROR/V-FLIP/ROTATE) for flexible mounting in landscape or portrait orientation. Manual shutter control and gain adjustment provide integrators granular exposure tuning when automatic modes are insufficient. Coaxial protocol support enables remote PTZ-style camera control and protocol switching through compatible DVR platforms without additional wiring.

Hanwha ACO-8020R Environmental Specifications

Rated for operating temperatures from -30°C to +55°C (-22°F to +131°F) and storage from -30°C to +60°C (-22°F to +140°F), with 0–90% relative humidity tolerance. The camera meets TAA compliance (TAA Compliant model: ACO-8020R/KEX) for U.S. federal procurement, and achieves IP67 and IK10 certifications per international standards for weatherproof and impact-resistant outdoor deployment.

Hanwha ACO-8020R Integration & Compatibility

The ACO-8020R is compatible with any hybrid analog DVR or surveillance system supporting AHD, TVI, CVI, or CVBS video input. Coaxial control protocols (ACP for AHD, TCP for TVI, CCP for CVI, Pelco-C for CVBS) enable PTZ and protocol switching via the DVR control interface. No IP connectivity or network configuration is required; installation is plug-and-play via BNC connectors and 12VDC power, making it suitable for deployments where IP infrastructure is unavailable or undesirable.
