Hanwha HCB-6001 2MP HD+ Box Camera
The Hanwha HCB-6001 is a professional-grade 2MP analog HD box camera purpose-built for system integrators and installers deploying hybrid analog surveillance networks. Delivering Full HD 1080p resolution at 30fps with multi-format compatibility (AHD, TVI, CVI, CVBS), this camera bridges legacy coaxial infrastructure with modern image quality, making it an ideal solution for retrofit installations and mixed-environment deployments requiring extended transmission distances and simplified control protocols.
Key Features
- Full HD 1920×1080 resolution at 30fps across all supported formats
- 120dB true Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) for balanced exposure in backlit and high-contrast scenes
- Day/Night operation with Internal IR Cut Filter (ICR) for seamless low-light transitions
- Exceptional low-light sensitivity: 0.09 Lux in color (F1.2), 0.009 Lux in B/W
- Multi-format analog support: AHD, TVI, CVI, and CVBS compatibility
- RS-485 and coaxial protocol control (ACP, TCP, CCP) for flexible integration
- Up to 500-meter transmission distance over standard coaxial cable
- Integrated motion detection and privacy masking analytics
- SSNR IV digital noise reduction for cleaner imagery in low-light conditions
- Dual power supply: 24VAC or 12VDC (6W maximum consumption)
Technical Specifications
The HCB-6001 features a compact aluminum and polycarbonate chassis measuring 130.9 × 73.1 × 67.2mm, designed for discreet ceiling or wall-mounted installations. The camera requires a separate CS-mount lens (2MP or higher rating) and operates reliably across extended temperature ranges from -10°C to +55°C. Its multi-format output capability eliminates the need for separate camera models when upgrading or maintaining heterogeneous analog systems, reducing inventory complexity for system integrators.
Applications
Ideal for indoor environments with mixed or variable lighting conditions, the HCB-6001 excels in retail spaces, office buildings, educational facilities, and commercial properties where Wide Dynamic Range compensation is critical. The 120dB WDR performance ensures balanced exposure when cameras face windows, glass partitions, or areas with significant ambient light variation. Low-light performance supports 24/7 monitoring in storage areas, parking structures, and dimly lit commercial spaces. Backward compatibility with existing analog infrastructure and coaxial transmission makes this camera particularly valuable for facilities modernizing surveillance systems incrementally without complete rewiring.

The HCB-6001 represents a mature solution in the analog HD camera category, delivering robust performance for systems where fiber-optic or IP migration is impractical. The 120dB WDR specification is competitive for analog cameras and effectively addresses the primary limitation of legacy CVBS systems—poor handling of backlit scenes. The multi-format support (AHD, TVI, CVI, CVBS) is particularly valuable for integrators managing heterogeneous environments or phased upgrades.
With 500-meter coaxial transmission capability and RS-485 control, this camera maximizes existing cabling infrastructure investment. The 0.009 Lux B/W sensitivity is exceptional for analog, enabling effective night vision without external IR illumination in many scenarios. Power consumption at 6W is minimal, supporting longer cable runs and reducing power supply dimensioning requirements.
The simple focus design and CS-mount compatibility provide flexibility in lens selection but require manual setup during installation.
