Hanwha HCB-6000 2MP HD+ Box Camera
The Hanwha HCB-6000 is a compact 2MP analog HD box camera designed for standard surveillance deployments requiring Full HD resolution and reliable performance across diverse lighting conditions. Built for integration with existing analog infrastructure, this camera supports AHD, TVI, CVI, and CVBS transmission protocols while delivering professional-grade imaging at 1080p resolution.
Key Features
- Full HD 1080p resolution at 30 fps (NTSC/PAL)
- 120 dB true WDR for high-contrast environments
- Motorized ICR (Internal Color Filter) for day/night operation
- Ultra-low light sensitivity: 0.09 Lux (Color) / 0.009 Lux (B/W) at F1.2
- CS-mount lens design (2MP or higher lens sold separately)
- Dual power inputs: 24 VAC or 12 VDC operation
- Motion detection and privacy masking support
- Coaxial protocol support with RS-485 serial control
Technical Highlights
The HCB-6000 excels in challenging lighting environments thanks to its 120 dB true WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology, which preserves detail in both bright and dark areas simultaneously. The motorized internal color filter enables automatic day/night switching, ensuring optimal color reproduction during daylight and superior monochrome sensitivity in low-light conditions. SSNR IV digital noise reduction minimizes artifacts in challenging scenarios without sacrificing image clarity.
With a maximum transmission distance of 500 meters over coaxial cable and support for multiple coaxial protocols (ACP, TCP, CCP, CVBS), the camera integrates seamlessly into existing analog surveillance systems. The electronic shutter offers adjustable speed control for fine-tuned exposure management. At only 3.5W power consumption, it operates efficiently on both 12 VDC and 24 VAC supplies, simplifying installation across diverse infrastructure.
Installation & Design
The HCB-6000 features a compact aluminum and polycarbonate housing measuring 68.4W × 59.6H × 92.7D mm and weighing just 186g, enabling flexible mounting in confined spaces. Its operating temperature range of −10°C to +55°C accommodates both indoor and outdoor deployments with proper housing. The CS-mount design requires a separate lens (2MP or higher), allowing customization for specific focal lengths and field-of-view requirements.
Compatible Housing Options
The HCB-6000 works with Hanwha's SHB housing series for outdoor protection and weatherproofing:
- SHB-4200 Indoor/Outdoor Housing
- SHB-4200H Indoor/Outdoor Fixed Camera Housing
- SHB-4300H1 Indoor/Outdoor Fixed Camera Housing
- SHB-4301HP Indoor/Outdoor Fixed Camera Housing
Typical Applications
Ideal for retail stores, office buildings, parking facilities, and surveillance networks requiring reliable Full HD performance without complex IP infrastructure. The camera's low power consumption and dual power input options make it suitable for legacy analog systems and cost-sensitive deployments where HD+ image quality is essential.

The HCB-6000 represents excellent value for organizations maintaining analog surveillance infrastructure. Its 120 dB WDR and motorized ICR combination delivers performance typically associated with more expensive camera systems, while backward compatibility with AHD/TVI/CVI/CVBS protocols eliminates costly infrastructure replacement. The sub-0.01 Lux sensitivity in monochrome mode positions it well for low-light retail and parking applications.
However, purchasing decisions should account for lens costs (sold separately) and the need for proper housing selection for outdoor deployments. For systems prioritizing plug-and-play analog integration over IP flexibility, the HCB-6000 offers compelling image quality and ease of deployment.
