Hanwha HCB-7000A HD+ 4MP box camera

Hanwha HCB-7000A Overview

The Hanwha HCB-7000A is a 4MP Wisenet HD+ analog box camera designed for flexible analog surveillance deployments requiring high resolution and extended transmission distance. This model captures QHD (2560 x 1440) video at 30 fps and supports both AHD and CVBS output formats, making it compatible with existing analog infrastructure while delivering modern resolution and image quality. The HCB-7000A is engineered for straightforward installation with dual power options and coaxial control, ideal for integrators building cost-effective surveillance systems across retail, industrial, and commercial environments.

Hanwha HCB-7000A Key Features

• QHD 4MP Resolution: Captures 2560 x 1440 video at 30 fps, delivering sharp detail for identification and forensic review in analog surveillance.
• Low-Light Performance: Achieves 0.16 lux in color (F1.2, 1/30 sec) and 0.009 lux in black and white, enabling effective monitoring in dim environments without IR dependency.
• Day & Night with ICR: Automatic image contrast reversal (ICR) switches between color and monochrome modes for optimal performance across 24-hour cycles.
• Digital Wide Dynamic Range (DWDR): Balances exposure in mixed-light scenes, suppressing bright and dark areas to maintain image detail across the frame.
• Extended Transmission Distance: Achieves up to 500m coaxial transmission, supporting longer cable runs without signal degradation in large installations.
• Dual Power Support: Operates on 24VAC or 12VDC (max 3.6W consumption at either voltage), providing installation flexibility and reduced power draw.
• AHD and CVBS Output: Ships with BNC AHD output and additional CVBS connection for installation flexibility, supporting both modern analog HD and legacy CVBS infrastructure.
• RS-485 / Coaxial Control: Supports Samsung-T and Pelco-D/P serial protocols for camera control via coaxial cable or dedicated control lines.
• Motion Detection and Privacy Masking: Includes 4-zone motion detection and 2-zone privacy masking for selective monitoring and privacy compliance.
• Manual Focus and Auto-Iris Lens: Equipped with DC auto-iris lens and manual focus control to adapt to varying light conditions and scene requirements.
• Compact Box Design: Dimensions of 59.6 x 68.4 x 92.7 mm (2.35 x 2.69 x 3.65 inches) with aluminum and polycarbonate construction weigh just 186g (0.41 lb), enabling discreet placement in tight spaces.
• Environmental Durability: Rated for -10°C to +55°C (14°F to 131°F) operating temperature with 0–90% RH non-condensing humidity tolerance.

Hanwha HCB-7000A Video Processing and Analytics

The HCB-7000A includes 2D digital noise reduction (2DDNR) to suppress grain in low-light footage, maintaining clarity during night-shift or underlit surveillance. Electronic shutter speed ranges from 1/30 to 1/12,000 sec (NTSC) or 1/25 to 1/12,000 sec (PAL), providing precise flicker-free exposure control. White balance modes—including automatic (ATW), automatic color (AWC), manual, indoor, and outdoor presets—ensure accurate color reproduction across changing lighting. Gain control offers four levels (Low, Middle, High, Very High) to balance sensitivity without excessive noise amplification. Motion detection in four independent zones supports event triggering and alarm output for integration with DVR systems and external automation.

Hanwha HCB-7000A Compatibility and Integration

The HCB-7000A integrates with Hanwha's Wisenet DVR lineup including the SHB-4200H, SHB-4200, SHB-4301HP, STB-4150V, and SHB-4300H1 recorders. RS-485 serial control supports both Samsung-T and Pelco-D/P protocols, enabling PTZ-style commands and parameter adjustment through standard DVR control interfaces. The dual-output design—BNC AHD primary with CVBS auxiliary—allows simultaneous connection to modern analog HD recorders and legacy CVBS systems during migration scenarios. Coaxial transmission up to 500m simplifies long-distance deployments without requiring dedicated power or control infrastructure.
