Hanwha PNM-C20000QB 4CH 2MP Network Remote Head Camera
The Hanwha PNM-C20000QB is a Wisenet P series multi-sensor network camera that consolidates up to 4 channels into a single compact form factor, delivering comprehensive monitoring coverage for retail, banking, transportation, and industrial environments. This advanced platform supports 4CH x 2MP @ 30FPS operation with triple codec support (H.265/H.264/MJPEG) for flexible streaming and storage optimization, while maintaining exceptional image quality through WDR and day/night capabilities.
Key Features
- 4-Channel multi-sensor design with 2MP per channel
- H.265, H.264, and MJPEG video compression for optimal bandwidth management
- Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) for high-contrast environments
- Integrated day/night functionality with automatic switching
- Real-time people counting analytics for retail and operational intelligence
- PoE+ (802.3at) power delivery with Class 4 support
- ONVIF compatibility for seamless integration with third-party VMS platforms
- Dual connectivity via Ethernet and Wi-Fi for flexible deployment
- HTTPS encryption for secure data transmission
- microSD card support for local storage backup
Technical Specifications
The camera delivers 2MP resolution per channel with H.265 codec support for efficient bandwidth utilization and reduced storage requirements. WDR technology ensures clear imagery in mixed lighting conditions, while integrated day/night capability enables 24/7 surveillance without additional lighting infrastructure. PoE+ power eliminates separate power infrastructure, simplifying installation and reducing cabling costs. The compact form factor at 0.7 lbs makes this remote head ideal for space-constrained installations while maintaining professional-grade monitoring capabilities.
Analytics & Intelligence
Built-in people counting functionality provides real-time occupancy metrics and traffic pattern analysis, critical for retail floor management, queue optimization, and capacity planning. The camera supports dual connectivity options—Ethernet and Wi-Fi—ensuring reliable deployment in diverse network environments. Audio input capability enables two-way communication and incident documentation, enhancing situational awareness for security personnel.
Ideal Applications
- Retail stores and shopping centers for traffic and conversion analysis
- Banking and financial institutions for entrance/exit monitoring
- Transportation hubs and stations for crowd management
- Industrial facilities for personnel safety and access control
- Corporate campuses requiring multi-point surveillance from single mounting locations
Ted PerryPerspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.
The PNM-C20000QB represents an intelligent consolidation strategy for multi-location monitoring scenarios. By combining four 2MP sensors in a single compact housing, integrators reduce installation footprint while maintaining full ONVIF compatibility for legacy VMS environments. The H.265 codec support is particularly valuable for bandwidth-constrained networks, potentially reducing bitrate by 50% compared to H.264 without quality loss.
For retail environments, the integrated people counting analytics eliminate the need for external software licenses, delivering immediate ROI through actionable occupancy data. The PoE+ power class ensures reliable operation in varied environmental conditions, and microSD local recording provides failover recording if network connectivity is temporarily disrupted. This camera is best deployed where multi-point coverage from a single remote head location provides superior sight lines compared to traditional fixed domes.
