Hanwha QNO-C8083R/KEX Q network outdoor vandal bullet camera

Hanwha QNO-C8083R/KEX Overview

The Hanwha QNO-C8083R/KEX is a 5MP outdoor vandal-resistant bullet camera designed for perimeter monitoring, entrance surveillance, and general outdoor security applications. Built with aluminum construction rated IP66 and IK10, this camera withstands environmental exposure and physical impact in demanding deployment environments. The motorized 3.2x varifocal lens (3.2–10.2mm) combined with AI-powered video analytics delivers flexible framing and intelligent object detection without separate edge computing.

Hanwha QNO-C8083R/KEX Key Features

• 5MP Resolution at 30fps — Captures 5 megapixel video at a maximum 30 frames per second across H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codec options, enabling efficient bandwidth and storage management without sacrificing detail clarity.
• Motorized Varifocal Lens (3.2–10.2mm, 3.2x Optical Zoom) — Horizontal field of view ranges from 95° (wide) to 29° (telephoto); vertical field of view ranges from 69° (wide) to 21° (telephoto), allowing post-installation focal length adjustment to optimize scene coverage and eliminate rework.
• 120dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) — Handles challenging lighting environments with high contrast between bright and shadow areas, critical for entry doors, loading docks, and mixed sun/shade scenes.
• AI-Powered Night Vision with 30m IR Range — Day/Night ICR mode and infrared illumination rated 30 meters (98 feet) viewable distance support 24/7 surveillance without auxiliary lighting. Low-light performance: 0.07 lux color (F1.6, 1/30 sec) and 0.007 lux B/W (F1.6, 1/30 sec, 30 IRE).
• Triple Codec Compression (H.265, H.264, MJPEG) — Supports modern H.265 for efficient bandwidth reduction, legacy H.264 for broad compatibility, and MJPEG for motion-critical scenes. WiseStream III codec optimization (based on AI engine) further reduces bitrate without quality loss.
• WiseNR II Noise Reduction (AI-Powered) — Reduces video noise in low-light conditions using deep learning, maintaining detail clarity in infrared footage and dimly-lit outdoor scenes.
• AI-Based Object Detection and Classification — Built-in NPU identifies Person and Vehicle object types with sub-classification for vehicles (car, truck, bus, bicycle, motorcycle). Enables rule-based alerting and filtering on metadata without post-processing overhead.
• Intelligent Video Analytics (WiseMD) — AI-driven events include Virtual Line (crossing direction detection), Virtual Area (loitering, intrusion, entry/exit, appear/disappear), and motion detection. Reduces false alarms typical of legacy pixel-based detection.
• Selectable Audio Input — Microphone or line-level audio input supports two-way communication or ambient audio logging as deployment requires.
• IP66 and IK10 Rated — Sealed against dust and water ingress under high-pressure wash; rated for impact resistance equivalent to 5kg steel ball drop from 1.25 meters, protecting the optic and housing in vandal-prone environments.
• PoE Powered (802.3af) — Maximum 12W typical 5.3W power consumption over standard PoE, eliminating separate power runs and simplifying outdoor installations in multi-camera deployments.
• microSD Card Slot — Local edge recording capability for redundancy and offline backup without dependency on central NVR.

Hanwha QNO-C8083R/KEX Integration and Deployment

The QNO-C8083R/KEX operates on an open platform architecture supporting ONVIF compatibility with mainstream VMS software and integrators' preferred recording platforms. Hanwha Vision CloudConnector for Q series cameras enables flexible on-premises and hybrid cloud workflows. USB connector facilitates firmware updates and configuration without network dependency during initial setup. The camera mounts to single-gang, double-gang, or 4-inch octagon electrical boxes, simplifying retrofit installations in existing structures. Operating temperature range of –30°C to +55°C (–22°F to +131°F) qualifies the unit for North American and cold-climate deployments.

Hanwha QNO-C8083R/KEX Performance Metrics (EN62676-4 DORI Standard)

Detection (25 PPM / 8 PPF) reaches 42.7m wide / 186.9m telephoto; Observation (63 PPM / 19 PPF) achieves 17.2m wide / 75.4m telephoto; Recognition (125 PPM / 38 PPF) spans 8.5m wide / 37.4m telephoto; Identification (250 PPM / 76 PPF) covers 4.3m wide / 18.7m telephoto. These metrics inform optimal placement for license plate capture, person identification, and general wide-area monitoring tasks.
