Hanwha QNO-C8083R/KEX 5MP Outdoor Vandal Bullet Camera
The Hanwha QNO-C8083R/KEX is a rugged 5MP outdoor bullet camera engineered for perimeter monitoring, entrance surveillance, and demanding environmental deployments. Built with IP66 and IK10 ratings, this vandal-resistant camera withstands harsh weather, physical impact, and continuous outdoor exposure. The motorized varifocal lens enables flexible field-of-view adjustment post-installation, eliminating costly rework while maintaining 24/7 surveillance capability through integrated infrared night vision.
Key Features
- 5MP Resolution at 30fps — Delivers crisp 5-megapixel video with multiple codec support (H.265, H.264, MJPEG) for efficient bandwidth and storage optimization without compromising image detail.
- Motorized Varifocal Lens (3.2–10.2mm, 3.2x Optical Zoom) — Adjustable focal length allows post-deployment scene optimization, with field of view ranging from 95° (wide) to 29° (telephoto).
- 120dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) — Handles extreme lighting contrasts between bright and shadowed areas, critical for entry doors, loading docks, and mixed sun/shade environments.
- IR Night Vision with 1.2m Illumination — Day/Night ICR mode with built-in infrared support enables 24/7 surveillance without auxiliary lighting.
- IP66 & IK10 Rated Construction — Aluminum housing withstands dust, water jets, rain, and significant physical impact for long-term outdoor reliability.
- PoE Power (802.3af, Class 3) — Single-cable deployment via Power over Ethernet reduces installation complexity and cabling cost.
- ONVIF Compliance — Standard protocol support ensures integration with third-party VMS platforms and enterprise security ecosystems.
- microSD Local Storage — Built-in memory support provides backup recording capability for business continuity.
- HTTPS Encryption — Secure communication protects footage and system access from unauthorized interception.

Applications
Ideal for retail entrances, warehouse perimeters, parking areas, municipal facilities, and any outdoor environment requiring robust surveillance. The combination of varifocal flexibility, vandal resistance, and all-weather durability makes this camera suitable for both fixed monitoring and flexible deployment scenarios where environmental and physical threats are present.

The QNO-C8083R/KEX balances professional-grade durability with practical operational flexibility. The motorized varifocal lens is a significant advantage in field deployments where exact mounting position cannot accommodate fixed focal lengths—installers can optimize coverage angles without repositioning hardware. The H.265 codec support reduces bandwidth by approximately 50% compared to H.264 at equivalent quality, a meaningful consideration for multi-camera outdoor systems with limited network capacity.
IP66 protection shields against washdown environments and coastal salt spray, while IK10 vandalism rating (20J impact resistance) provides confidence in high-theft or high-traffic areas. The 120dB WDR specification handles typical outdoor lighting extremes—bright sunlit concrete adjacent to building shadows—without requiring auxiliary lighting infrastructure.
IR range specification (1.2m) is modest compared to larger format cameras, positioning this unit best for close-to-medium range monitoring (entry points, signage areas) rather than long-distance perimeter coverage. PoE Class 3 power draw fits standard network switch infrastructure without requiring injectors or specialized power supplies.
Available in White.
