Hanwha TNO-C3042T Thermal Bullet Network Camera
The Hanwha TNO-C3042T is a compact QVGA thermal network bullet camera engineered for long-range detection and classification of people and vehicles in complete darkness, adverse weather, and low-contrast conditions. Built on an uncooled microbolometer sensor with radiometric-class thermal performance, this camera delivers superior image detail and temperature measurement accuracy where conventional cameras are blind.
Key Features
- QVGA thermal resolution with 8fps upsampling: 384 x 288 native resolution with support for upsampled 768 x 576 at 8 fps
- Long-range 13mm fixed focal lens with 28.5° horizontal field of view optimized for perimeter and mid-to-long-range surveillance
- Uncooled thermal sensor with radiometric-class performance for temperature measurement accuracy
- AI-powered object detection and classification via WiseStream III support for Person and Vehicle detection
- Advanced virtual analytics: virtual line crossing/direction, virtual area loitering/intrusion/enter/exit, motion detection, tampering, audio detection, sound classification, and shock detection
- Triple codec support: H.265, H.264, and MJPEG with WiseStream compression technology
- PoE power delivery via 802.3af standard
- IP66 rated weatherproof design for outdoor deployment
- IK10 impact resistance for vandal-prone environments
Technical Specifications
The TNO-C3042T features a fixed 13mm lens with a 28.5° horizontal field of view, making it ideal for perimeter monitoring and mid-to-long-range surveillance applications. The QVGA thermal resolution of 384 x 288 pixels is further enhanced through 8fps upsampling to 768 x 576, allowing operators to achieve larger monitoring footprints without sacrificing image clarity. Multiple codec support including H.265 delivers efficient bandwidth utilization, critical for thermal surveillance systems requiring continuous monitoring. The compact bullet form factor combined with IP66 weatherproofing and IK10 impact rating ensures reliable outdoor operation in harsh conditions.
Applications
Ideal for perimeter security, critical infrastructure protection, industrial facility monitoring, border and coastal surveillance, and any environment requiring 24/7 thermal detection capabilities. The AI-driven analytics and WiseStream III integration enable automated threat detection and reduce false alarm rates, making this camera suitable for enterprise-level security deployments where accuracy and operational efficiency are paramount.
