Hanwha Techwin America, a global supplier of IP and analog video surveillance solutions, and a Multi-Award Winner in the 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program, will launch two new AI-powered dual-channel multi-sensor cameras featuring powerful deep-learning based object detection and classification, and license-free video and audio analytics, at ISC West in booth #14079.

The new PNM-C12083RVD supports 15fps image capture and true 120dB WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) without compromising the frame rate for each of its 6MP sensors.

Motorized varifocal lenses offer a focal range of 3.54–6.69mm for a flexible field of view adjustment in each direction.

Likewise, the new PNM-C7083RVD supports 30fps with 120dB WDR for each of its 2MP sensors.

The camera’s motorized varifocal lenses support a range of 3.0–6.0mm.

The new multi-directional AI cameras’ deep-learning algorithms can reliably identify multiple distinct objects, detect and classify people, vehicles, faces, and license plates in real-time, to greatly enhance video analytics accuracy.

False alarms due to non-interesting motion, like wind-blown trees, shadows, or animals are significantly reduced.

“With AI, analytics become a reliable source of events to the operators helping them know where to look for important real-time events,” explained Ramy Ayad, Director of Product Management, Hanwha Techwin America.

“Bringing AI technology to multi-sensor cameras provides tremendous value and installing efficiency for our partners and their customers.”

Camera-generated metadata (whether it be a person, face, vehicle, license plate, etc.), is embedded in the video allowing a compatible VMS to use the data for highly efficient forensic search.

The cameras also generate BestShot (a frame containing the object detected) which can be displayed during forensic search results to assist the operator in making a quick selection.

AI-based Image Enhancements:

• Artificial Intelligence also plays an important role in image quality for each channel.

• WiseNR II noise reduction is a new enhancement that utilizes AI to identify object movement and reduce blur in noisy, low-light environments.

• AI-based Preferred Shutter technology automatically adjusts the shutter speed based on classified objects in motion and the lighting conditions in a scene to reduce motion blur and deliver the clearest images possible.

AI-based Bandwidth Reduction with WiseStream III:

• By utilizing the results of Artificial Intelligence-based object detection on each sensor, WiseStream III technology adjusts the video encoder to focus maximum video quality on the detected objects in a scene while scaling back encoding on the rest of the scene.

• When combined with H.265 compression technology, this user-adjustable feature can provide data reduction of up to 80% depending on the environment.

The new AI-powered multi-sensor cameras will be available for order at ISC West in booth #14079.

Our 2021 keynote speaker featured a moving and informative address from TSA Administrator and Vice-Admiral of the United States Coast Guard (Ret), David Pekoske; to our attendees who traveled from across the United States and abroad, on the strategic priorities of the 64,000 member TSA workforce in securing the transportation system, enabling safe, and in many cases, contactless travel.

Legendary Police Commissioner William Bratton of the New York Police Department, the Boston Police Department, and former Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department was also live at the event, meeting with attendees and signing copies of his latest work ‘The Profession: A Memoir of Community, Race, and the Arc of Policing in America,’ courtesy of the generosity of our 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Premier Sponsors.
