Modern security cameras don't just record — they understand. Hanwha Vision's AI analytics and cloud platform are what convert a wall of video into actionable security and even business intelligence.
On-camera AI analytics
Hanwha's AI cameras perform object detection and classification at the edge — distinguishing people, vehicles, faces, and license plates — and extract attributes that make footage searchable by description rather than by scrubbing. Newer AI features extend to capabilities like re-identification and AI sound classification, delivered in part through downloadable AI Packs that add functions to capable cameras over time. Because the analysis runs in the camera, the system flags what matters in real time and makes the archive instantly searchable.
Business intelligence
The same analytics produce operational insight beyond security: people counting, heat mapping, queue management, and occupancy data that retailers and facilities managers use to make decisions. A camera that's already watching the door can also tell a store manager when their busiest hour is.
Cloud services
Hanwha's cloud portfolio makes all of this remote and manageable. OnCloud handles remote device management and access; SightMind delivers AI-driven business-intelligence dashboards and analytics; and BLAZE is a cloud-native VMS option. Wisenet 9 cameras connect to these services natively, without extra on-site appliances.
Why it matters
The shift from "cameras that record" to "cameras that understand" changes what PDI can offer a customer: faster investigations through searchable AI, fewer missed events through real-time detection, business insight as a bonus, and remote management that keeps a large deployment healthy. That intelligence layer is increasingly the reason a customer chooses a professional system over a consumer one.
