Hanwha Techwin has launched three new Samsung Wisenet P Series 4K cameras equipped with H.265 compression and WiseStream, a complementary compression technology which dynamically controls encoding, balancing quality, and compression according to movement in the image. As a result, the bandwidth and storage requirements of the 12MP resolution images captured by the Wisenet P cameras are significantly reduced and are similar to that normally used by lower resolution Full HD H.264 cameras.
WiseStream technology
“The sharpness and clarity of 4K cameras need to be seen to be believed, but they can come at a cost,” said Chris Parry, Country Manager – UK & Ireland for Hanwha Techwin Europe. “Multi-pixel, high definition images can quickly fill up the capacity of an NVR or server when recorded at full frame rate and resolution. The good news is that Hanwha Techwin design engineers have cleverly solved this problem by developing our unique WiseStream technology.”

When WiseStream is combined with H.265 compression, bandwidth efficiency can be improved by up to 75% compared to current H.264 technology. This ensures that Hanwha Techwin Europe’s new Wisenet P 4K ultra high definition cameras, along with the Wisenet Q 2MP and 4MP cameras which were introduced earlier this year, are among the most bandwidth friendly cameras available.
Digital Auto Tracking
Hanwha Techwin believes it has set the benchmark in performance and value for 4K cameras. In addition to bandwidth and storage efficiency, the new Wisenet P cameras feature Digital Auto Tracking which during times of low activity, such as night time, can be used to detect moving objects or people. The cameras also share a long list of innovative features with Wisenet Q 2MP and 4MP cameras, such as IR illumination as standard and Defocus Detection which recognises when a camera is out of focus, as well as True Wide Dynamic Range, Hallway View and Lens Distortion Correction, to deliver optimised images in every situation.
Wisenet P models:
