Hanwha Vision has unveiled its upgraded 2nd Generation X Series Stainless Steel AI Cameras, featuring the advanced Wisenet 9 AI-native System on Chip (SoC) and robust stainless-steel exteriors. These cameras are crafted for environments where durability is as crucial as intelligent performance, offering enhanced AI capabilities, superior image clarity, and improved operational efficiency.
The latest models, XNV-A8084RS and XNV-A9084RS, bring the 2nd Generation X Series into settings that face constant issues of environmental exposure, corrosion, and physical impact. Thanks to their stainless steel construction which maintains AI efficiency, these cameras present reliable surveillance solutions for industrial locations, the food sector, transportation infrastructure, and coastal or harsh environmental sites.
Advanced processing for real-time data
Central to these cameras is the Wisenet 9 SoC, which utilises a dual NPU design, allowing video processing and AI analytics to operate with their own dedicated resources. This division of labour prevents resource competition, thus sustaining high image quality even amid demanding object detection and analytical processes.
Ensuring durability, these cameras have undergone rigorous environmental and reliability tests
Ensuring durability, these cameras have undergone rigorous environmental and reliability tests. They hold several ingress protection certifications, confirming resistance to dust, water immersion, and high-pressure washdowns, which makes them ideal for moisture-laden and industrial environments. The cameras also feature a nylon dome that withstands yellowing from sunlight and harsh chemicals, perfectly suited for marine or chemical-exposed settings.
Efficiency in bandwidth and energy use
Hanwha Vision’s Eco Mode, utilising WisePower ECO and WiseStream technologies, minimises energy consumption while preserving high security standards. WisePower adjusts power based on IR illumination needs, achieving optimal energy efficiency and visibility in low-light conditions. WiseStream's AI-driven bandwidth reduction techniques apply greater compression to non-essential elements, maintaining detailed image quality for essential features like people and vehicles.
Cybersecurity is foundational within these cameras, featuring Secure Boot, Secure OS, and encrypted firmware to deter unauthorised software execution. Video and credentials are protected through encryption, and the cameras meet FIPS 140-3 Level 3 standards, ensuring enterprise-grade protection for sensitive surveillance infrastructure. A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) further enhances transparency and cybersecurity resilience.
ISO/IEC 42001 certification and AI management
The X Series cameras boast cutting-edge features like Wisenet 9 with dual NPU for AI analytics
Hanwha Vision has obtained the ISO/IEC 42001 certification, marking a significant step in AI management systems by ensuring a human-centric development framework. This underscores the company's commitment to responsible innovation, risk management, and accountability throughout the AI lifecycle.
The X Series cameras boast cutting-edge features like Wisenet 9 with dual NPU for AI analytics, edge-based detection for faces, objects, vehicles, and license plates, and metadata attributes such as gender and vehicle type. Additional features include superior low-light image enhancement, Dynamic Privacy Masking for data protection, and compliance with stringent environmental standards, confirming their suitability for demanding settings.
The introduction of the XNV-A8084RS and XNV-A9084RS models expands the 2nd Generation X Series lineup, delivering smarter detection, clearer imaging, and lasting operational reliability in robust environments where resilience is paramount.
Hanwha Vision introduces the 2nd Generation X Series Stainless Steel AI Cameras powered by Wisenet 9 AI-native System on Chip (SoC) and engineered with reinforced stainless-steel housing. They are designed for deployments where durability is as critical as intelligence, delivering advanced AI performance, image clarity, and operational efficiency.
The new cameras, the XNV-A8084RS and XNV-A9084RS, extend the capabilities of the 2nd Generation X Series into locations where environmental exposure, corrosion, and physical impact are constant challenges. By integrating stainless steel construction without compromising AI performance, Hanwha Vision enables reliable surveillance in industrial facilities, the food industry, transportation infrastructure, and coastal or environmentally demanding installations.
Delivers actionable metadata
At the core of these cameras is the Wisenet 9 SoC. Wisenet 9 SoC leverages a dual NPU architecture, ensuring that video processing and AI analytics each have dedicated resources. By preventing these functions from competing for processing power, the system maintains consistently high image quality, even when performing intensive object detection and analytics.
This advanced platform improves object detection, attribute extraction, and image processing while providing greater control over AI functions. Processing intelligence directly within the camera reduces latency, optimizes bandwidth usage, and delivers actionable metadata in real time.
Chemically demanding environments
These cameras’ durability is validated through extensive environmental and durability testing. Multiple ingress protection certifications confirm resistance to dust, water immersion, and high-pressure washdowns, enabling reliable operation in moisture-heavy and industrial environments. The stainless-steel models feature a nylon dome, which resists yellowing from sun exposure and harsh chemicals, making it especially suitable for washdowns and marine or chemically demanding environments.
Additional compliance with impact, vibration, thermal cycling, and high-humidity standards ensures long-term stability in locations exposed to mechanical stress, temperature extremes, and corrosive conditions. Together, these certifications reinforce the suitability of stainless-steel models for demanding outdoor, infrastructure, and industrial deployments where durability and environmental resilience are critical.
Bandwidth reduction technology
Hanwha Vision’s Eco Mode, powered by WisePower ECO and WiseStream technologies, is designed to significantly reduce energy consumption while maintaining uncompromised security performance.
Hanwha Vision’s WisePower technology dynamically adjusts power usage based on IR illumination requirements, optimising energy consumption while maintaining clear visibility in low-light and complete darkness. WiseStream, Hanwha Vision's bandwidth reduction technology, leverages AI-based object detection to apply higher compression to non-AI objects and background areas, while preserving maximum image quality for relevant objects such as people and vehicles. This intelligent, selective compression significantly reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without impacting evidential detail where it matters most.
Critical surveillance infrastructure
Cybersecurity remains a foundational element of these cameras, incorporating Secure Boot, Secure OS, and encrypted firmware to prevent unauthorized software execution. Credentials and captured video are protected through encryption, while the integrated secure element meets FIPS 140-3 Level 3 requirements, delivering enterprise-grade protection for critical surveillance infrastructure.
To further strengthen transparency and cyber resilience, Hanwha Vision also provides a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), offering full visibility into the software components within our devices. This enables customers to proactively manage vulnerabilities, support compliance requirements, and maintain greater control over their cybersecurity posture.
Advanced AI analytics
In addition, we have achieved ISO/IEC 42001 certification — the world’s first international standard for a certifiable Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS). This demonstrates that Hanwha Vision’s AI technologies are governed by a human-centric framework, ensuring accountability, risk management, and responsible innovation at every stage of development.
By combining advanced AI analytics, exceptional image quality, and stainless-steel durability, the 2nd Generation X Series Stainless Steel AI Cameras deliver intelligent video surveillance in environments where resilience is non-negotiable. With this launch, the 2nd Generation X Series Camera lineup continues to expand, delivering smarter detection, clearer images, and long-term operational confidence.
