Why we deploy Hanwha Vision

True AI at the edge

Hanwha's dual-NPU cameras analyze video inside the camera itself — detecting people, vehicles, and attributes in real time — so alerts are accurate and the recorder isn't overwhelmed. See AI Analytics.

Serious cybersecurity

Signed firmware, secure boot, TPM chips, and a dedicated CERT team. Hanwha publishes an SBOM and is a CVE Numbering Authority. Details on the NVR & security page.

NDAA-compliant & open

NDAA-compliant lines for government work, plus ONVIF conformance (Profiles G, M, S, T) so cameras work with third-party systems — no lock-in. More in Integrations.
