Hanwha Vision Unveils Cloud and AI Solutions at ISC West 2025
At ISC West 2025, Hanwha Vision showcased a suite of cloud and AI solutions that go beyond traditional security, transforming into powerful business intelligence tools. asmag.com sat down with Hanwha on-site to get the inside scoop.
Wisenet 9 SoC
A key highlight was the Wisenet 9 System-on-Chip (SoC), Hanwha Vision’s proprietary chipset. Already integrated into their X and P series cameras, this SoC offers improved power efficiency, a built-in AI NPU (Neural Processing Unit), and enhanced performance in challenging environments.
Aaron Saks, Director of Sales Enablement at Hanwha Vision, emphasized the advantages of in-house chipset development. “We found limitations in third-party chips regarding processing power, power consumption, multi-sensor support, high frame rates, analytics capabilities, and lifespan. By manufacturing our own chipsets, we control our destiny and fine-tune everything to our exact specifications, without being dependent on external manufacturers discontinuing production,” Saks explained.
Hanwha Vision Cloud Portal
The Hanwha Vision Cloud Portal serves as a centralized platform for managing an organization’s surveillance assets and capabilities, with a focus on openness and flexibility.
“Our system isn’t restrictive,” Saks stated. “Users can move their cameras between our cloud and a VMS as needed. Even if they decide to stop using our cloud services, the cameras will continue to function. We also offer a gateway appliance that allows users to integrate older, non-cloud-native cameras into our cloud platform, avoiding costly forklift upgrades.”
Hanwha’s cloud provides a comprehensive range of features that revolutionize surveillance operations, extending its utility to business intelligence applications. SightMind is a prime example.
“SightMind provides users with visually appealing, customizable dashboards,” Saks elaborated. “They can easily drag and drop widgets to display specific camera feeds, such as the front doors of all their locations, and gain a holistic view of key metrics like foot traffic, incident counts, slip-and-fall accidents, obstructed fire exits, and excessive checkout queue times. This empowers them to leverage surveillance data for a variety of business purposes.”
Multi-sensor camera
Hanwha also displayed its 4-channel AI multi-sensor camera, powered by the NVIDIA Jetson Platform. This collaboration brings unparalleled performance to the forefront. “Typical cameras have an AI processing performance of around three or four TOPS (trillions of operations per second),” Saks explained. “This camera, equipped with the NVIDIA board, boasts 70 TOPS. This allows us to build a robust ecosystem with software companies as analytics partners.”
Beyond visible light
Responding to customer demand, Hanwha introduced solutions that extend beyond visible light. One example is their audio beacon, designed to detect and alert users to sounds like screams and breaking glass. Also on display was their turret thermal camera, offering a compelling balance of cost and performance.
“We’ve received numerous requests for more affordable thermal cameras,” Saks noted. “Traditional thermal cameras can be expensive and bulky. We’ve been developing more compact cameras, leveraging our SOC chipset to make them more accessible.”
He added, “This enables us to deploy thermal cameras in unexpected places. Previously associated with nuclear power plants and perimeter security for large manufacturing facilities, thermal cameras are now being used as sensors and detectors for applications like monitoring machinery overheating, EV charging stations, and batteries. We’re seeing a surge in customer requests for thermal imaging in applications we never anticipated.”
