Hanwha Vision, a provider of security and video surveillance solutions, has launched the latest addition to its lineup, the SolidEDGE camera.

According to the company, this camera, which comes in two models, the PNV-A6081R-E1T and PNV-A6081R-E2T, is the first real solid state (SSD) drive-based camera with an embedded server on the market. This combination of a server-less cloud-managed solution via Wisenet WAVE Sync and a camera with built-in SSD storage provides reliability for any business.

Running on the edge

Hanwha Vision says that one of the most significant benefits of the SolidEDGE camera is running the Wisenet WAVE VMS on the edge.

Traditional video surveillance systems require a separate server to manage the cameras, events, record and playback, which can be costly and time-consuming to set up and maintain. The company highlights that with the SolidEDGE camera, there is no need for a separate server, meaning it provides reliable video surveillance without needing a complicated setup or scheduling OS and security updates.

The SolidEDGE camera runs on the embedded Linux operating system, featuring a quad-core CPU, a dedicated encoder and 4GB of RAM. Additionally, Hanwha says the built-in rugged industrial-grade SSD, not only hosts the recording server but also stores the recorded video.

Benefits of the SSD:

1. The SSD hosts the recording of video, database and WAVE installation files, ensuring that any incident is captured without any delay
2. It makes the system more reliable since there is no need to rely on external servers or cloud storage
3. The recorded video is more secure, as it is stored locally and is not susceptible to hacking or unauthorized access

The SolidEDGE camera allows scalability and flexibility. Hanwha Vision says that as each camera can connect and record up to five additional cameras, organizations can easily expand their surveillance systems as their needs grow. In addition, it comes equipped with cloud video management using WAVE Sync, which enables users to remotely access and manage the surveillance system, keep the camera up-to-date and manage its video footage and data on-premise and from the cloud. This allows users to customize their surveillance system according to their specific needs easily.

Additional features

The company emphasizes that with a plethora of features, including the server-less solution, built-in SSD storage, flexible system structure, cloud video management and enhanced cybersecurity, the camera has set a new standard in the industry.

The SolidEDGE camera’s durability and weather resistance ensure the camera can also withstand extreme conditions and provide uninterrupted surveillance. Overall, Hanwha says the SolidEDGE camera is ideal for organizations that demand a reliable, flexible, cost-effective and advanced video surveillance solution.
