Product SKU: QNV-8010R
Product Overview
Ceiling-mounted across retail stores, banking branches, offices and similar small-to-medium commercial environments, the Hanwha Wisenet QNV-8010R is a 5MP outdoor vandal dome camera built to deliver consistent image quality within a compact, IK10-rated housing. Featuring a 2.8mm fixed lens at F2.0 and a 1/2.8″ CMOS sensor, it captures up to 5MP at 30fps with 120dB wide dynamic range for scenes that mix direct light and shadow. Equipped with WiseStream II compression alongside H.265 codec support, bandwidth and storage demands can be cut significantly compared to H.264 deployments. It also integrates 20m IR illumination, a micro SD card slot for up to 128GB of local edge storage, and IP66 weather resistance alongside the IK10 vandal-proof rating – making it suitable for both sheltered indoor ceilings and exposed outdoor mounting positions such as building entrances and covered walkways.
Key Capabilities
5MP Resolution at 30fps
The 1/2.8″ CMOS progressive scan sensor delivers 5-megapixel images at up to 30 frames per second, providing enough detail to capture faces, signage and transaction areas in retail and banking environments without frame rate compromise.
120dB Wide Dynamic Range
With 120dB WDR, the QNV-8010R handles challenging mixed-lighting scenes – such as a shopfront entrance with bright daylight behind subjects – by balancing exposure across the frame to maintain readable detail in both bright and shadowed areas.
WiseStream II and H.265 Compression
WiseStream II dynamically adjusts bitrate based on scene complexity, and when combined with H.265 encoding, bandwidth consumption can be reduced by up to 75% compared to standard H.264 – reducing both network load and storage requirements across multi-camera deployments.
20m IR with 0-Lux Night Sensitivity
Built-in IR illumination reaches up to 20 metres, enabling usable black-and-white footage in complete darkness. Colour capture activates from 0.15 lux, keeping the camera effective in low-light indoor settings before IR switches in automatically.
IK10 Vandal Resistance and IP66 Weather Rating
The IK10-rated dome housing withstands deliberate physical impact, making it appropriate for publicly accessible ceiling positions such as retail floors, lift lobbies and building entries. IP66 weather sealing extends installation options to outdoor-exposed positions.
Best For
- Retail Ceiling Coverage: The 2.8mm wide-angle lens suits overhead mounting in shops and supermarkets where broad floor coverage from a single ceiling position is the priority.
- Banking and Office Interiors: 5MP resolution at 30fps captures transaction counter and reception detail, while WiseStream II keeps bandwidth manageable across multiple camera feeds on a shared network.
- Outdoor Entrances and Covered Walkways: IP66 and IK10 ratings allow installation at building entries, under eaves and in covered outdoor passages where weather exposure and physical interference are concerns.
- Sites with Limited NVR Storage: WiseStream II with H.265 reduces storage footprint significantly, extending footage retention on systems where expanding NVR storage capacity is not practical.
Why Choose the QNV-8010R
The QNV-8010R sits in Hanwha’s Wisenet Q series, which is positioned specifically for small-to-medium commercial applications where image quality and network efficiency matter more than feature complexity. Unlike basic 2MP dome cameras that require higher bitrates to manage motion blur at lower resolutions, the QNV-8010R pairs a 5MP sensor with WiseStream II and H.265 to deliver sharper images with a lower overall bandwidth cost. The 120dB WDR performance addresses a common failure point in entry-level domes: washed-out or silhouetted footage near windows and entrances. The IK10-rated dome housing provides protection appropriate for customer-facing positions without requiring a separate vandal guard. Defocus detection alerts the system when the lens view degrades, and focus adjustments can be made remotely over the network. Available through Security Wholesalers, the QNV-8010R is a practical fixed-lens dome for installers who need a reliable 5MP solution without over-specifying for straightforward indoor and light-outdoor applications.
Buyer Decision Tips
Fixed Lens Angle Consideration: The QNV-8010R uses a fixed 2.8mm lens with no optical zoom or varifocal adjustment. At ceiling heights of 2.4m to 3m, the wide field of view covers broad floor areas well, but the lens cannot be narrowed to focus on a specific counter, doorway or point of interest at a distance. If the installation requires targeted coverage of a defined zone rather than wide-area floor monitoring, a camera with a longer fixed focal length or a motorised varifocal lens would be a more appropriate choice.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail Shop Floors
The 2.8mm wide-angle lens covers broad floor areas from ceiling mounting positions, while 5MP resolution retains enough detail to identify individuals and products across the frame in high-footfall retail settings.
Bank Branches and Financial Counters
120dB WDR manages the contrast between teller workstations and exterior window light, capturing usable detail across the full counter area without requiring additional lighting adjustments.
Office Receptions and Corridors
Hallway view mode lets installers reorient the frame to suit long, narrow corridor layouts – providing better coverage along the corridor run compared to a standard wide-aspect configuration.
Building Entrances and Covered Walkways
IP66 weather sealing and IK10 vandal-proof construction allow mounting at building entry points, under covered outdoor walkways and in semi-exposed positions where weather and physical interference are realistic concerns.
Lift Lobbies and Stairwells
The IK10-rated housing is appropriate for publicly accessible indoor spaces where the camera is at risk of intentional interference. The compact dome form factor maintains a low-profile ceiling appearance in shared-access areas.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a 5MP fixed-lens vandal dome for ceiling mounting in retail, office or banking environments where wide-angle coverage, IK10 impact resistance and efficient H.265 compression are the primary requirements.
- Choose a different model if: The scene requires a narrower field of view to isolate a specific zone at distance – a camera with a longer fixed focal length or motorised varifocal lens would allow better framing without losing resolution on the target area.
- Choose a different model if: The installation requires active deterrence features such as strobe lighting or audio warnings, as the QNV-8010R does not include these capabilities.
FAQs
- What resolution and frame rate does the QNV-8010R support?
The QNV-8010R captures at 5 megapixels and supports up to 30 frames per second at full resolution. This combination makes it suitable for scenes where smooth motion recording is required alongside the higher detail level that 5MP provides over standard 2MP or 4MP cameras. - How does WiseStream II reduce storage and bandwidth requirements?
WiseStream II works by dynamically adjusting the bitrate based on the complexity of the scene – reducing it during periods of low activity and increasing it when motion occurs. When paired with H.265 encoding, the combined bandwidth saving can reach up to 75% compared to H.264 alone, which extends NVR storage capacity without requiring additional hardware. - What field of view does the 2.8mm fixed lens provide?
The 2.8mm focal length at F2.0 produces a wide field of view suited to overhead ceiling mounting. At typical indoor ceiling heights of 2.4m to 3m, it covers a broad floor area effectively. It cannot be adjusted or zoomed, so installers should confirm the coverage angle suits the specific room dimensions before installation. - Is the QNV-8010R suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. The camera carries an IP66 rating for dust and water ingress protection, making it appropriate for outdoor positions that are exposed to rain and weather. The IK10 vandal-proof rating adds impact resistance, allowing it to be used at outdoor building entrances, covered walkways and other accessible external positions. - What is defocus detection and how does it benefit an installation?
Defocus detection is an onboard analytic that identifies when the camera lens has lost sharpness – for example due to deliberate tampering, condensation or lens contamination. When triggered, it generates an alert so the issue can be addressed promptly. Focus can also be adjusted remotely over the network, avoiding the need for a physical site visit to correct the lens position. - Does the QNV-8010R support local storage, and what capacity is supported?
The QNV-8010R includes a micro SD card slot compatible with micro SD, SDHC and SDXC cards up to 128GB. This allows edge recording directly to the camera as a backup option or as a standalone recording method where a centralised NVR is not part of the installation. The QNV-8010R is part of the Security Wholesalers range of Hanwha Wisenet cameras, supplied with local support.
