Product SKU: HAN-WAVE-PRO-04
Product Overview
For installers and integrators deploying Hanwha IP cameras across small to mid-scale sites, the Wisenet WAVE 4x IP Camera Licence provides the software entitlement to connect 4 cameras to the Wisenet WAVE Video Management System. WAVE is Hanwha’s purpose-built VMS designed to take full advantage of the onboard analytics and advanced features found in Hanwha Wisenet cameras. Featuring a drag-and-drop interface, automatic camera discovery, and built-in multi-server redundant failover with no additional licences required, WAVE is engineered to reduce setup time and operational complexity. It supports up to 128 channels per server and scales to 50 clients, making it equally capable in single-site deployments and larger server hive configurations. Licences purchased under this SKU do not expire, and the platform integrates natively with Inner Range Inception for combined video and access control management from a single application.
Key Capabilities
Built-In Redundant Failover
Multi-server failover for up to 128 devices is built directly into the WAVE platform, covering camera availability automatically without requiring a separate failover licence purchase. This reduces both cost and configuration overhead for installers managing critical sites.
Smart Motion Search
Operators can rapidly locate footage using the smart motion search tool, reducing the time spent scrubbing through recordings. This is particularly useful in retail, commercial, or multi-camera deployments where incident review needs to be fast and efficient.
Drag-and-Drop Interface
A fully drag-and-drop layout system allows operators to arrange live and recorded camera feeds across single monitors or video walls. Customisable layouts mean display configurations can be adjusted to suit the specific monitoring requirements of any site.
Scalable Server Architecture
WAVE supports up to 128 channels per server and up to 50 clients, with the ability to link multiple servers into a server hive. The 4-licence entry point allows staged growth, so sites can expand their camera count without replacing their VMS platform.
Inner Range Inception Integration
WAVE integrates bi-directionally with Inner Range’s Inception access control system, enabling video surveillance and access control to be managed together within a single mobile application. This reduces the need for separate monitoring interfaces across combined security installations.
Best For
- Small Site Deployments: The 4-channel licence is suited to installations with a compact camera count, such as small offices, retail stores, or single-floor commercial tenancies running Hanwha Wisenet cameras.
- Staged System Expansion: Sites that plan to grow their camera count over time can start with this 4-licence pack and add licences incrementally as the installation scales up.
- Combined Video and Access Control Projects: Installers specifying Inner Range Inception alongside Hanwha cameras benefit from the native bi-directional integration built into WAVE, managing both systems from one interface.
- Hanwha Wisenet X Series Deployments: WAVE is fully integrated with the Wisenet X series, making this licence the natural software pairing for sites built around Hanwha’s advanced IP camera range.
Why Choose the Wisenet WAVE 4x IP Camera Licence
The HAN-WAVE-PRO-04 licence provides access to a VMS that has been purpose-designed around Hanwha Wisenet camera capabilities rather than adapted from a generic platform. Unlike third-party VMS solutions that may not expose the full feature set of Hanwha cameras, WAVE provides complete integration with the Wisenet X series and its onboard analytics. The built-in multi-server redundant failover covering up to 128 devices eliminates the need for a separate failover licence, which represents a genuine cost saving for installers building resilient systems. Licences do not expire, removing subscription renewal concerns for end users. The platform’s events and rules engine, HTTP integration support, and one-click software updates make it a practical long-term platform choice. Available through Security Wholesalers, the HAN-WAVE-PRO-04 is a practical starting point for Hanwha-based installations requiring a capable, brand-native VMS.
Buyer Decision Tips
ARM Server Compatibility: The Wisenet WAVE licence cannot be activated on ARM-based servers. Before purchasing, confirm that the server or PC you intend to run WAVE on uses an x86 processor architecture. ARM-based mini PCs and some embedded devices are not supported. If your hardware is already selected, verify the processor type before finalising your licence purchase.
One Licence Per Camera: Each camera connected to the WAVE server requires one licence channel. This 4-licence pack covers exactly 4 cameras. If your site requires more cameras, additional licence packs will need to be added. Plan your camera count carefully before ordering to avoid gaps in coverage or the need for urgent additional purchases during installation.

Ideal Use Cases
Small Commercial Offices
A 4-channel licence covers a compact office environment with cameras at key entry points, reception, and internal corridors. The drag-and-drop interface allows staff or a security operator to manage live and recorded views without specialist VMS training.
Retail Stores
Retail environments with a small camera count benefit from WAVE’s smart motion search, which speeds up footage review following a stock loss or incident. Automatic camera discovery simplifies initial setup when cameras are connected to the network.
Access Control and Video Combined Sites
Sites specifying Inner Range Inception for access control alongside Hanwha cameras can leverage WAVE’s native bi-directional integration to operate both systems through a single mobile application, reducing complexity for security personnel.
Staged Multi-Site Rollouts
Installers managing phased deployments across multiple sites can begin each location with a 4-licence pack and add channels as required. Because licences do not expire, the investment carries forward without additional renewal costs as the system grows.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are deploying 4 Hanwha Wisenet IP cameras and need a native VMS with built-in failover, smart motion search, and no-expiry licensing running on an x86-based server.
- Choose a different model if: Your site requires more than 4 camera connections from the outset, in which case a higher-channel WAVE licence pack will provide the required capacity without needing to combine multiple smaller packs. If your server hardware is ARM-based, WAVE is not compatible and an alternative VMS platform will be required.
FAQs
- How many cameras does the HAN-WAVE-PRO-04 licence support?
The HAN-WAVE-PRO-04 provides 4 camera licence channels. Each camera connected to the Wisenet WAVE server requires one channel, so this licence pack covers exactly 4 cameras. If your installation requires additional cameras, supplementary licence packs must be purchased and applied to the same server.
- Do the Wisenet WAVE licences expire?
No. Licences purchased under the HAN-WAVE-PRO-04 do not expire. Once activated, the 4 camera channels remain available indefinitely without ongoing subscription fees or annual renewals. This is a perpetual licence arrangement, which simplifies long-term cost planning for end users and integrators.
- Can WAVE be activated on any server or PC?
No. Wisenet WAVE cannot be activated on ARM-based servers. The software requires an x86 processor architecture. Before purchasing, confirm your server or workstation uses an Intel or AMD processor. ARM-based mini PCs and embedded devices are excluded from WAVE licence activation.
- Is a separate failover licence needed to enable redundancy in WAVE?
No additional failover licence is required. Multi-server redundant failover for up to 128 devices is built into the Wisenet WAVE platform. This is a meaningful difference compared to some competing VMS platforms that charge separately for failover functionality. The failover capability is available as part of the standard WAVE installation.
- Does WAVE work with non-Hanwha cameras?
WAVE supports third-party IP cameras through standard protocols and HTTP integration, in addition to its full native integration with Hanwha Wisenet cameras. However, the advanced onboard analytics and deep feature integration are specific to Hanwha Wisenet cameras, particularly the X series. For installations using exclusively Hanwha hardware, WAVE provides the most complete feature access. Available at Security Wholesalers, the HAN-WAVE-PRO-04 is designed to pair with Hanwha Wisenet IP camera deployments.
- How does the Inner Range Inception integration work with WAVE?
Wisenet WAVE integrates bi-directionally with Inner Range’s Inception access control system. This means operators can control and monitor both the CCTV and access control systems through a single mobile application rather than managing two separate platforms. The integration is built into WAVE and does not require custom middleware or third-party bridging software.
