Product SKU: QNO-C8013R-1
Product Overview
Perimeter monitoring across exposed outdoor sites calls for a camera that holds up to the environment as well as it performs at night, and the Hanwha QNO-C8023R is engineered with exactly that in mind. This aluminium-bodied bullet camera carries a fixed 4 mm lens and delivers 5MP (2592 x 1944) resolution at up to 30 fps from a 1/2.8″ progressive scan CMOS sensor, covering an 80-degree horizontal field of view suited to driveways, loading docks, building facades, and car park approaches. Built-in IR illumination reaches 30 metres for clear monochrome imaging in complete darkness. Featuring Hanwha’s smart object analytics, the QNO-C8023R actively classifies people and vehicles to trigger line crossing, intrusion, and loitering events with greater accuracy than motion-only detection. Equipped with 120 dB wide dynamic range and WiseStream III compression, it balances image quality and storage efficiency across variable lighting conditions. The IP66-sealed and IK10-rated housing makes it a dependable choice for exterior walls, fence lines, and other exposed mounting positions.
Key Capabilities
5MP Resolution at 30 fps
The 2592 x 1944 sensor captures fine detail across wide outdoor approaches, supporting identification of number plates and faces at practical perimeter distances when the camera is mounted at appropriate height.
30 m IR Night Vision
Built-in infrared illumination covers up to 30 metres in complete darkness, making the QNO-C8023R well suited to unlit driveways, loading bays, and car parks where ambient light is absent or unreliable.
Smart Object Analytics
On-camera AI classifies detected objects as people or vehicles before triggering events such as line crossing, intrusion, or loitering. This reduces nuisance alerts from wind, foliage, and animals that would otherwise activate motion-based rules.
120 dB Wide Dynamic Range
The 120 dB WDR engine manages scenes where bright sky, headlights, or reflective surfaces appear alongside shadowed areas, keeping usable detail across the full image for exterior and entry-point applications.
IP66 and IK10 Housing
The aluminium bullet body is rated IP66 for full dust exclusion and water jet resistance, and IK10 for protection against 20-joule impacts. This combination suits exposed wall mounts, eaves, and locations accessible to the public.
Best For
- Car Parks and Loading Docks: The 30 m IR range and vehicle classification analytics allow reliable monitoring of vehicle movement and after-hours intrusion across open outdoor spaces.
- Building Perimeters and Fence Lines: The bullet form factor allows directional mounting on exterior walls and poles to cover access paths, gates, and boundary lines with a fixed 80-degree field of view.
- Commercial Exteriors and Entry Points: The 5MP sensor resolves detail at entry doorways and driveways, supporting post-event review when person or vehicle events have been logged by the analytics engine.
- Sites Requiring Edge Recording: MicroSD/SDHC/SDXC support up to 256 GB allows standalone local storage as a backup or primary recording method where network recording is unavailable at a specific camera position.
Why Choose the QNO-C8023R
The QNO-C8023R sits in a practical middle ground for outdoor commercial installations: it delivers genuine 5MP resolution with on-camera AI object classification, without requiring the infrastructure of more complex active deterrence or full-colour models. The 120 dB WDR handles the lighting conditions common to car parks, driveways, and loading areas, while WiseStream III compression keeps storage and bandwidth consumption in check across multi-camera NVR deployments. A simpler motion-detection camera at a lower price point cannot distinguish between a person crossing a virtual line and a shadow or tree branch, which is where the QNO-C8023R’s person-and-vehicle analytics provide a measurable operational advantage. The IK10 impact rating adds confidence in locations where vandal risk is a consideration, and the PoE Class 3 power draw keeps installation straightforward. The QNO-C8023R is available at Security Wholesalers as part of the Hanwha Q Series range for installers and integrators.
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens and Mounting Distance: The fixed 4 mm lens provides an 80-degree horizontal field of view, which works well for general area coverage at distances of 5 to 15 metres. If you need to cover a narrower corridor, longer driveway, or require tighter framing on a specific point such as a gate or doorway, a longer fixed focal length would be more appropriate. Because this lens is fixed and cannot be adjusted, confirm the mounting position and coverage requirement before installation.

Ideal Use Cases
Car Parks
Vehicle classification analytics trigger intrusion and loitering events, while 30 m IR ensures usable imagery across unlit bays and access lanes at night.
Loading Docks and Warehouse Entries
The bullet form factor and fixed 4 mm lens suit directional wall mounting to monitor dock doors and entry points, with 5MP resolution supporting post-incident review of personnel and vehicles.
Building Perimeters and Fence Lines
The IP66 and IK10 housing withstands rain, dust, and impact in fully exposed outdoor positions. Virtual line crossing and intrusion rules can be mapped to boundary edges to flag after-hours access attempts.
Retail and Commercial Exteriors
The 120 dB WDR handles the lighting variation common at shopfronts and entry doors, where direct sunlight, glass reflection, and interior light sources all appear within the same frame.
Educational and Public Sites
The QNO-C8023R covers outdoor walkways, shared access paths, and car park entries at schools and public facilities, with person detection providing actionable event logs rather than continuous motion recordings.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a robust outdoor bullet camera with 5MP resolution, 30 m IR, and on-camera AI object classification for perimeter walls, car parks, loading docks, or building exteriors where a fixed 4 mm (80-degree) field of view suits the coverage requirement.
- Choose a different model if: Your site requires a wider field of view for a large open area (consider a wider fixed focal length or varifocal option), longer IR reach for distances beyond 30 m, full-colour night imaging without IR, or pan-tilt-zoom capability for active scene control.
- Consider the 2.8 mm variant if: The same camera platform is needed for a wider field of view, for example at a building corner or open yard where the 80-degree angle of the 4 mm lens does not capture enough of the scene. The 2.8 mm QNO-C8013R is the companion model for that application.
FAQs
- What types of events can the QNO-C8023R detect and trigger?
The camera classifies objects as people or vehicles and can trigger rule-based alerts for line crossing, intrusion into a defined zone, and loitering beyond a set time threshold. Best-shot capture and colour attribute data are also logged to support post-event search.
- How does the 4 mm lens affect coverage at typical outdoor mounting heights?
At a mounting height of 3 metres, the 80-degree horizontal field of view covers approximately 5 to 6 metres of ground width at 5 metres distance. For broader scene coverage, such as a wide car park entry or open yard, the 2.8 mm version provides a wider angle. For coverage beyond 15 to 20 metres with detail retention, a longer focal length would be more suitable.
- Is the IR effective across the full 30 m range?
The stated 30 m IR range assumes ideal conditions. Real-world performance depends on surface reflectivity, mounting angle, and environmental factors such as fog or heavy rain. For consistently usable imagery at the outer range, mount the camera at the appropriate height and avoid angling it steeply downward, which shortens effective IR throw.
- Can the QNO-C8023R record locally without an NVR?
Yes. A microSD, SDHC, or SDXC card up to 256 GB can be installed directly in the camera for edge recording. This provides a backup recording path if the network or NVR is unavailable, or a standalone recording option for single-camera deployments.
- What PoE standard does this camera require?
The QNO-C8023R operates on IEEE 802.3af PoE at Class 3, with a maximum draw of 8.1 W and a typical consumption of 4 W. A standard 802.3af-compliant PoE switch or injector is sufficient. No 802.3at (PoE+) supply is required.
- Is the QNO-C8023R compatible with third-party VMS and NVR platforms?
The camera supports ONVIF compliance, making it compatible with most third-party video management systems and recorders. Native integration with Hanwha Vision NVRs and Wisenet WAVE VMS provides access to the full analytics feature set. Confirm ONVIF profile support with your specific VMS vendor if advanced analytics integration is required. The QNO-C8023R is available through Security Wholesalers and supported within the broader Hanwha Q Series ecosystem.
