Product SKU: QNV-C8013R
Product Overview
For exposed outdoor zones where physical impact resistance and intelligent detection need to work together, the Hanwha QNV-C8013R delivers both in a compact vandal dome housing. Built to IP66 and IK10 standards, this 5MP camera is suited to exterior building walls, car park entries, school yards, and public-facing facades where tampering or harsh weather are genuine concerns. Featuring a fixed 3.0 mm lens with a 100° horizontal field of view, it captures wide-area coverage across entrances and open spaces without requiring lens adjustment on site. The onboard AI engine classifies people and vehicles separately, supporting line crossing, loitering, and intrusion detection for smarter event management. With 120 dB wide dynamic range and IR illumination to 25 m, the QNV-C8013R maintains accurate imagery across variable lighting conditions. WiseStream III compression and a microSD slot up to 256 GB round out a capable, self-contained outdoor camera suited to commercial and institutional installations.
Key Capabilities
5MP Wide-Area Coverage
The 2592 x 1944 resolution sensor combined with the fixed 3.0 mm lens and 100° horizontal field of view captures broad outdoor scenes in useful detail, making it well suited to entrances, open yards, and car park approaches where wide coverage matters more than narrow zoom reach.
AI People and Vehicle Classification
Hanwha’s onboard AI engine differentiates between people and vehicles, enabling line crossing, loitering, and intrusion detection rules. Separating object types at the camera level reduces irrelevant event triggers and makes post-incident footage review faster and more targeted.
120 dB Wide Dynamic Range
With 120 dB WDR, the QNV-C8013R handles scenes where bright sunlight and deep shadow appear in the same frame, such as shaded building entrances or car parks with overhead lighting. Detail is retained across both extremes without washing out highlights or losing shadow information.
IP66 and IK10 Outdoor Housing
The metal and polycarbonate dome housing is rated IP66 for full dust and rain resistance and IK10 for impact protection. This combination makes it appropriate for publicly accessible outdoor locations where the camera may be subject to deliberate interference or severe weather exposure.
IR Night Vision to 25 m
Built-in IR LEDs illuminate to approximately 25 m, providing usable monochrome imagery in complete darkness. This suits most outdoor perimeter and entrance applications where artificial lighting is limited or absent overnight, without requiring an external illuminator.
WiseStream III and Edge Storage
WiseStream III adaptive compression reduces bandwidth and storage load without visibly degrading image quality. The onboard microSD slot supports cards up to 256 GB, enabling standalone local recording as a backup to NVR storage or as the primary recording method in simpler deployments.
Best For
- Exterior Building Entrances: The wide 100° field of view covers doorways and lobbies from wall or soffit mounting, while AI analytics flag loitering or unauthorised access attempts without constant manual monitoring.
- Car Parks and Open Driveways: Vehicle classification through the AI engine enables accurate detection events at entry and exit points, and 120 dB WDR handles the mixed lighting common across open parking areas.
- Schools, Councils, and Public Facilities: IK10 vandal resistance and IP66 weather sealing make the dome housing appropriate for exposed public-facing locations where the camera is within reach and needs to withstand physical contact or adverse weather.
- Perimeter Walls and Fenced Boundaries: Line crossing and intrusion detection rules, combined with IR illumination to 25 m, allow the camera to function as an active perimeter sensor along boundary lines at night without supplementary lighting.
Why Choose the QNV-C8013R
The QNV-C8013R sits at the intersection of durable outdoor construction and practical AI capability in a fixed-lens dome form factor. Where a basic outdoor dome would record footage without context, the QNV-C8013R applies onboard classification to distinguish people from vehicles and generates targeted event alerts for line crossing, loitering, and zone intrusion. The confirmed IK10 rating goes beyond weather resistance to address physical tampering, which matters in car parks, school perimeters, and public facilities. The 120 dB WDR handles real-world lighting challenges that cause cheaper sensors to clip or crush detail. WiseStream III reduces the storage and bandwidth load on connected NVRs, and the 256 GB microSD option adds a local recording layer without additional hardware. For installers and security integrators sourcing outdoor AI dome cameras, this model is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Hanwha Wisenet Q Series range.
Buyer Decision Tips
Fixed Lens and Mounting Height: The 3.0 mm fixed lens is not adjustable, so coverage width is determined entirely by mounting position. At 2.5 to 4 m, the 100° horizontal field of view covers a broad scene. Mounting significantly higher will reduce the angular benefit and push subjects toward the edges of the frame. Confirm mounting height and scene geometry before ordering to ensure this fixed focal length suits the specific location.
AI Analytics Setup Requires Configuration: The people and vehicle classification and event rules such as line crossing and loitering are not active by default. They require zone drawing and sensitivity configuration during commissioning, ideally through Hanwha’s VMS or the camera web interface. Allocate setup time for this step to get full value from the AI capability and reduce unwanted alerts from the outset.

Ideal Use Cases
School Perimeters and Grounds
IK10 vandal resistance makes the QNV-C8013R appropriate for exterior wall mounting in school environments where cameras may be within student reach. AI intrusion detection can trigger alerts outside school hours when motion in restricted zones warrants attention.
Commercial Car Parks
The wide 100° field of view covers multiple lanes or bays from a single ceiling or wall mount. Vehicle classification through the AI engine enables accurate event logging at entry and exit points, and the 120 dB WDR handles the mixed daylight and artificial lighting common in open-deck car parks.
Building Entry and Exit Points
Mounted above doorways or at foyer overhangs, the QNV-C8013R covers staff and visitor movement with AI-based loitering and line crossing alerts. IP66 sealing keeps the unit operational in covered outdoor areas exposed to wind and rain ingress.
Council and Public Infrastructure
NDAA-compliant architecture and IK10-rated housing suit government and council deployments where procurement rules require compliant hardware and physical durability in publicly accessible locations is non-negotiable.
Industrial Outdoor Areas
Operating across -30 °C to +55 °C with IP66 sealing, the QNV-C8013R suits outdoor industrial environments including exposed loading areas and external storage yards. The 256 GB edge storage option provides a local recording buffer if the site network is intermittent.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need an outdoor AI vandal dome with confirmed IK10 impact resistance, a wide fixed-lens view across entrances or open spaces, and onboard AI classification for people and vehicles, with PoE powering and local edge storage as a recording option.
- Choose a different model if: The scene requires a longer focal length to cover a narrow corridor or distant subject, as the fixed 3.0 mm lens cannot be adjusted. In those cases, a varifocal dome or a model with a longer fixed focal length would provide better target framing at distance.
- Choose a different model if: Colour night vision is a priority for the location. The QNV-C8013R uses IR illumination only, producing monochrome imagery in darkness. Where colour detail overnight is required, a camera with a white-light or full-colour low-light sensor would be more appropriate.
FAQs
- Is the QNV-C8013R suitable for mounting on an exterior wall exposed to rain?
Yes. The IP66 rating confirms full protection against dust ingress and water projected from any direction, making external wall and soffit mounting appropriate even in exposed locations. The housing should be installed with cable entries properly sealed to maintain this rating in practice.
- What mounting height works best with the fixed 3.0 mm lens?
Mounting between 2.5 m and 4 m provides the most usable coverage with the 100° horizontal field of view. Above that range the angle of incidence becomes shallow and faces or licence plates become harder to read. For higher mounting positions, a longer focal length would be more appropriate.
- How does the AI people and vehicle classification work in practice?
The onboard AI engine analyses objects within the frame and categorises them as either people or vehicles before applying detection rules. This means a line crossing or intrusion alert can be set to trigger only on one object type, reducing unwanted notifications from birds, foliage, or other non-relevant movement. Detection zones and sensitivity are configured through the camera interface or connected VMS.
- Does the 120 dB WDR help with backlit entrance scenes?
Yes. 120 dB WDR is particularly useful at entrances where subjects are silhouetted against bright outdoor light or a glazed facade. The camera processes multiple exposures simultaneously to retain detail in both bright and shadow areas, which a lower-WDR sensor would not manage without significant highlight clipping or shadow loss.
- Can the QNV-C8013R record locally without an NVR?
Yes. The microSD slot accepts cards up to 256 GB, allowing continuous or event-triggered local recording independent of a network recorder. This is useful as a backup recording layer or in smaller standalone installations. The camera does require network configuration for remote access and playback management.
- What does NDAA compliance mean for this camera?
NDAA compliance confirms that the QNV-C8013R does not use components from manufacturers prohibited under the US National Defense Authorization Act. For Australian government, council, and defence-adjacent projects where procurement policies require this standard, the QNV-C8013R meets that requirement. Security Wholesalers can provide documentation to support compliance verification on request.
- What PoE switch class is required to power this camera?
The QNV-C8013R is powered by IEEE 802.3af Class 3 PoE, with a maximum draw of 8.1 W. Any compliant 802.3af or 802.3at PoE switch or injector rated at Class 3 or above will power the camera correctly over a standard Cat5e or Cat6 cable run up to 100 m.
