Key Capabilities
8MP / 4K Resolution with Fixed 3mm Lens
The 3840 x 2160 pixel sensor captures fine detail across a wide field of view at close to mid-range distances. The fixed 3mm lens suits ceiling-mounted installations in corridors, lobbies, and retail floors where broad coverage at moderate distance is the priority.
AI Object Detection and Classification
Onboard AI distinguishes between human and vehicle subjects, enabling targeted event filtering during footage review. This reduces time spent on irrelevant motion events and supports faster incident response in busy commercial environments.
IK10 Vandal-Resistant Dome Housing
The IK10-rated dome casing withstands significant physical impact, making it appropriate for public areas, transport corridors, and other locations where camera tampering or accidental damage is a risk. The low-profile dome design discourages casual interference.
IP67 Weather Resistance
Full dust ingress protection and resistance to water immersion means the QNV-C9011R can be installed in exposed outdoor positions, including eave soffits, covered carparks, and building exteriors subject to rain and humidity.
20m IR Night Vision
Integrated infrared LEDs provide usable night vision out to 20 metres. This range suits indoor and semi-covered outdoor positions such as building entries, undercover car parks, and internal corridors where ambient light is low but distances are contained.
Best For
- Retail and Commercial Ceilings: The compact dome profile and wide 3mm field of view make it suited to ceiling-mounted positions covering checkout areas, aisles, and customer service desks where broad scene coverage is needed at close range.
- Building Lobbies and Entry Points: IK10 impact resistance and IP67 weather protection support installation in covered entry foyers and lobby ceilings where both indoor conditions and occasional outdoor exposure apply.
- Lift Lobbies and Corridors: The discreet dome format and wide field of view suit the confined geometry of corridor and lift lobby installations where ceiling clearance is limited and wide angular capture is preferred.
- Public Transport and Institutional Facilities: AI classification and 8MP detail support post-incident review in high-footfall locations such as transport terminals, government buildings, and educational facilities requiring accurate subject identification.
Why Choose the QNV-C9011R
The QNV-C9011R occupies a specific niche in the Hanwha Q Series: a fixed 3mm outdoor vandal dome delivering 8MP resolution with onboard AI classification in a housing that satisfies both IP67 and IK10 ratings simultaneously. This combination is not always available at this resolution in a standard dome form factor. Where a lower-resolution camera would limit the ability to identify individuals or read detail across a wide scene, the 8MP sensor retains subject detail without requiring optical zoom. H.265+ compression keeps storage requirements manageable across multi-camera deployments, and ONVIF compliance ensures the camera integrates with existing NVR infrastructure without proprietary lock-in. Available at Security Wholesalers, the QNV-C9011R is a practical choice for commercial integrators who need AI-capable 8MP coverage in a physically hardened dome format without stepping up to a significantly higher-priced platform.
Buyer Decision Tips
Fixed Lens Range Consideration: The QNV-C9011R uses a fixed 3mm lens, which provides a wide field of view but does not allow focal length adjustment after installation. This lens is appropriate for ceiling positions covering scenes at 3 to 8 metres from the camera. If your installation requires coverage of longer distances, such as a deep carpark lane or a wide open yard, a camera with a varifocal or longer fixed focal length would give better subject detail at range. Confirm mounting height and target distance before specifying this model.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail Store Ceilings
The wide 3mm field of view covers checkout lanes, entrances, and merchandise areas from ceiling height. AI classification supports distinguishing staff movement from customer activity for targeted incident review.
Building Entries and Foyers
IP67 and IK10 ratings make this dome suitable for semi-exposed entry canopies and lobby ceilings. The 8MP sensor captures enough detail for facial feature review at entry distances under typical foyer ceiling heights.
Lift Lobbies and Internal Corridors
The compact dome format and wide-angle 3mm lens suit confined ceiling positions in lift lobbies and internal corridors where a directional bullet camera would be impractical and a wider view is needed within a short ceiling-to-floor distance.
Undercover Car Parks
IR night vision to 20 metres and IP67 weather protection support deployment in undercover carpark bays and pedestrian walkways where lighting is inconsistent and moisture ingress is a concern.
Government and Institutional Facilities
AI object classification and 8MP resolution support the detailed event logging requirements of government buildings, educational campuses, and healthcare facilities where accountability and post-incident review are priorities.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your installation requires ceiling-mounted wide-area coverage at 3 to 8 metres from the camera, needs both IK10 vandal resistance and IP67 weather protection in a low-profile dome, and benefits from AI object classification to support event filtering across a busy commercial scene.
- Choose a different model if: Your target distance exceeds the 20m IR range or the coverage zone requires a longer focal length than 3mm. If you need to cover a deep lane, a wide open yard, or a long approach path, a varifocal or longer fixed focal length dome would provide better subject detail at those distances. Similarly, if active deterrence with a speaker or strobe is required, a different camera type would be more appropriate as no speaker is confirmed in this model.
FAQs
- What is the IR night vision range of the QNV-C9011R?
The QNV-C9011R has an IR illumination range of 20 metres. This is suited to indoor installations and semi-covered outdoor positions such as undercover carparks, building entries, and lift lobbies where subject distances are within that range. For longer outdoor approaches, a camera with extended IR range would be more appropriate.
- Can the lens focal length be adjusted on this camera?
No. The QNV-C9011R uses a fixed 3mm lens, which cannot be adjusted after installation. The 3mm focal length provides a wide field of view suited to ceiling-mounted positions covering scenes at close to mid-range distances. If your coverage zone requires a tighter angle or longer reach, you would need a different focal length or a varifocal model.
- Does the QNV-C9011R support two-way audio?
The QNV-C9011R includes a built-in microphone for audio recording alongside video. There is no confirmed built-in speaker in the product data, so two-way audio communication is not a confirmed capability of this unit.
- What does the AI on the QNV-C9011R actually do?
The onboard AI performs object detection and classification, specifically distinguishing between human and vehicle subjects within the scene. This allows operators and VMS platforms to filter events by subject type, making post-incident footage review faster and reducing time spent on irrelevant motion triggers in busy environments.
- Is the QNV-C9011R suitable for installation in exposed outdoor positions?
Yes. The IP67 weather rating provides full dust protection and resistance to water exposure, and the IK10 vandal rating confirms the housing withstands significant physical impact. These ratings together make it appropriate for exposed outdoor ceiling positions, covered walkways, and semi-external building entries, as well as demanding indoor locations where tampering is a risk. The QNV-C9011R is part of the Security Wholesalers range for exactly these kinds of commercial-grade deployment scenarios.
- Will the QNV-C9011R work with my existing NVR or VMS?
The camera is ONVIF compliant, which means it is compatible with third-party NVRs and video management systems that support the ONVIF standard. For guaranteed full feature access including AI analytics, compatibility is best confirmed with your specific NVR or VMS vendor prior to deployment, as some advanced AI features may require platform-level support.
