Product SKU: HV-QNE-C8013RL
Product Overview
Built without a dome cover, the Hanwha Vision QNE-C8013RL eliminates the IR glare and reflection that conventional dome cameras produce against their own lens housing, delivering cleaner images from eave, soffit, and wall-mounted positions. This flateye design camera combines a 3000K warm white LED and 850nm IR LEDs, each reaching 30m, giving installers a genuine choice between colour night illumination and discreet infrared depending on the scene. Featuring a 5MP 1/2.8″ CMOS sensor with a 3.0mm fixed lens and 97-degree horizontal field of view, the QNE-C8013RL covers wide entry points and open areas without requiring adjustment. It also integrates Hanwha’s AI-driven object classification for people and multiple vehicle types, along with business intelligence functions including people counting, queue management, and heatmap. Rated IP66/IP67 and IK10, this camera is suited to both indoor and outdoor installations across retail, commercial, and light industrial environments.
Key Capabilities
Dual Light System
A 3000K warm white LED and 850nm IR LED, each with a 30m range, allow the camera to switch between full-colour illumination and discreet infrared. The white light can also operate in strobe mode as a visible deterrent when triggered by an AI event.
Flateye Housing, No Dome Glare
Removing the dome cover eliminates the internal IR reflection that degrades image quality in standard dome cameras. For wall and eave mounting where the lens faces outward, this housing style maintains sharper low-light images without the hotspot effect common on dome units.
AI Object Classification
The built-in AI engine classifies detected objects as people or vehicles, with vehicle sub-types including car, bus, truck, motorcycle, and bicycle. Virtual line and virtual area rules can be applied selectively to these object types, reducing nuisance alerts from irrelevant motion.
Business Intelligence Analytics
People counting, vehicle counting, queue management, and heatmap analysis are all available on-board via the AI engine. These functions support retail footfall analysis, traffic flow monitoring, and operational reporting without requiring a separate analytics server.
120dB WDR and WiseNR II
A 120dB wide dynamic range handles bright backlit entrances and mixed lighting conditions without blowing out foreground subjects. WiseNR II uses the AI engine to apply noise reduction selectively to non-object areas, preserving detail on people and vehicles in low-light scenes.
IP66/IP67 and IK10 Rated
Dual IP ratings confirm protection against dust and sustained water immersion, while IK10 provides impact resistance against deliberate interference. This combination supports outdoor mounting on exposed walls, covered car parks, and commercial building perimeters where the camera may face weather or contact.
Best For
- Retail and Commercial Entrances: The 97-degree horizontal field of view from the 3mm fixed lens covers wide doorways and foyer areas, while AI people counting and heatmap analytics provide operational data alongside security coverage.
- Outdoor Eave and Soffit Mounting: The flateye housing is specifically suited to angled wall and eave positions where a dome cover would create IR reflection against the housing, giving cleaner night images in exactly the position this camera is designed for.
- Sites Requiring Active Deterrence: The warm white strobe triggered by AI detection gives site managers a contactless deterrent option without adding separate warning lights or sirens, using the camera’s own built-in hardware.
- Corridor and Hallway Monitoring: Hallway view mode (90 and 270-degree rotation) reshapes the video output to a vertical aspect ratio that matches long corridor proportions, making more efficient use of resolution in these spaces.
Why Choose the QNE-C8013RL
The QNE-C8013RL stands apart from standard fixed-lens turret cameras through its dual light capability, where most comparable models offer only IR illumination. The ability to switch between 3000K warm white and 850nm IR at the same 30m range gives this camera genuine operational flexibility. Colour identification at night, achieved through the white LED rather than IR, is a practical advantage in areas where licence plate colour, clothing, or vehicle colour is relevant to incident review. On top of this, the on-board AI analytics go well beyond motion detection, supporting intrusion, loitering, virtual line crossing, and business intelligence functions that typically require a higher-tier camera. The IK10 and IP66/IP67 ratings mean it holds up in environments where lighter cameras would not. Available through Security Wholesalers, the QNE-C8013RL delivers an advanced feature set at a price point that suits projects where budget and performance both matter.
Buyer Decision Tips
Fixed Lens Coverage Planning: The 3.0mm fixed lens provides a 97-degree horizontal field of view, which suits wide coverage at close to medium distances. The DORI data confirms detection at 45.9m, observation at 18.3m, and recognition at 9.2m. For areas where you need to identify individuals at greater distances, a longer focal length camera would be more appropriate. Plan mounting height and angle before installation, as the lens cannot be adjusted after fitting.
Light Mode Selection for Your Scene: The warm white LED produces colour images but is a visible light source, which may not be appropriate for all discreet monitoring requirements. If you need covert night-time operation, configure the camera to use IR only. If active deterrence or colour identification at night is the priority, the white light or strobe mode is more useful. Both light types are independently configurable through the camera’s web interface.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail Store Entrances
The 97-degree horizontal field of view covers wide shopfront entries, while on-board people counting and heatmap functions provide foot traffic data that goes beyond basic security monitoring. The warm white light maintains colour capture at night for accurate incident review.
Car Parks and Driveways
Vehicle classification across car, bus, truck, motorcycle, and bicycle types makes this camera useful for access monitoring in shared car parks. Virtual line rules set to vehicle-only reduce false alerts from pedestrians crossing the detection zone.
Building Perimeters and Eaves
The flateye housing avoids the glare that dome covers create when mounted at an angle on building eaves. Combined with IP66/IP67 and IK10 ratings, the QNE-C8013RL is built for exposed outdoor wall and soffit positions without the image quality trade-offs of a dome unit.
Corridors and Internal Hallways
Hallway view mode rotates the video output to 90 or 270 degrees, producing a portrait-format stream that matches the proportions of a long corridor. This uses the available 5MP resolution more efficiently compared to standard landscape framing of the same space.
Sites Needing Active Deterrence
The AI engine triggers the warm white strobe when a person or vehicle is detected in a defined zone. This gives site managers an automated deterrent response built into the camera itself, without requiring separate alarm outputs or additional lighting hardware.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need dual light flexibility (colour night vision plus IR deterrence), AI analytics with object classification and business intelligence, and IK10 vandal resistance in a flateye form factor that avoids dome glare on eave and wall-mounted positions.
- Choose a different model if: Your site requires a varifocal or motorised zoom lens to cover a longer approach or a narrower field at distance – the 3.0mm fixed lens on this camera is wide-angle only and cannot be adjusted. If covert indoor ceiling mounting is the primary requirement, a standard low-profile dome with a matching ceiling rose may offer a tidier installation finish.
FAQs
- What is a flateye camera and how does it differ from a standard dome?
A flateye camera removes the outer dome cover found on traditional dome units. This eliminates the internal reflection that occurs when IR LEDs bounce light back off the dome surface, which degrades night-time image quality. The QNE-C8013RL’s open-face housing avoids this entirely, producing cleaner IR and white-light images especially on angled eave and wall mounts.
- Can the camera use both the white LED and IR LED at the same time?
The QNE-C8013RL has a dual light system with separate white warm LED and IR LED, each with a 30m range. The operating mode can be set to IR only, white light only, or configured to switch between them based on AI detection events. The strobe deterrent function uses the white LED and is triggered independently through the alarm event settings.
- What AI analytics are included and do they require a separate licence?
Object classification for people and vehicles, virtual line crossing, virtual area rules (loitering, intrusion, enter, exit), people counting, vehicle counting, queue management, and heatmap are all built into the camera’s on-board AI engine. No additional software licence is required to access these functions through the camera’s web interface or a compatible VMS.
- Is the QNE-C8013RL suitable for outdoor installation in harsh conditions?
Yes. IP66 and IP67 ratings confirm protection against dust ingress and water immersion respectively, and the IK10 rating confirms resistance to impact equivalent to 20 joules. The camera operates across a temperature range of -40°C to +60°C, making it suitable for exposed outdoor positions including uncovered walls, eaves, and car park structures.
- What is the field of view and what area does the 3mm lens cover?
The 3.0mm fixed lens produces a horizontal field of view of 97 degrees, vertical of 53 degrees, and diagonal of 113 degrees. According to the DORI data, detection is achievable at 45.9m, observation at 18.3m, and recognition at 9.2m. This wide-angle coverage suits entry points, open foyers, and car park rows rather than long-distance identification scenarios.
- Does the camera support local edge storage?
The QNE-C8013RL includes a single Micro SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot supporting cards up to 256GB. This allows continuous or event-triggered recording directly to the card without relying on a network recorder. The SD card storage is also encrypted via the SD card partition encrypt function for data security.
- Where can I purchase the HV-QNE-C8013RL and is it covered by Australian certifications?
The QNE-C8013RL is available through Security Wholesalers and carries RCM certification under AS/NZS CISPR 32, confirming it meets Australian electromagnetic compatibility requirements. It is also NDAA compliant and meets Hanwha Vision’s cybersecurity standards including secure boot, signed firmware, and firmware encryption.
