Product SKU: QNE-C9013RL
Product Overview
Combining dual-light illumination with AI-driven object classification, the Hanwha Vision QNE-C9013RL is built around a flat-eye housing that mounts flush to ceilings and walls with a low-profile footprint suited to entries, corridors, shopfronts, car parks, and outdoor perimeter points. Featuring both a 3000K warm white LED and 850nm IR LEDs with a 30m range each, the camera automatically shifts from discreet IR mode to full-colour white light illumination when AI detects a person or vehicle, enabling colour identification at night without the reflective wash-out associated with standard IR. Equipped with an 8MP 1/2.8″ CMOS sensor and a fixed 3.0mm lens delivering a 108-degree horizontal field of view, it records 4K detail at up to 30fps. It integrates WiseStream III AI-based compression, WiseNR II AI noise reduction, and 120dB WDR for demanding mixed-lighting conditions. With IP66/IP67 and IK10 ratings, the QNE-C9013RL is built for both indoor and exposed outdoor installations.
Key Capabilities
AI-Triggered Dual Light
The camera runs in discreet IR mode by default and switches to 3000K warm white LED illumination when AI detects a person or vehicle. This delivers full-colour night footage for accurate identification while keeping the white light off when the scene is clear.
8MP 4K Resolution at 30fps
The 1/2.8″ CMOS sensor captures 3840×2160 at up to 30fps under H.265 or H.264, providing sufficient detail for reviewing entries, counters, or outdoor zones where face and vehicle identification may be required in post-event review.
AI Object Classification and Analytics
Built-in AI classifies detected objects as persons or vehicles (including car, bus, truck, motorcycle, and bicycle), supports virtual line and area rules, loitering and intrusion detection, and includes DetectionShot for event-linked snapshot capture.
120dB WDR and Low-Light Sensitivity
120dB wide dynamic range handles scenes with strong backlighting such as doorways and vehicle entry points. Colour sensitivity down to 0.034 lux and IR sensitivity to 0.0034 lux means usable footage is maintained across a wide range of ambient lighting conditions.
WiseStream III Bandwidth Efficiency
WiseStream III uses the AI engine to apply dynamic compression intelligently, reducing bitrate on static background areas while preserving detail on moving subjects. This is particularly useful for managing storage and network load when running 4K streams continuously.
IP66/IP67 and IK10 Rated Housing
The aluminium flat-eye housing carries dual ingress protection ratings and IK10 impact resistance, making it suitable for exposed outdoor walls, soffits, and locations where the camera may be subject to deliberate interference or harsh weather conditions.
Best For
- Commercial Entries and Foyers: The 108-degree horizontal field of view and 8MP resolution make it practical for covering wide entry points where face detail across multiple lanes of foot traffic is needed.
- Outdoor Perimeter and Car Parks: IP66/IP67 and IK10 ratings combined with 30m dual-light range allow reliable outdoor deployment on walls and soffits covering vehicle access lanes and open areas.
- Retail and Internal Corridors: The hallway view (90/270-degree rotation) and flush flat-eye housing suit ceiling mounting in narrow spaces where a traditional dome might create a gap or require additional hardware.
- Sites Needing Business Intelligence: Built-in people counting, vehicle counting, queue management, and heatmap analytics allow operators to extract occupancy and traffic data without a separate analytics server.
Why Choose the QNE-C9013RL
The QNE-C9013RL occupies a specific position in the Hanwha Q Series as a flat-eye dual-light camera that delivers both 4K resolution and AI-triggered colour night vision in a single compact unit. Where a standard IR camera produces monochrome footage after dark, the warm white LED on the QNE-C9013RL activates only when AI confirms a person or vehicle is present, preserving colour detail for identification without continuous white light glare disturbing the surrounding environment. The on-board AI also supports business intelligence functions including people counting and queue management, capabilities that a basic fixed-lens network camera would not provide. The flat-eye housing design simplifies installation on flat surfaces without the protruding dome bubble, while IP66/IP67 and IK10 ratings confirm suitability for outdoor and high-traffic indoor environments. Available through Security Wholesalers, the QNE-C9013RL suits commercial installations where colour night identification and operational analytics are both required from a single camera position.
Buyer Decision Tips
Fixed 3.0mm Lens and Wide FOV: The 3.0mm fixed lens delivers a 108-degree horizontal field of view, which suits wide indoor spaces and close-to-medium outdoor zones. At this focal length, the DORI recognition distance is 11.2m and identification distance is 5.6m. If the installation requires face identification at greater distances, a camera with a longer focal length or motorised varifocal lens would be more appropriate. Confirm your mounting height and target distance before committing to this model.
Dual-Light Behaviour and Scene Planning: The warm white LED activates based on AI-detected objects, not a simple ambient light threshold. This means the camera operates in IR mode until a classified person or vehicle is detected. For scenes where colour detail is needed continuously after dark regardless of occupancy, plan whether the white light steady mode is configured or whether IR-only operation is acceptable for your monitoring requirement.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail Shopfronts
The flat-eye housing mounts cleanly on ceiling surfaces above entrances and cash counters. AI-triggered white light activation provides colour footage of customers during after-hours incidents without running white LEDs continuously during trading hours.
Car Parks and Vehicle Access Points
With 30m dual-light range and vehicle classification AI, the QNE-C9013RL identifies vehicle types at entry and exit lanes. The 120dB WDR handles headlight glare and shadowed areas within the same frame effectively.
Building Entry Points and Lobbies
The 108-degree horizontal FOV covers wide entry areas from a single ceiling mount position. Hallway view rotation allows the camera to be oriented vertically to suit narrow corridor or lift lobby installations without hardware changes.
Outdoor Perimeter Walls and Soffits
IP66/IP67 and IK10 ratings allow surface mounting on external walls and soffits without additional weatherproof enclosures. The aluminium housing tolerates -40°C operating temperatures and direct exposure to rain and dust.
Retail and Commercial Analytics Deployments
On-board people counting, vehicle counting, queue management, and heatmap functions allow site operators to use the QNE-C9013RL for both security monitoring and occupancy or traffic analysis from the same camera position.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need 4K resolution with AI-triggered dual-light night vision, on-board business intelligence analytics, and a low-profile flat-eye housing rated to IP66/IP67 and IK10 for indoor or exposed outdoor use.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation requires face identification at distances beyond 11m, where a camera with a longer focal length or motorised varifocal lens would deliver better results at the target range. If white light illumination is not required and IR-only night vision is sufficient, a standard IR dome or turret in the same resolution range may suit the budget better.
FAQs
- What is the flat-eye design on the QNE-C9013RL and why does it matter for installation?
The flat-eye housing is a low-profile disc form that mounts directly against a flat ceiling or wall surface without a protruding dome bubble. This simplifies surface mounting in environments where a standard dome would require a recessed mount or backbox, and it reduces the visual bulk of the camera on finished ceilings in commercial or retail settings.
- When does the warm white LED activate and when does IR operate?
By default the camera operates in IR mode after dark. When the AI engine classifies a detected object as a person or vehicle, it can trigger the 3000K warm white LED automatically. This allows colour identification at the moment of detection without running white light continuously. The camera can also be configured to run white light in steady mode or use the built-in strobe as a deterrent or alert signal.
- What is the effective illumination range for both light modes?
Both the white warm LED and the 850nm IR LED have a confirmed viewable range of 30m (98.42ft). This applies to each light independently. The dual-light system gives the camera flexibility to use the appropriate illumination type for the situation, with AI determining when to switch between them based on detected object classification.
- What AI analytics does the QNE-C9013RL support natively?
The camera classifies persons and vehicles (car, bus, truck, motorcycle, bicycle) and supports virtual line crossing, virtual area rules including loitering and intrusion detection, and DetectionShot for event-linked still capture. Business intelligence functions including people counting, vehicle counting, queue management, and heatmap analysis are also built into the camera and operate without an external analytics server.
- Can the QNE-C9013RL record locally without a recorder?
Yes. The camera has a single Micro SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot supporting up to 256GB of local edge storage. Recording can be configured to trigger on AI analytics events or to run continuously, allowing standalone operation or backup recording independent of a connected NVR. Available through Security Wholesalers, it supports event-triggered uploads to FTP or NAS as an alternative or supplement to SD card recording.
- What weather and vandal ratings does this camera carry?
The QNE-C9013RL carries IP66 and IP67 ingress protection ratings, covering complete protection against dust and protection against temporary immersion in water. It also carries an IK10 impact rating under IEC/EN 62262, indicating resistance to 20 joules of mechanical impact. These ratings apply to the aluminium flat-eye housing as supplied.
- Does the QNE-C9013RL support hallway view for corridor installation?
Yes. The camera supports 90-degree and 270-degree video rotation through the hallway view setting. This allows the 8MP sensor to be oriented vertically to suit narrow corridors, stairwells, or lift lobbies, making use of the full sensor resolution in a portrait aspect ratio rather than cropping the image to fit a corridor width.
