Product SKU: HV-QNF-9010
Product Overview
Covering an entire room from a single ceiling mount, the HV-QNF-9010 is a 12MP indoor fisheye camera from Hanwha Vision’s Q Series, engineered for spaces where comprehensive overhead visibility is the priority. With its 1.08mm fisheye lens delivering a 187°x187° field of view, the camera captures a full 360-degree scene in one shot, eliminating the coverage gaps that multiple fixed cameras often leave behind. Featuring onboard dewarping, the HV-QNF-9010 outputs the scene as an original fisheye, single panorama, double panorama, or quad view, giving operators flexible display options without relying on server-side processing. The 12MP sensor produces 3008×3008 resolution at 30fps, delivering the image detail needed to review activity across large open floor plans. It also integrates business intelligence tools including people counting and heatmap analytics, making it a practical option for retail environments, open-plan offices, and public areas where understanding movement patterns is as important as capturing incidents.
Key Capabilities
360-Degree Fisheye Coverage
The 1.08mm fisheye lens captures a full 187°x187° scene from a single ceiling-mounted position, removing the blind spots that arise when multiple fixed-angle cameras are used to cover the same space. One camera, one cable run, complete overhead view.
Onboard Dewarping with Multiple View Modes
Without any external software, the HV-QNF-9010 converts the raw fisheye image into single panorama, double panorama, or quad view layouts. This means VMS clients and recording hardware do not need to carry the processing load for dewarping correction.
12MP Sensor at 30fps
A 3008×3008 pixel output at 30 frames per second provides the image density needed to identify individuals and activity details across a wide floor area. At this resolution, digital zoom into specific zones of a fisheye frame remains usable for post-incident review.
People Counting and Heatmap Analytics
Built-in business intelligence functions track visitor footfall and generate heatmap overlays showing where people dwell or congregate. These tools support retail layout decisions, queue management, and space utilisation reporting beyond standard security monitoring.
WiseStream II and 120dB WDR
WiseStream II compression reduces bandwidth and storage demands by up to 50% compared to standard H.265, which matters when streaming 12MP video continuously. The 120dB Wide Dynamic Range handles scenes with strong contrast between bright and shadowed zones, such as entrances lit by overhead skylights.
Best For
- Retail Floor Coverage: The 360-degree fisheye view combined with people counting and heatmap analytics makes this camera suited to retail environments where both security coverage and customer behaviour data are needed from a single overhead unit.
- Open-Plan Offices and Reception Areas: A single ceiling-mounted unit can monitor a large open workspace without the visual clutter of multiple cameras, while the quad view output allows operators to watch different zones simultaneously on one screen.
- Foyers and Public Waiting Areas: Where managing footfall and monitoring queues or gathering points is a priority, the heatmap and people counting functions provide actionable data alongside standard surveillance recording.
- Installers Minimising Camera Count: For integrators working on projects where ceiling cable runs are expensive or disruptive, the HV-QNF-9010 replaces 3 to 4 fixed cameras in an equivalent open area, reducing installation time and infrastructure cost.
Why Choose the HV-QNF-9010
The HV-QNF-9010 stands apart from lower-resolution fisheye cameras through its 12MP sensor and 3008×3008 output, which preserves enough pixel density to make digital zoom into specific regions of the dewarped image genuinely useful, not just theoretically possible. Its onboard dewarping removes the need for VMS licences or server resources dedicated to fisheye correction, which reduces total system cost on multi-camera deployments. The built-in heatmap and people counting analytics are features that simpler indoor cameras cannot offer, giving operations teams data for space planning alongside security footage. WiseStream II compression helps keep storage and bandwidth demands manageable despite the high resolution stream. The lens rotation feature simplifies ceiling installation by allowing the image to be aligned correctly after physical mounting. Available at Security Wholesalers, the HV-QNF-9010 is a practical choice for projects where one well-placed camera needs to do the work of several.
Buyer Decision Tips
Ceiling Height and Dewarping Trade-offs: The HV-QNF-9010 is rated IP42, which means it is designed for dry indoor ceiling mounting only. For best coverage, mount it at 2.4 to 4 metres above floor level. At greater mounting heights, the fisheye projection spreads the 12MP pixel count across a larger floor area, which reduces the detail available in the outer edges of the dewarped image. If the space requires coverage of very fine detail at long range from a single central point, consider whether a fixed dome array or a supplementary camera may be needed rather than relying solely on the fisheye unit.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail Stores
The heatmap analytics and people counting functions make the HV-QNF-9010 a useful overhead unit for retail operators who want to understand customer traffic patterns, monitor queue lengths, and track dwell zones alongside standard loss prevention coverage.
Open-Plan Offices
A single ceiling-mounted fisheye unit can cover an entire open-plan floor area, reducing the number of cameras and cable runs needed. The quad view dewarping mode allows a monitoring station to display four separate zones from the one camera.
Reception and Lobby Areas
In foyers and waiting areas with high foot traffic, the 360-degree coverage ensures no approach angle is missed. The 120dB WDR handles the contrast challenges common in glazed reception areas where exterior daylight meets interior lighting.
Warehouses and Stockrooms
For indoor storage areas where aisle coverage from a central ceiling point is more efficient than multiple fixed cameras on walls, the HV-QNF-9010 provides overhead visibility of the entire space and supports tampering and motion detection for after-hours monitoring.
Education Facilities
In classrooms, libraries, or common areas where wide-area ceiling coverage is required without multiple intrusive camera installations, the fisheye format offers discreet overhead monitoring while the people counting feature supports occupancy management.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need full 360-degree overhead coverage from a single indoor ceiling mount with onboard dewarping, and you want built-in people counting and heatmap analytics without relying on external software or VMS analytics licences.
- Choose a different model if: The installation location is outdoors or exposed to moisture, as the IP42 rating covers dry indoor environments only and is not suitable for areas with rain splash or condensation. For outdoor 360-degree coverage, a fisheye camera with a higher IP rating is required.
- Choose a different model if: The primary goal is long-range directional coverage rather than wide-area overhead monitoring. A fixed lens or motorised varifocal camera mounted at the perimeter of the space will deliver better subject detail at distance than a fisheye unit mounted centrally overhead.
FAQs
- Does the HV-QNF-9010 dewarp the image in-camera, or does the VMS need to handle that?
The HV-QNF-9010 performs onboard dewarping, outputting single panorama, double panorama, and quad view layouts directly from the camera. This means recording and monitoring platforms receive an already-corrected image stream without needing dedicated dewarping processing on the server or a VMS licence for fisheye correction.
- Is the HV-QNF-9010 suitable for outdoor installation?
No. The camera carries an IP42 rating, which provides protection against solid objects greater than 1mm and dripping water when mounted upright. It is designed for dry indoor ceiling mounting only. For outdoor environments exposed to rain, wind, or temperature extremes, a camera with an IP66 or higher rating and an appropriate housing is required.
- What resolution does the camera produce and does it maintain 30fps at full resolution?
The HV-QNF-9010 produces a maximum resolution of 3008×3008 pixels from its 12MP sensor and operates at 30fps at that resolution. This full-frame output is available across H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codec streams, with WiseStream II compression available to reduce the bandwidth impact of continuous 12MP streaming.
- How does the lens rotation feature assist with installation?
The lens rotation function allows the installer to physically rotate the fisheye lens element after the camera body has been mounted to the ceiling. This corrects the image orientation so that the panoramic or quad view output is aligned to match the room layout on screen, without needing to reposition the camera body or adjust mounting hardware.
- What analytics does the HV-QNF-9010 support and do they require additional licences?
The camera includes people counting, heatmap, defocus detection, tampering detection, and motion detection as built-in functions. These analytics run on the camera itself and do not require server-side software licences to operate. Data from people counting and heatmap functions can be accessed through compatible Hanwha Vision management software for reporting and trend analysis.
