Product SKU: QNF-C9010V
Product Overview
Wide-area surveillance across retail floors, foyers, warehouses and open public spaces often demands multiple fixed cameras to eliminate blind spots. The Hanwha Vision QNF-C9010V addresses this directly with a 12MP fisheye design that delivers full 360-degree panoramic coverage from a single ceiling-mounted installation point. Built on a 1/1.6-inch CMOS sensor and a 1.76mm fixed stereographic lens with an approximately 185-degree field of view, it captures a 3008 x 3008 resolution image that can be dewarped into single panorama, double panorama and quad view modes depending on the monitoring requirement. Featuring Hanwha’s Q-Core AI engine, the QNF-C9010V supports people and vehicle detection, loitering detection, virtual line crossing, heatmapping and people counting. WiseIR night vision reaches approximately 30 metres, and the camera carries IP66, IK10 and NEMA4X ratings, making it suited to both indoor and exposed outdoor environments where coverage density and intelligent analytics both matter.
Key Capabilities
12MP 360-Degree Fisheye Imaging
A 3008 x 3008 resolution image from a single ceiling mount replaces what would otherwise require 3 to 4 fixed cameras to cover the same open floor area, significantly reducing cabling runs and installation time.
Flexible Dewarping Modes
Operators can switch between original fisheye, single panorama, double panorama and quad view displays within compatible software, allowing operators to choose between full-room overview and focused detail views without changing hardware.
Q-Core AI Analytics Engine
Built-in AI classifies people and vehicles, supports virtual line crossing and loitering detection, and feeds business intelligence functions including heatmapping, people counting and queue management directly from the camera.
WiseIR Night Vision to 30m
Balanced infrared illumination across the full fisheye field of view maintains usable image quality at ranges up to approximately 30 metres, avoiding the overexposed centre and dark edges common with basic IR fisheye cameras.
120dB Wide Dynamic Range
A 120dB WDR rating handles scenes where sunlight through windows or strong overhead lighting creates extreme contrast, keeping both bright and shadowed areas in a single fisheye frame legible simultaneously.
IP66, IK10 and NEMA4X Protection
Triple-rated for weather resistance, dust ingress and physical impact, the QNF-C9010V is built for ceiling mounting in exposed outdoor areas, covered car parks and environments where vandalism or harsh conditions are a realistic concern.
Best For
- Large Open Indoor Floors: Retail showrooms, warehouse interiors and open-plan offices where a single ceiling mount needs to cover the entire space without multiple camera positions.
- Business Intelligence Applications: Sites that need heatmapping, people counting and queue management data generated at the camera level without additional analytics servers.
- High-Risk Vandal-Prone Locations: IK10 impact resistance and IP66 weatherproofing make this suitable for publicly accessible outdoor ceilings, covered walkways and transport terminals.
- Coverage Consolidation Projects: Installations where reducing camera count while maintaining complete situational awareness is a priority, particularly in cost-sensitive multi-site rollouts.
Why Choose the QNF-C9010V
Where other 12MP fisheye cameras deliver raw resolution without intelligent processing, the QNF-C9010V combines its imaging capability with a dedicated Q-Core AI engine capable of people counting, heatmapping and queue analysis directly at the edge. This removes the need for separate analytics software licensing for common business intelligence tasks. The 120dB WDR rating is notably higher than typical fisheye cameras in this class, making it a practical choice for retail environments with mixed natural and artificial lighting. The combination of IP66, IK10 and NEMA4X ratings in a single fisheye unit is also uncommon, enabling outdoor ceiling mounting without a separate housing enclosure. Available through Security Wholesalers, the QNF-C9010V suits integrators who need to reduce camera counts without sacrificing analytical capability or environmental durability.
Buyer Decision Tips
Dewarping and NVR Compatibility: The QNF-C9010V supports on-camera dewarping, but to use panoramic and quad view modes within a recording platform you need a compatible Hanwha VMS or NVR that supports fisheye dewarping for this model. Confirm your recording platform supports QNF-series dewarping before purchase. If your NVR does not support dewarping natively, you can still record the raw fisheye image and dewarp using Hanwha’s client software.
Frame Rate at 12MP: The QNF-C9010V captures at up to 20fps at full 12MP resolution. For most wide-area monitoring and business analytics purposes this is sufficient, but if your application requires smooth 30fps recording of fast-moving subjects across the full resolution, consider whether a lower-resolution camera with a higher frame rate would better meet that specific requirement.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail Store Floors
A single ceiling-mounted QNF-C9010V can cover an entire mid-size retail floor. The built-in heatmapping and people counting analytics provide customer traffic data alongside security footage from the same device.
Building Foyers and Reception Areas
The 360-degree fisheye coverage from a central ceiling position captures all entry points and seating zones simultaneously, with AI loitering and virtual line crossing rules applicable to access-controlled areas.
Covered Car Parks and Undercroft Areas
IP66, IK10 and NEMA4X ratings make the QNF-C9010V suitable for outdoor covered ceilings. WiseIR night vision to 30 metres maintains usable footage in unlit or poorly lit parking structures.
Warehouses and Distribution Centres
Ceiling-mounted fisheye coverage reduces the camera count required across large open bays. The quad view dewarping mode lets operators monitor 4 directional perspectives from the same installation point.
Transport Terminals and Public Waiting Areas
Queue management and people counting analytics support crowd monitoring and service planning, while the vandal-resistant IK10 housing withstands the physical demands of high-traffic public environments.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need 360-degree coverage from a single ceiling-mount point, want edge-based AI business intelligence including heatmapping and people counting, and require IP66 and IK10 durability for an exposed or publicly accessible location.
- Choose a different model if: Your application requires 30fps recording at full resolution, as the QNF-C9010V is rated to 20fps at 12MP. A standard fixed-lens camera at higher frame rates may be more appropriate for capturing fast-moving subjects with motion clarity as the primary concern.
- Choose a different model if: The space has a long narrow corridor layout. A fisheye camera mounted at one end of a corridor produces significant distortion at the extremes. A multi-sensor panoramic camera or a wide-angle fixed lens would give more usable coverage for that geometry.
FAQs
- What dewarping modes does the QNF-C9010V support?
The QNF-C9010V supports original fisheye, single panorama, double panorama and quad view. When ceiling-mounted, the full 360-degree fisheye image can be dewarped into any of these views. The available modes may depend on your recording or viewing software and its compatibility with the QNF-C9010V.
- Does the camera dewarp the image on-board or does my recorder need to handle it?
The QNF-C9010V supports on-board dewarping, meaning the camera can output a dewarped stream directly. However, for full dewarping flexibility within a recording platform, a compatible Hanwha NVR or VMS is recommended. If your recorder does not support on-board fisheye dewarping, Hanwha’s client viewer software can be used to dewarp the recorded fisheye image during playback.
- What AI analytics are available from the camera itself, without additional software?
The built-in Q-Core AI engine supports people and vehicle detection, virtual line crossing, loitering detection, heatmapping, people counting and queue management. These analytics are processed at the camera edge, reducing the load on your recording server and removing the need for separate analytics licensing for these specific functions.
- What is the maximum recording frame rate at 12MP?
The QNF-C9010V records at up to 20fps at its full 12MP resolution of 3008 x 3008. This is sufficient for general surveillance, wide-area monitoring and business analytics. Applications requiring 25fps or 30fps smooth motion recording at full resolution are outside the specification of this model.
- How far does the IR night vision reach across a full 360-degree scene?
WiseIR illumination on the QNF-C9010V reaches approximately 30 metres. The IR is balanced to illuminate the full fisheye field of view rather than concentrating light at the centre, which helps avoid the common fisheye problem of a bright central image with dark outer zones. Performance at the outer edges of the fisheye frame will naturally be lower than at the centre.
- Is the QNF-C9010V suitable for permanent outdoor ceiling mounting?
Yes. The camera carries IP66 dust and water resistance, IK10 impact resistance and NEMA4X ratings, making it suitable for exposed outdoor ceiling positions including covered car parks, transport terminals, building overhangs and outdoor walkways where rain, humidity and physical contact are concerns.
- Where can I access the datasheet and technical documentation for the QNF-C9010V?
The full datasheet for the QNF-C9010V is available in the Additional Information section below. Security Wholesalers provides product documentation for the Hanwha Q-Core range to assist integrators and installers in confirming specifications before purchase and during system design.
