Product SKU: XNB-6002
Product Overview
Covert surveillance installations demand a camera that can be concealed without sacrificing imaging performance, and the XNB-6002 is built precisely for that purpose. This remote head camera from Hanwha Vision separates the imaging sensor from the main processing unit, allowing a compact lens module to be positioned in a concealed location while the body remains out of sight. Powered by the Wisenet7 chipset, it captures Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution at up to 60fps, with extremeWDR at 120dB handling difficult lighting conditions such as strong backlighting at ATM surrounds or brightly lit retail counters. Equipped with AI-driven analytics including face detection, people counting, heat mapping, sound classification and queue management, the XNB-6002 goes well beyond simple video capture. Note that no lens is included – a compatible Hanwha remote head lens module must be selected separately to complete the installation.
Key Capabilities
Remote Head Architecture
The sensor and processing unit are physically separated, enabling the lens to be installed in a concealed position – inside a ceiling recess, behind a fascia panel or within a fixture – where a conventional camera body would never fit or be detected.
60fps Full HD Imaging
Delivering 1920 x 1080 at up to 60 frames per second, the XNB-6002 captures smooth footage of fast-moving subjects, making it effective for transaction monitoring at counters or queue areas where frame-skipping could miss critical detail.
extremeWDR at 120dB
High-contrast environments such as bank lobbies, transport vehicle interiors and retail entry points challenge standard cameras with washed-out or underexposed areas. The 120dB extremeWDR preserves detail across the full frame in mixed lighting conditions.
Business Intelligence Analytics
People counting, heat mapping and queue management provide operational data beyond security monitoring, supporting retail performance analysis or passenger flow management in transport environments without deploying additional hardware.
Sound Classification
The Wisenet7 chipset supports audio event detection and sound classification, enabling the camera to flag specific acoustic events – such as glass breaking or raised voices – as part of a broader intelligent monitoring setup.
Best For
- ATM and Cash Handling Areas: The compact lens module can be recessed or hidden within equipment surrounds, capturing transaction activity at close range without alerting subjects to camera presence.
- Retail Counters and POS Monitoring: Discreet placement above or within the counter structure allows continuous monitoring of cash handling and customer interactions, with people counting and heat mapping adding operational value.
- Public Transport Vehicles: The remote head form factor suits installation inside bus or train cabins where space is constrained and an overt camera would be an obstruction or a vandalism target.
- Restricted Corporate and Government Spaces: Offices, server rooms or controlled-access corridors where covert monitoring is required can be covered without the visual disruption of a standard dome or turret camera.
Why Choose the XNB-6002
What separates the XNB-6002 from a standard compact camera is the combination of its remote head architecture and the Wisenet7 chipset running underneath it. The remote head design is not simply about small size – it is about physical separation, so the lens can be placed in a location that would never accommodate a camera body while the main unit sits securely out of reach. The 60fps capture rate and 120dB extremeWDR are not common in modular covert cameras at this resolution, making the XNB-6002 well suited to environments where lighting is uncontrolled and motion is frequent. The addition of face detection, sound classification and business intelligence analytics means the XNB-6002 contributes to operational data collection alongside its core security function. Available at Security Wholesalers, the XNB-6002 is backed by a local supply chain with access to compatible Hanwha lens modules to complete the installation.
Buyer Decision Tips
No Lens Included – Plan Your Lens Module First: The XNB-6002 ships without any lens. Before purchasing, confirm which compatible Hanwha remote head lens module is appropriate for your installation – the field of view, focal length and physical format of the lens must suit the concealed mounting position. Selecting the wrong lens module for a tight or angled installation can significantly reduce the camera’s effectiveness, so lens selection should be treated as part of the initial design rather than an afterthought.
PoE or 12V DC Power – Confirm Your Installation Method: The XNB-6002 supports both PoE and 12V DC power, giving flexibility for different installation environments. In transport or embedded applications where PoE infrastructure is not practical, the 12V DC option allows the camera to draw power from the vehicle or equipment power supply. Plan cabling routes for both the power source and the cable connecting the remote lens module to the main unit before committing to a mounting location.

Ideal Use Cases
ATM and Cash Dispenser Monitoring
The compact remote lens can be embedded within ATM fascia or cabinet surrounds, capturing close-range facial detail at up to 60fps with extremeWDR compensating for overhead fluorescent lighting and screen glare.
Retail Counter and POS Coverage
Recessed into a countertop fitting or ceiling panel directly above a point-of-sale terminal, the XNB-6002 monitors transaction activity discreetly while people counting and heat mapping data supports retail operations planning.
Public Transport Interiors
Bus and train cabins benefit from the slim lens profile, which can be mounted in overhead panels or behind protective housings. The 12V DC power option allows the camera to draw from the vehicle’s own power system without requiring PoE infrastructure.
Restricted Corporate and Government Areas
Server rooms, secure offices and controlled-access corridors can be monitored without the presence of a visible camera, supporting both security monitoring and discreet workplace oversight where overt cameras are impractical or undesirable.
Gaming and Casino Floors
Environments requiring undetected overhead or table-level observation benefit from the XNB-6002’s flexible lens placement. The sound classification capability adds an additional detection layer for audio events in high-activity areas.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your installation requires physical separation of the lens from the camera body – such as embedding the sensor inside equipment, behind a panel or in a space where no conventional camera housing would fit – and you need Full HD resolution at 60fps with AI analytics built in.
- Choose a different model if: Your site does not require covert or concealed placement and a standard fixed dome or turret camera would suffice – those options typically include a lens and are simpler to deploy without needing to source and match a separate lens module.
- Choose a different model if: You need outdoor-rated weatherproofing, IR night vision or a self-contained camera that works straight out of the box. The XNB-6002 is designed for controlled indoor or embedded environments and relies on compatible lens modules and appropriate protective housings for any specific environmental requirements.
FAQs
- Does the XNB-6002 come with a lens?
No. The XNB-6002 ships without any lens. A compatible Hanwha remote head lens module must be purchased separately. The lens module connects to the main unit via a dedicated cable, allowing the sensor to be positioned at a distance from the processing body. Confirming lens compatibility with your specific installation requirements before ordering is essential. - How far can the lens module be placed from the main unit?
The maximum cable length between the remote lens module and the XNB-6002 main unit depends on the specific lens module selected and the cable used. Refer to the Hanwha Vision datasheet for the XNB-6002 and the specifications of your chosen lens module to confirm the supported cable run distance for your installation. - Why does this camera support up to 60fps when most IP cameras run at 25fps?
The 60fps capability is relevant for environments where subjects move quickly or where smooth video is needed for accurate frame-by-frame review, such as at a cash counter or gaming table. Standard 25fps cameras can produce motion blur or missed frames in fast-activity areas, whereas 60fps provides noticeably smoother capture for detail-critical applications. - What does extremeWDR 120dB mean in practical terms?
Wide dynamic range allows the camera to handle scenes where bright and dark areas exist simultaneously in the same frame, for example a brightly lit entrance behind a counter. At 120dB, the XNB-6002 can maintain visible detail in both the bright background and the shaded foreground, which is more capable than standard WDR cameras typically rated at 90-100dB. - Can the XNB-6002 record locally without a network video recorder?
Yes. The XNB-6002 supports microSDXC cards up to 1TB, enabling onboard recording directly on the device. This is useful as a standalone backup recording method or in installations where network connectivity is limited, such as within a transport vehicle. - What analytics are available on the XNB-6002?
The Wisenet7 chipset enables face detection, people counting, heat mapping, queue management, loitering detection, directional movement detection, tampering alerts and sound classification. These analytics make the XNB-6002 useful not only for security monitoring but also for operational data collection in retail and transport environments. - Is the XNB-6002 compatible with Hanwha NVRs and VMS platforms?
