Product SKU: XNV-A9084R
Product Overview
Combining 4K imaging with a dual NPU AI engine, the Hanwha Vision XNV-A9084R is a vandal dome camera engineered for outdoor installations where analytical depth matters as much as resolution. Built on the Wisenet 9 platform, it captures 8MP video at 3840 x 2160 through a 4.4-9.3mm motorised varifocal lens, allowing field-of-view adjustment from wide-angle coverage down to a focused 47-degree view without any physical repositioning at the camera head. The 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor works alongside WiseIR illumination rated to 40-50 metres, ensuring consistent image quality after dark. AI analytics cover person, face, vehicle and licence plate detection, as well as behavioural events including intrusion detection, loitering and line crossing. The housing carries IP66, IP67, IK10 and NEMA ratings, making the XNV-A9084R well suited to perimeter walls, car park ceilings, loading dock entries and external building facades where the dome profile keeps the camera compact and the IK10 rating resists deliberate impact.
Key Capabilities
Dual NPU AI Engine
Two dedicated neural processing units handle image enhancement and analytics simultaneously, allowing the XNV-A9084R to classify people, faces, vehicles and licence plates accurately without sacrificing frame rate or resolution under load.
8MP 4K Resolution on a 1/1.8″ Sensor
The larger 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor captures 3840 x 2160 video with improved low-light sensitivity compared to smaller sensor formats, giving installers the image detail required for licence plate and face identification at a distance.
Motorised Varifocal Lens
The 4.4-9.3mm motorised lens allows remote zoom and focus adjustment across a 2.1x range, letting installers fine-tune coverage from a wide 113-degree view to a tighter 47-degree angle after the dome is mounted, without opening the housing.
WiseIR Night Illumination
Built-in WiseIR adjusts infrared intensity relative to subject distance, maintaining balanced exposure across the frame at ranges up to 40-50 metres and preventing overexposure of close subjects while retaining background detail.
Behavioural Analytics and Business Intelligence
Beyond object classification, the XNV-A9084R supports intrusion detection, loitering alerts, line crossing and directional movement events. People counting and heat mapping extend its usefulness to operational reporting in retail, transport and facility management settings.
IP66, IP67, IK10 and NEMA-Rated Housing
The vandal dome housing meets both immersion and dust ingress ratings alongside an IK10 impact resistance rating, making it suitable for exposed outdoor mounting points where the camera may face both weather extremes and deliberate interference.
Best For
- Perimeter and Entry Monitoring: The motorised varifocal lens and 40-50m WiseIR range allow the camera to cover gates, roller doors and building entries with adjustable depth of field after installation.
- Car Park Surveillance: The 8MP sensor combined with vehicle and licence plate detection AI makes it practical for capturing plate detail across car park lanes and entry/exit points.
- Industrial and Exposed Outdoor Sites: IP66, IP67 and IK10 ratings together with NEMA compliance support reliable operation in environments subject to water ingress, dust, temperature extremes and physical impact.
- Commercial Premises Requiring Operational Data: People counting and heat mapping functions add a business intelligence layer suited to retail concourses, transport hubs or managed facilities alongside standard security monitoring.
Why Choose the XNV-A9084R
The XNV-A9084R sits apart from standard 8MP dome cameras through its dual NPU configuration, which processes image quality enhancement and AI analytics as separate workloads running in parallel. This means the camera does not trade detection performance for image clarity when both are active. The motorised varifocal lens in this housing type removes the need for physical repositioning during commissioning, which is a practical advantage when the dome is ceiling-mounted at height. The Wisenet 9 platform supports both security analytics, including face and licence plate detection, and operational metrics such as people counting, which broadens its return on investment beyond pure surveillance. The combination of IP66, IP67, IK10 and NEMA ratings in a single dome unit is less common at this sensor size and gives installers confidence when specifying for exposed or high-risk mounting positions. The XNV-A9084R is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Hanwha X-Series range.
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Range and Mounting Distance: The 4.4-9.3mm varifocal range means this camera is best suited to medium-distance coverage rather than very wide open areas requiring a sub-3mm lens or long-range narrow views beyond 50 metres. Before specifying, confirm that your intended mounting height and target detection zone fall within the 47-113-degree field-of-view range and the 40-50m IR distance. If you need continuous pan and tilt coverage across a large open space, this is a fixed-position dome and a PTZ unit would be a more appropriate choice.
AI Analytics Activation and NVR Compatibility: The full suite of AI analytics including licence plate detection, people counting and heat mapping may require a compatible Hanwha NVR or VMS platform to action alerts and store analytics data. Confirm your recording infrastructure supports Wisenet 9 AI event handling before deployment if these features are part of the project brief, as basic ONVIF recording alone may not surface all analytics outputs.

Ideal Use Cases
Building Perimeter Walls and Fences
The IK10 vandal dome housing and IP67 rating allow direct wall mounting along perimeter lines where the camera is exposed to weather and potential interference. The WiseIR range of 40-50m covers typical perimeter fence approaches in darkness.
Car Parks and Vehicle Entry Points
AI-driven vehicle and licence plate detection helps operators log or flag vehicle activity at entry and exit lanes. The motorised varifocal lens allows the field of view to be narrowed toward the lane without repositioning the dome head after ceiling mounting.
Loading Docks and Logistics Areas
Intrusion detection and loitering alerts support after-hours monitoring of loading zones where unauthorised access is a risk. The 120dB WDR helps maintain usable images when dock doors are open and bright exterior light creates high-contrast conditions.
Retail Concourses and Shopping Centre Corridors
People counting and heat mapping functions provide foot traffic data that complements security monitoring in retail environments. The 8MP resolution supports facial detail capture in areas where identification may be required after an incident.
Industrial Sites and Exposed Outdoor Infrastructure
The NEMA rating alongside IP66 and IP67 covers sites exposed to dust, moisture and temperature cycling common in industrial and utilities environments. The dome profile reduces the risk of the housing acting as a wind load or obstruction point in exposed locations.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need 8MP AI analytics including licence plate and face detection in a weather and vandal-resistant dome housing with a motorised varifocal lens, and your installation involves medium-range outdoor coverage between approximately 10 and 50 metres.
- Choose a different model if: You require continuous pan, tilt and zoom control across a large open area, in which case a PTZ camera would provide coverage flexibility that a fixed vandal dome cannot match regardless of its lens range.
- Choose a different model if: Your site has very long detection ranges beyond 50 metres or requires full-colour night vision without infrared, as the XNV-A9084R uses IR illumination rather than visible-light night colour imaging.
FAQs
- What does the dual NPU configuration mean in practice for the XNV-A9084R?
Having 2 neural processing units means the camera runs image quality processing and AI analytics as separate tasks at the same time. A single NPU design often has to divide processing resources between the 2 functions, which can reduce either image output quality or detection accuracy under load. The dual NPU setup in the Wisenet 9 platform is designed to avoid that trade-off.
- Does the motorised varifocal lens allow adjustment after the dome is sealed?
Yes. The 4.4-9.3mm motorised varifocal lens is adjusted remotely through the camera’s web interface or compatible VMS software, so there is no need to unseal or reposition the dome housing once it is mounted. This is particularly useful for ceiling installations at height where repeated physical access would be impractical.
- What is the effective night vision range of the XNV-A9084R?
The built-in WiseIR illumination is rated to approximately 40-50 metres. WiseIR automatically adjusts the intensity of the infrared output based on how close a subject is to the camera, which reduces the overexposure that standard fixed-output IR can produce on nearby objects while maintaining visibility at the rated distance.
- Can the XNV-A9084R detect licence plates?
Licence plate detection is listed as a confirmed AI capability of the Wisenet 9 platform on this model. For reliable plate capture in practice, ensure the mounting height, angle and lens zoom setting are configured so that the plate occupies sufficient pixel area within the frame, and that lighting conditions at the detection point are adequate for the IR range.
- Is the XNV-A9084R suitable for mounting in areas where the camera could be physically struck?
The IK10 rating means the dome housing is rated to withstand a defined impact force, making it appropriate for locations where accidental or deliberate contact with the camera is a risk. This includes car park ceiling mounts where vehicles or equipment may come close, and public-access areas where tampering is a concern.
- What analytics events does the camera generate?
Confirmed analytics events include intrusion detection, loitering, line crossing and directional movement. Object classification covers persons, faces, vehicles and licence plates. Business intelligence outputs include people counting and heat mapping, which are separate from security event triggers and provide occupancy and movement pattern data.
- Where can I purchase the XNV-A9084R in Australia and access the datasheet?
