Hanwha Wisenet Encoder HAN-SPE-410 4ch, 15fps at 4MP, HDMI, QVGA, BNC, PoE, 12VDC (Special Order)

Product SKU: HAN-SPE-410

Product Overview

For integrators and system designers looking to bring existing analog cameras into a modern IP-based surveillance network, the Hanwha Wisenet SPE-410 is a purpose-built 4-channel video encoder that bridges the gap between legacy BNC infrastructure and IP NVR systems. This compact metal-bodied unit accepts up to 4 analog BNC video inputs and encodes them for network transmission at up to 4MP resolution, with frame rates of 15fps at 4MP or 30fps at full 1080p. Equipped with H.264 and MJPEG codec support and capable of delivering up to 3 streaming profiles per channel simultaneously, the SPE-410 supports flexible multi-device viewing across different platforms. An HDMI output allows local monitoring from the encoder itself, while ONVIF and Samsung protocol compatibility ensures broad integration with Hanwha Wisenet NVRs and third-party platforms. Powering options include 12VDC or PoE, keeping installation flexible. Please note this is a special order item and requires pre-ordering with confirmed lead time from the manufacturer.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Analog-to-IP Migration Projects: Converts up to 4 existing analog BNC cameras into networked IP streams, enabling integration with modern NVR systems without requiring camera replacement across the site.
• Hanwha Wisenet System Expansions: ONVIF and Samsung protocol support makes the SPE-410 a natural fit for adding legacy cameras into an existing Hanwha Wisenet NVR deployment where analog inputs are not natively available.
• Sites Requiring Local On-Screen Monitoring: The built-in HDMI output allows a monitor to be connected directly to the encoder, supporting control room or reception desk viewing without additional switching hardware.
• Flexible PoE or DC-Powered Installations: Support for both 12VDC and PoE power input gives installers options where a dedicated power supply at the encoder location may not be practical.

Why Choose the Hanwha Wisenet SPE-410

The SPE-410 addresses a specific need that a straight camera swap cannot solve: bringing genuinely functional analog cameras into an IP system without the cost or disruption of full replacement. Unlike a basic single-channel encoder, the SPE-410 handles 4 BNC inputs from one compact 178 x 34 x 127.8mm metal unit, keeping rack space and cabling overhead low. The dual-resolution mode, supporting 4MP at 15fps or 1080p at 30fps, means operators can select the output that suits their recording platform and storage budget. Multi-profile streaming across up to 3 streams per channel allows concurrent delivery to different client types simultaneously. ONVIF compatibility ensures the unit is not locked to a single VMS. Available through Security Wholesalers as a special order item, the SPE-410 suits integrators planning considered system upgrades rather than off-the-shelf replacements.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose this model if: You need to encode up to 4 analog BNC cameras into IP streams for integration with a Hanwha Wisenet NVR or any ONVIF-compatible platform, and your site has an existing analog camera installation worth retaining.
• Choose a different model if: You require H.265 compression for reduced storage load across high-channel recording, or if your project needs more than 4 analog inputs encoded from a single unit. A multi-channel encoder with H.265 support may be more appropriate for larger legacy analog deployments.
• Choose a different model if: Your project timeline cannot accommodate a special order lead time. If immediate availability is required, a stocked hybrid recorder or DVR with built-in analog inputs may be a more practical fit.

FAQs

1. What does the SPE-410 actually do and when would I need one?
   The SPE-410 is a video encoder that takes analog BNC camera signals and converts them into IP video streams that can be transmitted over a standard network. You would use it when you have existing analog cameras that you want to integrate into an IP NVR system, rather than replacing those cameras with IP models. It handles up to 4 BNC inputs from one compact unit.
2. Why is the frame rate at 4MP lower than at 1080p?
   Encoding at higher resolution requires significantly more processing than encoding at 1080p. The SPE-410 is rated at 15fps per channel when operating at its maximum 4MP output, compared to 30fps when set to 1080p. For scenes where motion smoothness matters more than pixel count, such as pedestrian or vehicle movement, 1080p at 30fps will often produce more practically useful recordings than 4MP at 15fps.
3. Can I connect the SPE-410 to a non-Hanwha NVR or VMS?
   Yes. The SPE-410 supports ONVIF protocol in addition to the native Samsung protocol, which means it can be added to any ONVIF-compatible NVR or video management software platform. This makes it suitable for mixed-vendor installations where Hanwha equipment is not exclusively in use across the site.
4. What is the HDMI output used for on this encoder?
   The HDMI port allows a monitor to be connected directly to the SPE-410 for local display of the encoded video feeds. This is independent of any NVR or VMS display and is useful in control rooms or reception areas where a dedicated screen showing the analog camera inputs is needed at the encoder location itself.
5. What does special order mean and how long will it take to arrive?
   The SPE-410 is not a stocked item. It must be pre-ordered and the lead time depends on manufacturer availability at the time of ordering. You should contact the supplier before placing an order to confirm current lead time. Security Wholesalers recommends confirming availability and wait time before committing the unit to a project schedule with a fixed installation date.
6. Does the SPE-410 support PoE and is that enough to power it?
   Yes, the SPE-410 can be powered via PoE as well as by a 12VDC power supply. The maximum power draw is rated at 9.6W, which falls within the standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af) budget of 15.4W, meaning a standard PoE switch port should be sufficient to power the unit without requiring a PoE+ port.
