Product SKU: QNO-8010R
Product Overview
Designed for outdoor perimeter coverage where a wide viewing angle matters more than long-range reach, the QNO-8010R is a 5MP bullet camera from Hanwha’s Wisenet Q series. Fitted with a 2.8mm fixed lens and rated to both IP66 and IK10, it handles exposed mounting positions on building facades, entry points, and retail exteriors where the housing may be subject to deliberate impact as well as weather. Featuring WiseStream II compression technology, the QNO-8010R can reduce bandwidth by up to 50% and, when combined with H.265 encoding, delivers up to 75% bandwidth efficiency improvement over H.264. It also integrates 120dB Wide Dynamic Range for scenes with mixed lighting, 20m IR for low-light coverage, and defocus detection with remote focus adjustment to reduce on-site calibration time. This makes it well suited to small and medium-sized installations at retail sites, banking branches, and commercial offices seeking cost-effective outdoor coverage without sacrificing image integrity.
Key Capabilities
5MP Resolution at 30fps
Capturing at up to 5 megapixels at a full 30 frames per second, the QNO-8010R delivers sufficient detail to identify individuals or vehicles at outdoor entry points without the higher cost of 8MP hardware.
120dB Wide Dynamic Range
With 120dB WDR, the camera handles scenes where bright outdoor light meets shaded areas, such as building entrances and covered walkways, maintaining usable exposure across the entire frame rather than blowing out highlights.
WiseStream II Bandwidth Compression
WiseStream II dynamically adjusts compression based on scene complexity, reducing bandwidth by up to 50%. Combined with H.265, it can cut transmission and storage demands by up to 75% compared to H.264, which matters on NVRs with limited throughput.
IP66 and IK10 Outdoor Rating
The IP66 rating seals the camera against dust ingress and direct water jets, while IK10 impact resistance adds protection against physical tampering. These dual ratings make it appropriate for exposed outdoor mounting positions in public-facing commercial environments.
Defocus Detection and Remote Focus
Built-in defocus detection alerts the system when the image drifts out of focus. Installers can correct focus remotely via the network, reducing return visits and shortening commissioning time on multi-camera commercial deployments.
Best For
- Retail and Banking Exteriors: The 2.8mm wide-angle lens captures broad coverage across shopfronts and ATM forecourts, while IK10 resistance addresses the risk of deliberate camera interference in publicly accessible locations.
- Commercial Building Entry Points: At doorways and covered entrances where natural light and shadow contrast is high, the 120dB WDR maintains clear imaging of faces and vehicles moving through the frame.
- Small to Medium Multi-Camera Systems: WiseStream II and H.265 support reduce the storage load per channel, allowing more cameras to run longer retention periods on the same NVR hardware.
- Exposed Wall and Fascia Mounting: The bullet form factor suits directional mounting on exterior walls and soffits where the camera needs to be angled toward a specific zone, and IP66 plus IK10 handle the outdoor environment without additional enclosures.
Why Choose the QNO-8010R
The QNO-8010R sits in a practical position within Hanwha’s Wisenet Q series, offering a combination of 5MP resolution, dual weather and impact certification, and efficient compression that lower-tier cameras in this range do not provide together. The IK10 rating is notable for a bullet-format camera, making it a stronger fit than standard IP66-only bullet cameras for sites where physical interference is a realistic concern. The inclusion of WiseStream II means network and storage overhead is actively managed rather than left to fixed bitrate settings, which reduces infrastructure costs on systems with multiple cameras. Remote defocus correction supports faster installation across multi-point deployments where climbing back to adjust a lens manually adds labour cost. Available through Security Wholesalers, the QNO-8010R is a considered option for integrators building out retail, office, or banking surveillance systems where every channel needs to justify its footprint on the network.
Buyer Tip: The 2.8mm fixed lens provides a wide field of view, which suits coverage of broad areas at close to medium range. If the installation requires reaching subjects at distance, such as the far end of a car park or along a long fence line, a bullet camera with a longer focal length or varifocal lens will produce more usable detail. The QNO-8010R is strongest when mounted within 8 to 12 metres of the primary area of interest.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail Shopfront Monitoring
The wide 2.8mm lens covers the full width of a shopfront or entrance canopy in a single frame. IK10 resistance adds a layer of protection in retail precincts where cameras are within reach of passersby.
Banking and ATM Approaches
120dB WDR maintains clear imaging in the high-contrast lighting typical of covered ATM bays, where overhead light sources create bright patches against dark surroundings during night operations.
Office Building Perimeter
Mounted on external walls at ground-floor level, the QNO-8010R provides 5MP outdoor coverage of pedestrian access routes with the IP66 rating keeping the unit sealed against exposure to rain and dust.
Multi-Camera Bandwidth-Constrained Networks
On sites where network infrastructure limits total throughput, WiseStream II dynamically reduces bitrate without fixed quality loss, allowing more cameras to share the same connection without degrading recording continuity.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a wide-angle outdoor bullet camera with 5MP resolution, IK10 vandal resistance, and efficient H.265 compression for a small to medium commercial site where subjects are within 8 to 12 metres of the camera.
- Choose a different model if: The primary requirement is monitoring subjects at distance, such as the length of a car park or along a fence line exceeding 15 metres. A bullet camera with a longer focal length or varifocal lens will provide more workable subject detail at range than the 2.8mm fixed lens on this model.
- Choose a different model if: The installation is indoors and a lower-profile dome or turret form factor is preferred for ceiling mounting in a customer-facing environment where the bullet housing would appear visually prominent.
FAQs
- What does the 2.8mm fixed lens cover in terms of viewing angle?
A 2.8mm lens provides a wide field of view, typically in the range of 100 to 110 degrees horizontal depending on the sensor size. This makes it effective for covering broad areas at short to medium distances, such as a shopfront or building entrance. It is not suited to identifying subjects at extended ranges beyond 10 to 12 metres.
- Is the QNO-8010R suitable for outdoor use in Australian weather conditions?
Yes. The IP66 rating confirms the housing is sealed against dust and high-pressure water jets, making it appropriate for direct outdoor installation on building exteriors. The IK10 rating additionally certifies it against impact force, which adds useful protection on publicly accessible mounting positions.
- How does WiseStream II affect storage requirements?
WiseStream II reduces bitrate during low-activity periods by applying more aggressive compression when the scene is static, then relaxing it when motion increases. This can reduce overall storage consumption by up to 50% compared to standard H.264 encoding, and up to 75% when paired with H.265. The result is longer retention on the same storage capacity without a fixed reduction in image quality.
- What is defocus detection and why does it matter?
Defocus detection continuously analyses the sharpness of the live image and raises an alert when the scene falls out of focus, which can occur due to vibration, physical interference with the lens, or condensation. The remote focus adjustment feature means an operator or installer can correct focus via the network management interface without needing to physically access the camera.
- Does the QNO-8010R work with third-party NVRs?
The QNO-8010R supports ONVIF compliance, which provides interoperability with a broad range of third-party NVR platforms. For full access to Hanwha-specific features including WiseStream II, defocus detection alerts, and hallway view, a compatible Hanwha Wisenet recorder or software is recommended. Check your NVR documentation to confirm which Hanwha features are passed through.
