Product SKU: HAN-WAVE-PRO-01
Product Overview
For installers building out a Wisenet WAVE Video Management System, the HAN-WAVE-PRO-01 provides a single IP camera channel licence that unlocks one additional camera within the platform. Wisenet WAVE is a professional VMS from Hanwha designed to work natively with Hanwha Wisenet cameras, supporting the onboard video analytics and advanced features built into the Wisenet camera range. Featuring a scalable architecture that supports up to 128 channels per server and up to 50 clients, the platform suits intermediate through to enterprise-scale installations. This licence includes no expiry date, making it a long-term addition to any WAVE deployment. It also integrates with Inner Range Inception access control, allowing bi-directional management of video surveillance and access control from a single interface. Note that this licence cannot be activated on ARM-based servers.
Key Capabilities
No-Expiry Licence
Once activated, the HAN-WAVE-PRO-01 licence does not expire. This removes the ongoing renewal overhead common with subscription-based VMS models, giving integrators and end users a predictable, one-time cost per camera channel.
Built-In Automatic Failover
Wisenet WAVE includes automatic device failover for up to 128 devices with no additional failover licences required. This is a meaningful cost saving on larger installations where redundancy is a client requirement and competing VMS platforms charge separately for it.
Events and Rules Engine
The platform allows operators to configure the system to react to specific events through a dedicated events and rules engine. This enables automated responses such as recording triggers, notifications, or third-party HTTP requests based on camera or system activity.
Smart Motion Search
Operators can rapidly locate footage using the built-in smart motion search tool, reducing the time spent scrubbing through recordings. This is particularly useful on larger multi-camera installations where manual review of stored video would otherwise be time-consuming.
Inner Range Inception Integration
Wisenet WAVE integrates bi-directionally with Inner Range Inception, combining video surveillance and access control into a single operator interface. This simplifies workflows for security teams managing both systems on the same site.
Best For
- Incremental WAVE System Expansion: Installers adding cameras to an existing Wisenet WAVE deployment one at a time can licence each camera individually rather than purchasing a larger block upfront.
- Sites Using Hanwha Wisenet X Series Cameras: The platform is fully integrated with the Wisenet X series, ensuring native access to onboard analytics and advanced camera features that are not available through generic VMS platforms.
- Installations Requiring Access Control Integration: Sites running Inner Range Inception alongside their CCTV can unify both systems through WAVE without additional middleware or third-party connectors.
- Intermediate to Enterprise-Scale Projects: With support for up to 128 channels per server and server hive configurations, WAVE scales well beyond small installations, making this per-camera licence suitable for staged rollouts on larger sites.
Why Choose the HAN-WAVE-PRO-01
The HAN-WAVE-PRO-01 is a single-channel addition to the Wisenet WAVE VMS ecosystem, but it carries the full capabilities of the platform behind it. Unlike basic NVR software or generic VMS solutions, WAVE provides built-in multi-server redundant failover at no extra licence cost, a confirmed feature that competing platforms often charge for separately. The events and rules engine, smart motion search, automatic camera discovery, and one-click software updates are all included per channel. The no-expiry model means the investment is made once per camera, with no recurring annual fees to budget for. The confirmed Inner Range Inception integration adds genuine value for sites where access control and video need to be managed together. Available through Security Wholesalers, the HAN-WAVE-PRO-01 is suited to installers who want a capable, scalable VMS without the overhead of subscription renewals or separate failover licensing.
Buyer Decision Tips
ARM Server Compatibility: The HAN-WAVE-PRO-01 cannot be activated on ARM-based servers. Before purchasing licences, confirm that the server hardware running Wisenet WAVE uses an x86 architecture. ARM-based mini-PCs or single-board computing platforms commonly used in cost-sensitive installations will not support this licence. Check your server specifications before ordering.
Licence Quantity Planning: Each HAN-WAVE-PRO-01 covers 1 camera channel. For a site with 8 cameras, 8 licences are required. If you are planning a staged deployment, purchasing licences incrementally as cameras are added is a valid approach given that licences do not expire and can be added to the same server over time.

Ideal Use Cases
Commercial Office Buildings
Multi-tenancy office environments with staged camera rollouts benefit from the per-channel licence model. The Inner Range Inception integration is particularly relevant where access control systems are already in use across the same building.
Retail and Hospitality Sites
Sites with a defined camera count that may expand over time can purchase licences as cameras are added. The smart motion search tool helps operators review incidents quickly across multiple retail cameras without manual footage scrubbing.
Industrial and Warehouse Facilities
Large facilities with significant camera counts across loading docks, perimeter lines, and internal zones benefit from WAVE’s 128-channel-per-server capacity and automatic failover, which ensures continuous recording without manual intervention during a server fault.
Education and Government Campuses
Multi-building campuses with distributed server infrastructure can use WAVE’s server hive configuration to link multiple servers under a unified platform. The no-expiry licence model simplifies long-term budget planning across multi-year procurement cycles.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are adding a single camera to an existing Wisenet WAVE server, or building a new WAVE deployment incrementally and want a perpetual, no-expiry per-channel licence without paying for unused capacity upfront.
- Choose a different model if: You are licensing a large camera count at once – purchasing individual single-channel licences for a 20 or 40 camera installation may be less efficient than a multi-channel licence pack where one is available. Confirm licence bundle options with your distributor before ordering high quantities of single licences.
- Consider your server hardware first: If your planned server uses an ARM-based processor, this licence cannot be activated. An x86-based server is required for Wisenet WAVE deployment.
FAQs
- What does the HAN-WAVE-PRO-01 actually unlock?
This licence activates 1 IP camera channel within the Wisenet WAVE VMS platform. Each physical IP camera connected to your WAVE server requires its own licence. The licence is perpetual and does not expire once activated, so there are no annual renewal fees associated with this purchase.
- Can I use this licence on any server hardware?
No. The HAN-WAVE-PRO-01 cannot be activated on ARM-based servers. Your WAVE server must be running on x86 architecture. This is a confirmed platform restriction, so verify your server processor type before purchasing. Standard Windows or Linux x86 servers used in most commercial installations are compatible.
- Does the failover feature require separate licences?
No. Automatic device failover for up to 128 devices is built into the Wisenet WAVE platform and does not require additional failover licences. This is included as part of the standard WAVE software, which is a meaningful difference from VMS platforms that charge separately for high-availability or redundancy features.
- How many cameras can one Wisenet WAVE server support?
A single Wisenet WAVE server supports up to 128 channels and up to 50 clients simultaneously. For installations exceeding this, WAVE supports a server hive configuration where multiple servers are linked under the same management interface, allowing the platform to scale to enterprise-level deployments.
- Does Wisenet WAVE work with non-Hanwha cameras?
Yes. While WAVE is fully integrated with the Hanwha Wisenet X series and provides native access to Hanwha-specific analytics features, it also supports third-party IP cameras. Third-party devices can receive HTTP requests through the events and rules engine, and cameras can be discovered automatically during setup.
- How does the Inner Range Inception integration work with WAVE?
Wisenet WAVE supports bi-directional integration with Inner Range Inception, an access control platform used across commercial and government sites in Australia. This allows operators to manage both camera feeds and access control events from a single interface or mobile app, rather than switching between separate systems. Security Wholesalers can assist with confirming compatibility requirements for your specific Inception and WAVE versions.
