Product SKU: HAN-WAVE-PRO-08
Product Overview
For integrators building out an 8-camera IP surveillance deployment on the Hanwha Wisenet WAVE platform, the HAN-WAVE-PRO-08 provides the camera channel licences needed to activate recording, management, and analytics across all connected devices. Wisenet WAVE is a professional Video Management System engineered specifically around Hanwha camera capabilities, giving operators access to advanced onboard analytics, a drag-and-drop layout interface, smart motion search, and a built-in multi-server failover system that requires no additional licencing to operate. Each HAN-WAVE-PRO-08 pack covers 8 cameras at 1 licence per channel and does not expire, making it a long-term investment for the installation. The platform scales from intermediate commercial deployments up to enterprise configurations supporting 128 channels per server and up to 50 simultaneous clients. It also integrates bi-directionally with Inner Range Inception for combined video and access control management from a single interface.
Key Capabilities
8-Channel Camera Licencing
Covers 8 IP cameras at 1 licence per channel. Licences do not expire, so there are no ongoing renewal costs or subscription fees tied to the channel count after the initial purchase.
Built-In Multi-Server Failover
Automatic device failover for up to 128 devices is included natively in the WAVE platform with no additional licences required. This removes a common hidden cost found in competing VMS solutions.
Smart Motion Search
Operators can rapidly locate specific footage using the smart motion search tool, reducing the time spent scrubbing through recorded video during incident review or post-event investigation.
Events and Rules Engine
The platform allows the system to be configured to respond automatically to specific camera or device events, enabling automated recording triggers, alerts, and third-party HTTP actions without manual operator intervention.
Inner Range Inception Integration
Bi-directional integration with Inner Range’s Inception access control system allows both video surveillance and access management to be controlled from a single interface or mobile app, simplifying operations on multi-discipline security sites.
Best For
- Commercial IP Camera Installations: Sites running up to 8 Hanwha IP cameras where centralised recording, analytics, and management on the WAVE VMS platform are required.
- Staged WAVE Deployments: Installations that are expanding incrementally, with additional licence packs added as camera counts grow toward the 128-channel server maximum.
- Integrated Security Sites: Projects that combine IP video with Inner Range Inception access control, benefiting from the confirmed bi-directional integration within a single operator interface.
- Multi-Client Monitoring Environments: Operations requiring simultaneous access by multiple users, supported by the platform’s capacity for up to 50 concurrent clients per server.
Why Choose the HAN-WAVE-PRO-08
The HAN-WAVE-PRO-08 is not a generic VMS licence. It is purpose-built for the Wisenet WAVE platform, which is engineered around the specific analytics and features built into Hanwha cameras, particularly the Wisenet X series. Where many VMS platforms charge separately for failover licencing, WAVE includes automatic failover for up to 128 devices at no extra cost. The drag-and-drop layout interface, one-click software updates, and automatic camera discovery reduce configuration time for installers. Critically, licences under this product do not expire, making the per-channel cost a one-time investment rather than a recurring subscription burden. The confirmed Inner Range Inception integration adds genuine value for sites requiring combined access control and video management. Available at Security Wholesalers, the HAN-WAVE-PRO-08 suits integrators who need a scalable, professionally capable VMS licence without the hidden ongoing costs common in the category.
Buyer Decision Tips
Confirm Your Server Architecture Before Purchasing: The HAN-WAVE-PRO-08 cannot be activated on ARM-based servers. Before committing to this licence, verify that your intended server hardware runs a compatible x86 architecture. ARM-based mini-PCs and some embedded devices will not support activation, regardless of operating system.
Plan Your Total Channel Count Across Licence Packs: Each camera requires 1 licence channel. If your installation has more than 8 cameras, you will need additional licence packs to cover the full channel count. The WAVE server supports up to 128 channels, so plan the number of packs required across the full site before purchasing to avoid gaps in coverage or activation delays during commissioning.

Ideal Use Cases
Commercial Office Buildings
An 8-channel licence pack suits a single-floor or boutique commercial tenancy running Hanwha cameras, with WAVE’s drag-and-drop layout enabling a clean operator view across all entry points, corridors, and car park feeds from one screen.
Retail and Hospitality Sites
Retailers and hospitality venues with a fixed number of cameras benefit from the no-expiry licence structure. The smart motion search tool reduces the time staff spend reviewing footage when investigating stock discrepancies or incidents.
Access-Controlled Facilities
Sites using Inner Range Inception for door access management gain bi-directional integration with Wisenet WAVE, allowing security operators to correlate access events with live or recorded camera footage from within a single interface.
Staged Multi-Site Rollouts
Integrators deploying WAVE across multiple sites progressively can purchase 8-channel packs per location, scaling each server up to 128 channels as camera counts grow, without requiring platform changes or software upgrades.
Control Rooms and Video Walls
With support for up to 50 simultaneous clients per server and customisable video wall layouts, WAVE suits monitoring environments where multiple operators need concurrent access to live and recorded footage across a shared display environment.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your installation requires exactly 8 Hanwha IP camera channels on a Wisenet WAVE server running x86 hardware, and you want a permanent, no-expiry licence without ongoing subscription costs or additional failover licencing fees.
- Choose a different model if: Your camera count is significantly higher than 8 and purchasing multiple packs would be less cost-effective than a higher-channel licence pack. Additionally, if your planned server hardware is ARM-based, this licence cannot be activated and you would need to reconsider your server platform before proceeding.
FAQs
- Do the HAN-WAVE-PRO-08 licences expire?
No. Licences under this product do not expire. Once activated, the 8 camera channels remain available indefinitely without renewal fees or subscription payments. This makes the per-channel cost a fixed, one-time investment for the life of the installation.
- Can I use this licence on any server hardware?
No. The HAN-WAVE-PRO-08 cannot be activated on ARM-based servers. Your server must run an x86 architecture. Before purchasing, confirm your intended hardware is compatible. ARM-based mini-PCs or embedded devices, regardless of operating system, will not support activation.
- How many cameras does this licence pack cover?
This pack covers 8 cameras at 1 licence channel per camera. If your installation has more than 8 cameras, additional licence packs are required to cover the full channel count. A single Wisenet WAVE server supports up to 128 channels in total.
- Does Wisenet WAVE require separate failover licences?
No. Automatic device failover for up to 128 devices is built directly into the WAVE platform and requires no additional licencing. This is a significant cost advantage over VMS platforms where failover is sold as a separate add-on module.
- Which cameras are compatible with this VMS licence?
The Wisenet WAVE platform is fully integrated with the Hanwha Wisenet X series and supports Hanwha’s broader range of IP cameras. It also includes automatic camera discovery to simplify initial setup. Refer to Hanwha’s WAVE compatibility documentation for the full list of supported devices before finalising your camera selection.
- Can Wisenet WAVE integrate with Inner Range Inception?
Yes. A confirmed bi-directional integration between Wisenet WAVE and Inner Range’s Inception access control system is supported, allowing operators to manage both video surveillance and access control from a single interface or mobile application. This is particularly useful for sites where door events and camera footage need to be reviewed together.
- Where can I purchase the HAN-WAVE-PRO-08 and get support during installation?
The HAN-WAVE-PRO-08 is part of the Security Wholesalers range, where it is available alongside compatible Hanwha cameras and supporting infrastructure.
