Hanwha Vision has announced the integration of its PTZ PLUS cameras with Navtech's AdvanceGuard radar system, aiming to enhance perimeter protection and situational awareness across extensive sites.
This partnership combines radar and video technology to offer a streamlined, automated solution that benefits security personnel by improving efficiency and elevating risk management strategies.
Addressing Wide-Area Security Needs
The collaboration involves Hanwha Vision’s PTZ PLUS camera models, such as the XNP-6400RW and XNP-C6403RW, working in tandem with Navtech AdvanceGuard. This system provides 360-degree radar coverage over a radius of up to 5km per sensor, ideal for long-range detection that performs reliably in poor weather conditions and at night. When a radar rule is triggered, AdvanceGuard directs the PTZ cameras to maintain continuous visual tracking without requiring manual input, thus accelerating threat assessment.
This integration is particularly suitable for large-scale facilities like airports and ports, which require effective monitoring across wide perimeters. By eliminating the need for extensive camera networks, organizations can reduce both initial setup costs and ongoing maintenance expenses.
Enhanced Operational Efficiency
The cameras come with advanced AI functionalities that allow for improved operational effectiveness The XNP-6400RW and XNP-C6403RW cameras are equipped with advanced AI functionalities that allow for improved operational effectiveness. These include AI auto-tracking that lets operators engage a target with a single click and AI-driven video analytics that accurately differentiate between people and vehicles, freeing operators to concentrate on other tasks. Moreover, deep learning capabilities minimize false alarms by filtering out irrelevant triggers such as natural movement or changes in lighting, reducing staff fatigue and ensuring focus on actual threats.
Efficient object classification also bolsters post-event analysis, enabling swift forensic searches to identify specific individuals or vehicles, thus enhancing investigation efficiency and incident management. Additional intelligent features like line crossing, area intrusion detection, and loitering alerts further optimize monitoring efforts.
Developments for Security Leaders
John Lutz Boorman, Head of Product & Marketing at Hanwha Vision Europe, expressed enthusiasm for the integration, describing it as a significant advancement for security leaders needing robust and scalable perimeter protection.
"By uniting Hanwha Vision's industry-leading AI-powered cameras with Navtech's radar precision, operators benefit from continuous situational awareness while improving their operational efficiency and streamlining their workload. Ultimately, helping organizations to strengthen the resilience of their large, critical, and complex sites," stated Boorman.
Hanwha Vision, a foremost in video surveillance and security solutions, announces an integration between its PTZ PLUS camera line and Navtech’s AdvanceGuard radar platform.
This collaboration delivers a high-value, unified perimeter protection solution that enhances security outcomes, boosts operator efficiency, and improves risk management across extensive and complex sites.
Addressing the challenges of wide-area security
The integration of Navtech AdvanceGuard with Hanwha Vision’s PTZ PLUS cameras, including the XNP-6400RW and XNP-C6403RW models, unifies radar and video into a single automated workflow. Navtech AdvanceGuard provides 360-degree high-resolution radar coverage up to a 5km radius per sensor, offering long-range detection that can outperform traditional perimeter sensors and ensure continuous coverage and reliable detection in inclement weather or darkness.
When a radar-defined rule is breached, AdvanceGuard instantly directs the PTZ camera using precise target coordinates, ensuring uninterrupted visual tracking without the need for manual operator control. This accelerates threat verification and enables organizations to secure expansive perimeters without increasing their monitoring resources. This makes the integrated solution ideal for critical and complex sites, such as airports and ports, with wide perimeters to monitor. It also reduces the need for dense camera networks, lowering capital expenditure and ongoing maintenance demands.
Increased operational efficiency
Advanced AI features in the XNP-6400RW and XNP-C6403RW further improve operational efficiency. For instance, AI auto-tracking allows operators to enable a camera to lock onto and track a target with a single right-click. AI-powered video analytics classify people and vehicles, allowing operators to remain hands-free to manage other priorities while maintaining accurate, continuous surveillance.
False alarms are reduced using deep learning algorithms that filter out irrelevant information such as shadows, wildlife, and wind-blown trees. This reduces operator fatigue, improves focus, and ensures that security teams only respond to genuine threats.
Object classification also enhances post-event efficiency. Operators can quickly conduct smart forensic searches to locate specific people or vehicles, improving investigation times and supporting more effective incident resolution. Intelligent analytics such as line crossing, area intrusion, loitering, and appear/disappear events further streamline monitoring across sensitive zones.
Development for security leaders
John Lutz Boorman, Head of Product & Marketing at Hanwha Vision Europe said, “The Hanwha Vision and Navtech Radar integration is an exciting development for security leaders who require dependable, scalable, and intelligent perimeter protection."
“By uniting Hanwha Vision’s industry-leading AI-powered cameras with Navtech’s radar precision, operators benefit from continuous situational awareness while improving their operational efficiency and streamlining their workload. Ultimately, helping organizations to strengthen the resilience of their large, critical, and complex sites.”
