Hanwha Wisenet Launches Direct-to-Cloud EDGE Cameras
While direct-to-cloud cameras are strategically important, most providers today are new entrants (Ava, Meraki, Rhombus, Verkada, etc.). Now Hanwha is moving into this area with its new Wisenet EDGE line.
In this report, we examine the offering and how Wisenet EDGE compares to Ava, Axis, and Verkada, including detailed feedback from Hanwha.
