Hanwha Wisenet X 5MP Camera Tested (XNV-8080R)

By: IPVM Team, Published on Feb 13, 2018

Wisenet X is Hanwha's high-end camera line. We tested their Wisenet X 1080p camera last year. Now Hanwha is offering 5MP cameras listing super low light and true WDR.

We bought and tested the 5MP XNV-8080R IR dome against the 1080p XNV-6080R to find out.

In this report, we cover:

  • Physical features
  • Installation issues
  • IR coverage
  • IR range
  • Low light image quality
  • Full light image quality
  • WDR performance
  • Bandwidth
  • VMS integration

Readers interested in new generation 5MP/6MP models should also see our tests of the Axis Q3517-LVE and Dahua 5MP "starlight" plus look for our upcoming Hikvision test and shootout of all 4 of these manufacturers.
