Hanwha Vision launches AI mobile cameras with dynamic privacy masking, ideal for public transport

Hanwha Vision, the global vision solution provider, has added leading AI capabilities to its compact range of mobile cameras. The range, including models TNV-C8014RM and TNV-C8034RM, showcases powerful AI analytics, alongside colour detection of clothing and vehicles, and dynamic privacy masking. At only 55mm in height, the solution is discreet and well-suited to spaces with low ceilings, such as buses and trains.

Dynamic Privacy Masking

Dynamic Privacy Masking is a standout feature of the AI mobile cameras, with personally identifiable information such as people’s faces, clothing, and bodies blurred out in operator footage. If an event were to occur that requires evidence, a supervisor or manager would be able to unlock the redacted video for investigation. This feature is ideal for busy public transport environments, in which video streams may be constantly monitoring many passengers and travellers who are on the move.

AI-powered analytics improves responses

The T series AI mobile cameras feature AI-powered analytics, including object and colour attribute detection. Alerts are only issued for events that merit a response, as AI-powered motion detection reduces the potential for false alarms caused by changing light patterns, wildlife or shadows.

Object detection for people, trucks, cars, buses, and bicycles can alert operators to unexpected vehicles within a loading depot or to possible trespassing along railway lines and other hazardous or restricted areas. Colour detection provides further contextual information to ground teams or for forensic searches by classifying different coloured vehicles or clothing items (upper/lower).

Intelligent virtual analytics, including virtual area and line-crossing detection, enable operators to receive alerts based on an object entering a pre-defined space or crossing a line. Alerts can be set based on the time of day or specific object behaviour, for example, a person detected as loitering in a certain area, such as outside a station.

Business intelligence features

The range adds much value to other business areas, including operations, sales and marketing. Heatmap analytics can influence station and sign layouts, while people and vehicle counting or queue management can inform staffing, transport, and maintenance schedules.

Robust, onboard vehicle solution

The camera incorporates Digital Image Stabilisation technology and has a built-in gyro sensor to deliver clear images while moving, for example, on buses or trains. It also features defog and heating capabilities to reduce condensation when operating in inclement conditions. The camera enables defocus detection, tampering and shock detection to alert operators to potential vandalism of the device and to prevent loss of footage.

The cameras come with next-level cybersecurity in the form of user and network authentication, OS/firmware protection, secure communication and more. This protects data from unauthorised user access, encrypts data for transit, and helps to prevent brute force attacks on the devices.

The AI mobile cameras were designed to cater to environments where an intelligent, discreet, and low-profile camera was needed to ensure security, provide valuable business insights, and deliver clear footage in moving spaces. A host of AI-powered analytics on each camera ensures that operators are more informed about events occurring on buses, trains and in stations and depots, while delivering added value to operations and other business areas.
