Hanwha Vision Launches VGA AI Thermal Camera Series with Sub-16mK NETD

Critical infrastructure operators, border agencies and coastal security teams face a persistent challenge: detecting people, vehicles and vessels in fog, rain, snow or complete darkness without drowning operators in false alarms. Hanwha Vision addresses this with a new VGA AI Tele lens Thermal Camera series that combines ultra-sensitive thermal imaging, AI analytics and hardware-rooted cybersecurity for land and maritime surveillance.

What was announced

Hanwha Vision has launched its new VGA AI Thermal Camera series, delivering AI-based detection across land and maritime environments. The lineup offers industry-leading thermal sensitivity with NETD below 16mK, allowing the AI engine to classify people and vehicles even when crouching, prone or partially obscured, and to reduce false alarms in high-risk sites.

The series introduces AI-powered Vessel Detection optimized for coastal protection, port security and maritime border control, maintaining reliable performance in fog, rain, snow and total darkness. Four lens options are available: 13mm, 19mm, 35mm and 60mm, each offered in 30fps or 8fps versions to match regional regulations and procurement requirements.

Why this matters

For CIOs, CISOs, IT directors and procurement leaders responsible for perimeter protection, critical infrastructure and border operations, thermal precision translates directly into fewer false positives, lower operator fatigue and better evidence quality. Hardware-rooted encryption based on a FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified Secure Element and SD card partition encryption help meet strict cybersecurity requirements while protecting sensitive surveillance footage from tampering.
