Great Hanwha hardware. Basic software.

How to Get More from Your Wisenet Cameras

If you've invested in Hanwha Wisenet cameras, you've made an excellent hardware choice. Hanwha (formerly Samsung Techwin) builds professional-grade cameras trusted by enterprises worldwide - exceptional image quality, robust construction, and reliable performance.

The question isn't whether your Hanwha cameras are good. They are. The question is: can you make them smarter?

The WAVE VMS Challenge

Wisenet WAVE is a capable VMS, but users encounter real frustrations:

• Per-camera licensing costs add up across your system
• AI analytics require additional per-stream licenses
• Mobile app has playback speed bugs and connectivity issues
• ONVIF integration can cause cameras to go offline
• Cloud support for older versions being deprecated

And fundamentally: WAVE records crimes, it doesn't prevent them.

The Licensing Problem

Hanwha's approach to AI is licensing-based:

• Base camera license required (around $100-165 per camera)
• AI analytics plugin requires separate per-stream license
• Professional features locked behind additional costs
• Cameras 3-4x more expensive than comparable alternatives

You've already invested significantly in hardware. Why pay again for basic AI features?

Can You Upgrade Hanwha Detection Without More Licensing?

Yes. scOS connects to your existing Hanwha cameras. You keep your hardware investment, but gain intelligence without per-camera licensing.

Better detection:

• Contextual AI that learns your property's normal patterns
• Ignores rain, headlights, and shadows
• Alerts only on genuine anomalies
• No additional per-stream AI licenses required

Cross-camera intelligence:

• WAVE treats each feed separately
• scOS tracks activity across your entire property
• Understands movement patterns between cameras

Actual prevention:

• Your Hanwha cameras record brilliantly
• scOS detects suspicious behaviour before it becomes a crime
• Automatically triggers lights, sirens, and deterrents
• Intruders leave before reaching your door

Simple control:

• One app instead of managing WAVE complexity
• Designed so you rarely need to open it
• Works across all your cameras without per-channel fees

Making the Upgrade

Adding scOS to your Hanwha system:

1. Keep your cameras - They're excellent professional hardware, scOS works with them
2. Simple installation - It's simple. An engineer comes to your property, sets up your Intelligence Hub, and connects your cameras. That's it.
3. Immediate improvement - Better detection, real prevention, simpler control

You've already invested in great hardware. scOS makes that investment actually work for you - without more per-camera licensing.

Why scOS?

We built scOS with one obsession: detecting suspicious activity. Not motion. Not pixels changing. Suspicious activity.

It only alerts you when something matters. Just like a person would. Not when a cat walks by. Not when headlights sweep across your drive. When something actually needs your attention.

And here's the thing - scOS is designed to be left alone. No tweaking. No adjusting sensitivity sliders. No input needed. It learns your property and handles the rest.

Every feature is included. No tiers, no add-ons, no per-camera licensing. See everything you get.

One more thing: scOS works with any wired camera brand. Your Hanwha cameras. Your neighbour's Hikvision. That Axis camera you inherited. All of them, working together as one intelligent system.
