Hanwha Alternative Open Platform, Superior AI
Move beyond closed ecosystem surveillance. Surveillant delivers cloud-native AI analytics that work with Hanwha cameras and every other brand simultaneously. Get natural language search, intelligent threat detection, and unified management without vendor restrictions.
The Constraints of Integrated Ecosystems
Hanwha Vision, formerly Hanwha Techwin, provides a comprehensive portfolio of cameras, recorders, and VMS software designed to work as a unified ecosystem. This integrated approach simplifies initial deployment but introduces constraints that become more apparent as organizations grow and their security needs evolve.
The Wisenet ecosystem encourages organizations to standardize on Hanwha hardware and software throughout their deployment. While this creates consistency, it also limits flexibility when specific monitoring scenarios call for specialized camera capabilities from other manufacturers. The analytics available through Wisenet Wave and on-device processing cover fundamental scenarios but lack the depth of cloud-based AI intelligence.
As organizations expand across multiple facilities, the limitations of NVR-centric architecture become increasingly burdensome. Each location requires its own recording infrastructure, creating management overhead that scales linearly with deployment size. Cross-site investigation requires accessing multiple independent systems rather than querying a single unified platform.
For growing organizations with multi-vendor camera environments, the requirement to fit within a single manufacturer ecosystem creates purchasing constraints. Security teams should be free to choose the best camera for each application, whether that means a PTZ from one manufacturer, a fisheye from another, or a thermal camera from a specialist vendor.
Vendor-Neutral Intelligence at Scale
Surveillant was built from the ground up as a vendor-neutral platform. We believe the intelligence layer should be independent of hardware choices. Your Hanwha cameras, alongside cameras from any other manufacturer, connect through standard protocols and receive the same advanced AI analytics.
Our cloud-native architecture eliminates the NVR management burden entirely. Whether you have five cameras at one location or five thousand across fifty sites, everything connects to a single platform. Cross-site investigations become instant queries rather than multi-system detective work. Your entire deployment is searchable from one interface using natural language descriptions.
The AI capabilities available through Surveillant go well beyond what any on-device or NVR-based analytics can deliver. Behavioral analysis, cross-camera person tracking, anomaly detection, and comprehensive security intelligence reporting all operate from the cloud where compute resources are unlimited.
Expansion becomes straightforward. Adding cameras from any manufacturer at any location requires no new infrastructure investment. The platform scales automatically. New AI capabilities deploy to every connected camera without on-site intervention. Your security intelligence improves continuously without hardware upgrades.
Cloud AI That Transforms Any Camera
Capabilities that require unlimited cloud compute, delivered to every connected camera regardless of manufacturer.
Natural Language Search
Search across all cameras and all locations with conversational queries. Describe what you need and get instant results without scrubbing through recordings or configuring search parameters.
Contextual Threat Alerts
AI that understands the difference between normal activity and genuine security threats. Detect intrusions, aggression, loitering, and policy violations with far fewer false alarms than basic motion triggers.
Unified Multi-Site View
Manage cameras across all your locations from a single dashboard. No more logging into separate NVRs at each facility. One platform gives you visibility and control across your entire operation.
Person Re-Identification
Track individuals across cameras from different manufacturers, angles, and locations. The AI maintains identity through occlusions, lighting changes, and movement between camera views.
Security Analytics
Heat maps, traffic flow visualization, occupancy trends, and incident analytics. Transform raw video data into strategic intelligence that informs security planning and resource allocation.
Automatic Updates
New AI capabilities deploy to your platform automatically. No firmware updates, no on-site visits, no version management. Your analytics get smarter over time without any operational effort.
Why Security Teams Choose Surveillant
Organizations that switch to cloud-based intelligence consistently report significant operational improvements.
Natural language search across all cameras and sites replaces tedious manual footage review at individual NVRs.
Eliminate NVR hardware costs, reduce maintenance overhead, and source cameras competitively from any manufacturer.
Use any ONVIF or RTSP compatible camera. Mix Hanwha with any brand to get the right sensor for every application.
Cloud-native architecture means no local recording infrastructure to buy, maintain, or eventually replace.
Break Free From Ecosystem Lock-In
Connect your Hanwha cameras to Surveillant and experience vendor-neutral AI intelligence. No hardware changes, no complexity, just better surveillance.
