VMS integration

FI Tech + Hanwha Wisenet: AI Vision on Your Existing CCTV

FI Tech is camera-agnostic and integrates with Hanwha Wisenet cameras and WAVE / SSM VMS via ONVIF Profile S/T and RTSP — no rip-and-replace. We pull streams from your NVR or media server, run PPE, intrusion, fall, fire, license-plate and occupancy models, then post detections back as WAVE bookmarks or External Events. Typical pilot deploys in 2–4 weeks on a Riyadh-hosted, PDPL-aligned data path.

Setup guide

Seven steps from "verify ONVIF" to "test alert".

  1. 01

    Verify ONVIF profile and Wisenet firmware

    Confirm each camera is on a recent Wisenet firmware (1.41.x or later for X-series) and that ONVIF Profile S/T is enabled in the camera web UI.

  2. 02

    Open the LAN path to FI Tech

    Allow RTSP 554/TCP and ONVIF 80 or 443/TCP from the FI Tech inference host to each camera and to WAVE / SSM media servers. No outbound internet is needed for on-prem mode.

  3. 03

    Provision Wisenet ONVIF and VMS users

    On each camera, create a dedicated ONVIF Operator user. In WAVE or SSM, create a service account with View Live and Bookmark / External Event privileges.

  4. 04

    Install the FI Tech connector

    Deploy the FI Tech connector container on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Point it at the WAVE Server / SSM Manager and authenticate with the service account.

  5. 05

    Map cameras and AI models

    In the FI Tech console, select Wisenet cameras and assign AI models per stream — PPE, intrusion, fall, fire, license plate, occupancy. Save the mapping.

  6. 06

    Configure alert routing

    Choose how detections appear: WAVE bookmark with snapshot, External Event Rule action, WOP plugin overlay, or webhook to your SOC. Test with a tripwire event.

  7. 07

    Test the end-to-end alert path

    Stage a controlled scene. Verify detection reaches the WAVE / SSM operator within ~1.5 s and that the configured rule action fires.

AI models supported on Hanwha Wisenet

  • PPE compliance

    Hard hat, vest, gloves, boots, harness — strong on Wisenet 4K-IR sensors.

  • Intrusion / perimeter

    Polygon zones, loitering, tailgating; complements Wisenet AI cameras' on-board events.

  • Fall detection

    Slip and from-height events for industrial and warehouse environments.

  • Fire and smoke

    Early-stage detection, day and night IR.

  • License plate (LPR)

    Saudi + GCC plates; runs on Wisenet PTZ and bullet streams.

  • Occupancy and people-counting

    Per-zone counts, queue length, dwell time. Fuses with Wisenet AI counting where available.

Sample latency and accuracy

End-to-end latency
1.0 – 1.8 s end-to-end (camera → inference → WAVE bookmark)
Throughput
10 – 25 FPS per stream depending on model and GPU class
Model accuracy
PPE 92–96% mAP, intrusion 96%+ recall, LPR 94%+ on Saudi plates

Typical figures — depend on resolution, codec, lighting, GPU (T4 / L4 / A2000) and network jitter.

Saudi-specific deployment

For KSA customers, FI Tech offers a PDPL-aligned data path: raw video stays on your Wisenet NVR or WAVE Media Server, inference runs on a sidecar appliance on your LAN or in our Riyadh region, and only structured detections leave the camera network. Alert routing is hosted in Riyadh with a documented residency boundary, and audit logs are exportable for NCA / SDAIA review.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to swap our Wisenet cameras to use FI Tech?

No. FI Tech is camera-agnostic and integrates with Wisenet via ONVIF/RTSP. Cameras already streaming to your WAVE / SSM / NVR are eligible — no firmware swap.

Is FI Tech a Hanwha Vision Technology Partner?

FI Tech connects via the publicly documented ONVIF, RTSP and Wisenet Open Platform interfaces. Formal partner status is tracked separately on our partners page.

How do detections show in Wisenet WAVE?

Detections appear as bookmarks with snapshots on the live timeline, or as external events that drive WAVE Event Rules — pop-up tile, alarm, email or webhook. A WOP plugin can render bounding-box overlays.

Can FI Tech run on Wisenet AI cameras alongside on-board analytics?

Yes. We treat on-board Wisenet AI events as additional inputs and fuse them with our cloud / sidecar analytics — useful for raising precision or for unsupported analytics like PPE.

How does data residency work in KSA?

Raw video stays on your Wisenet recorder. Inference runs on-prem or in our Riyadh region; only structured detections cross the network. Audit logs are exportable for NCA / SDAIA review.
