Hanwha Vision and Navtech Radar integrate to strengthen perimeter protection

Hanwha Vision has announced an integration between its PTZ PLUS camera line and Navtech’s AdvanceGuard radar platform.

This collaboration delivers a high-value, unified perimeter protection solution that enhances security outcomes, boosts operator efficiency, and improves risk management across extensive and complex sites.

The integration of Navtech AdvanceGuard with Hanwha Vision’s PTZ PLUS cameras, including the XNP-6400RW and XNP-C6403RW models, unifies radar and video into a single automated workflow. Navtech AdvanceGuard provides 360-degree high-resolution radar coverage up to a 5km radius per sensor, offering long-range detection that can outperform traditional perimeter sensors and ensure continuous coverage and reliable detection in inclement weather or darkness. 

When a radar-defined rule is breached, AdvanceGuard instantly directs the PTZ camera using precise target coordinates, ensuring uninterrupted visual tracking without the need for manual operator control. This accelerates threat verification and enables organisations to secure expansive perimeters without increasing their monitoring resources. This makes the integrated solution ideal for critical and complex sites, such as airports and ports, with wide perimeters to monitor. It also reduces the need for dense camera networks, lowering capital expenditure and ongoing maintenance demands. 

Increased operational efficiency 

Advanced AI features in the XNP-6400RW and XNP-C6403RW further improve operational efficiency. For instance, AI auto-tracking allows operators to enable a camera to lock onto and track a target with a single right-click. AI-powered video analytics classify people and vehicles, allowing operators to remain hands-free to manage other priorities while maintaining accurate, continuous surveillance. False alarms are reduced using deep learning algorithms that filter out irrelevant information such as shadows, wildlife, and wind-blown trees. This reduces operator fatigue, improves focus, and ensures that security teams only respond to genuine threats.

Object classification also enhances post-event efficiency. Operators can quickly conduct smart forensic searches to locate specific people or vehicles, improving investigation times and supporting more effective incident resolution. Intelligent analytics such as line crossing, area intrusion, loitering, and appear/disappear events further streamline monitoring across sensitive zones.

John Lutz Boorman, Head of Product & Marketing at Hanwha Vision Europe said, “The Hanwha Vision and Navtech Radar integration is an exciting development for security leaders who require dependable, scalable, and intelligent perimeter protection. 

“By uniting Hanwha Vision’s industry-leading AI-powered cameras with Navtech’s radar precision, operators benefit from continuous situational awareness while improving their operational efficiency and streamlining their workload. Ultimately, helping organisations to strengthen the resilience of their large, critical, and complex sites.”
