Configuring ONVIF Settings for Hanwha (Samsung Techwin) Cameras

Set up Hanwha, Hanwha Techwin, and Samsung Techwin cameras for Coram: admin password, ONVIF settings, and date/time configuration.

💡 At a Glance

For seamless integration with Coram, Hanwha cameras need a strong admin password, ONVIF enabled, and accurate date/time settings. Modern Wisenet cameras require password setup on first boot. Older models (labeled Samsung Techwin or early Hanwha Techwin) may use admin with a blank password.

This article applies to all three branding generations — Samsung Techwin, Hanwha Techwin, and Hanwha Vision. They use the same credentials, ONVIF behavior, and Wisenet management software.

⚡ Key Tasks

  • Access the camera's web interface at its IP address (default: 192.168.1.100) and set a strong admin password (modern models) or log in with admin and a blank password (older models).

  • Verify ONVIF is enabled in the camera's network or integration settings.

  • If no ONVIF admin user exists, create one with the same credentials you used to log in.

  • Verify the camera's date and time settings are accurate.

For detailed information, keep reading below.

Overview

Samsung Techwin was acquired by Hanwha and rebranded — first to Hanwha Techwin, then to Hanwha Vision. All three names refer to the same product line, and all models use the Wisenet management platform. If your camera label says Samsung Techwin, Hanwha Techwin, or Hanwha Vision, the configuration steps in this article apply — including multi-sensor models such as the PNM-C34404RQPZ.

Configuring ONVIF Settings

To configure ONVIF settings for a Hanwha camera:

  1. On a computer connected to the same network as the camera, open a web browser and enter the camera's IP address (default: 192.168.1.100).

  2. If the camera is a modern Wisenet model, it presents a password setup screen on first access. Create a strong password and complete the setup. If the camera is an older model, log in with username admin and a blank (empty) password, then change the password.

  3. Navigate to the camera's network or integration settings and locate the ONVIF configuration section. On most Wisenet cameras, ONVIF is enabled by default. If it is disabled, enable it and click Apply or Save.

  4. In the ONVIF settings area, check whether an ONVIF admin user exists. If no user is listed, create one with the same admin username and password, and set the role to Administrator. Click Apply or Save.

  5. Navigate to the camera's system or time settings. Confirm the date, time, and time zone are correct. If the time is incorrect, enable NTP synchronization or set it manually. Click Apply or Save.

Note: The exact location of ONVIF settings varies by Wisenet firmware version and camera generation — look under the Network, Integration, or Protocol menus.

Result

After completing these steps, the camera should appear in Coram with an ONVIF label, and live video should load normally. If the camera connects but the ONVIF label is missing, see Enabling and Verifying ONVIF Settings.

Notes and Tips

  • Static IP conflict: The default IP address is 192.168.1.100 (static). If you are setting up multiple Hanwha cameras, connect and configure them one at a time to avoid IP conflicts. You can also use the Wisenet Device Manager utility (free, Windows) to assign unique IP addresses in bulk.

  • Factory reset: To factory reset a Hanwha camera, hold the RESET button for 5 seconds. This restores the camera to its default state, including the activation requirement on modern models.

  • RTSP fallback: If ONVIF auto-discovery does not work, consult the Wisenet documentation for the RTSP URL pattern for your specific model — patterns vary across model generations and firmware versions. To learn more about specifying custom RTSP URLs in Coram, refer to Adding Cameras That Require a Custom RTSP URL Path.
