Built for the Future of Security with End-to-End Hanwha Integration, Native AI, and Multi-Site Scalability
Hanwha Vision is advancing its surveillance ecosystem with the launch of BLAZE, a next-generation hybrid Video Management System (VMS) designed to streamline deployment, enhance AI-driven investigations, and support scalable multi-site operations.
Built as an end-to-end platform, BLAZE integrates seamlessly with Hanwha Vision devices while combining on-premises performance with cloud-based federation and centralized management.
Hybrid Architecture For Modern Surveillance
BLAZE blends local system performance with cloud capabilities, allowing organizations to manage multiple locations through a unified interface. Its architecture enables secure centralized access while maintaining operational efficiency across distributed environments.
According to Andy Jungwoo Ryu, Chief Strategy & Product Officer at Hanwha Vision,
“BLAZE represents a major step in Hanwha Vision’s evolution toward a software-driven, AI-enabled platform. By bringing together AI analytics, hybrid cloud architecture, and seamless device integration, BLAZE strengthens our ability to deliver an end-to-end surveillance ecosystem for customers worldwide.”
Seamless Integration Across Devices
The platform natively supports a wide range of Hanwha Vision devices, including:
- Cameras (including Wisenet 9)
- Thermal imaging devices
- Speakers and intercoms
BLAZE automatically detects connected devices and applies optimized configurations, significantly reducing installation time. Bulk camera configuration and preconfigured defaults allow installers to deploy systems in minutes rather than hours.
This tight integration ensures a consistent experience from setup through daily operations.
AI-Native Video Management
BLAZE is built with native AI capabilities powered by WiseAI, enabling:
- Fast object and attribute search across recorded video
- AI-based similarity search to track individuals across multiple cameras
- Efficient forensic investigations across large environments
A key innovation is Semantic Search, powered by generative AI. Operators can use natural language queries such as:
“a person with a face cover and a backpack in the office lobby”
This allows faster and more intuitive video analysis compared to traditional attribute-based searches.
Scalable Multi-Site Management
BLAZE is designed to scale from single-site deployments to large, distributed environments. Its clustered architecture ensures:
- High performance and system resilience
- Expansion without operational disruption
- Centralized control across multiple locations
Through cloud-based federation, organizations can unify multiple systems under one platform with:
- Single sign-on (SSO)
- Centralized user management
- Secure remote access without VPNs or port forwarding
Ethan Kim, Head of Product – Software Solutions at Hanwha Vision, stated:
“Customers want a seamless experience between Hanwha devices and the VMS that is simple to configure, intuitive to use, and easy to manage. BLAZE delivers natural workflows, scalable system architecture, and centralized user control for organizations managing multiple sites without adding operational complexity.”
Purpose-Built Appliances
To further simplify deployment, BLAZE will be offered with dedicated appliances that are:
- Pre-licensed and ready to use
- Hardened for security and reliability
- Free from operating system management requirements
These systems enable faster installation and reduce the burden on integrators and IT teams.
