If you’re already using Hanwha Vision, or considering it, BLAZE is the video management software designed to get the most out of their advanced Wisenet 9 chipset, unlocking AI capabilities that are often underused in day-to-day operation.
Get more out of Hanwha Vision with BLAZE VMS
Announced at the recent ISC West conference, Hanwha Vision’s hybrid AI VMS was built to fully optimize their Wisenet 9 chipset and make the capabilities inside their growing AI ecosystem easier to tap into.
That means deeper analytics, natural language search to detect objects and improved intelligence across compatible devices are at your fingertips in a system that’s unified by design.
Go beyond basic detection
Created in-house, BLAZE was made to get the most out of their chipset as well as specialized Hanwha Vision devices, pulling everything into a single interface, without jumping between separate camera web viewers.
A shift from managing devices one at a time to managing intelligence across the system with easy-to-configure:
- Object detection and classification
- Virtual areas and line crossing
- Attribute-based filtering like color, type or accessories
Beyond video feeds, BLAZE allows for deeper integration with and control of devices like:
- Intercom systems
- Thermal monitoring cameras to spot check temps and monitor alerts
- IP speaker systems for bi-directional audio
- License plate recognition
Where AI becomes usable by everyone
Yes, AI is popping everywhere. But AI for the sake of it doesn’t mean much; it’s about how it’s integrated.
BLAZE focuses on usability.
Instead of scrubbing through footage or relying on basic motion events, the system introduces more practical ways to find and assess what matters.
- Semantic search lets you use real, daily language to find who and what you’re looking for, i.e., “person with red hat and face cover in the lobby”
- Similarity search tracks the same subject across multiple cameras
by analyzing visual metadata, tracking their path totally - Advanced rules engine allows you to set flexible WHEN/DO parameters (think: when this happens, do that), moving you from reactive monitoring to preventative action.
The point isn’t just faster search; it’s reducing the time between something happening and taking action.
And importantly, all of that collected metadata stays local — processed at the system level, not pushed to the cloud — ensuring privacy.
Designed to deploy without friction
On the deployment side, BLAZE couldn’t be more straightforward. Pre-configured appliances come loaded with recording licenses, with options for onboard PoE and storage, so systems can be brought online quickly and without a ton of manual setup.
Scaling is simple via cloud-based federation, allowing multiple sites to be connected and managed centrally, without requiring constant on-site access.
That includes:
- Remote system access across locations
- Centralized user and role management
- Real-time health monitoring for hardware and storage
- Audit trails for system activity
It aligns with how projects roll out in the real world; incrementally, across sites and under constraints.
BLAZE VMS + OnCAFE access control = complete security
BLAZE handles the video side, OnCAFE handles access control across doors, credentials, permissions and alarms for full coverage.
OnCAFE’s award-winning system is only made stronger by the upgrades Hanwha Vision built into their new VMS, optimizing the link between what’s detected and how the facility responds, moving from reactive to proactive security.

A unified, more powerful security system — by design
While BLAZE is a leap forward, Hanwha Vision will continue to support existing enterprise VMS platforms like Genetec, Milestone or WAVE.
The good news is that it’s now possible to get more out of what’s already there, especially if you’re working with Wisenet 9 devices and looking to use the full scope of capabilities built into them.
