Hanwha’s WAVE 6.0 delivers advanced video management with a one-time license – no annual fees, no headaches. Built for end-to-end control with seamless integration across sites, users, and Hanwha hardware. PLUS, major news on Hanwha pricing you need to know…
Hanwha’s Wave 6.0 VMS evolution isn’t just an update – it’s a shift in strategy
For years, Hanwha’s been known for its bulletproof surveillance cameras – reliable, secure and enterprise-ready.
But with the release of WAVE 6.0, they’ve gone all-in on software too.
WAVE isn’t just a tool to view camera feeds. It’s a full-featured Video Management System (VMS) that puts you in control of your entire security environment – with intuitive controls, streamlined user management and the flexibility to scale across hundreds of locations.
Unlike Genetec or Milestone software, it doesn’t come with a permanent drain on your budget.
WAVE is licensed once, not yearly. That means no ongoing subscription. No surprise invoices. Just full ownership from day one.
🚨IMPORTANT🚨 Hanwha recently announced a price freeze amid market uncertainty, so now’s the time to lock in any camera purchases you were considering. Give us a call if you need advice.
Designed for simplicity, built for scale
With WAVE 6.0, the brains behind the cameras just got an upgrade, adding meaningful updates across the board:
- A redesigned interface for setting up and managing users faster
- Enhanced LDAP integration for IT teams working across enterprise networks
- Camera “hotspot” linking to track movement between zones in real time
- Temporary user support with granular permission control and expiration rules
- Seamless email notifications through WAVE Sync – no SMTP config required
Plus, you’ll get smarter search tools, custom layouts, predictive storage analytics and advanced integrations with access control, PTZ, 2-way audio and third-party dashboards.
Whether you’re handling a 12-camera system or 1,200 – WAVE 6.0 gives you the same intuitive control, with none of the vendor lock-in.
Works best with Hanwha cameras, but not only with Hanwha cameras
WAVE 6.0 is optimized for native use with Hanwha Vision cameras, unlocking advanced analytics, motion detection and metadata integration automatically.
But it’s also fully ONVIF-compliant, meaning it works with thousands of third-party cameras – IP, multi-sensor, thermal, panoramic and more.

Add in hardware acceleration for NVIDIA GPUs, automatic camera failover and support for multi-sensor and PTZ models, and it’s clear: Hanwha’s no longer just a camera company, it’s a comprehensive surveillance provider.
Dive deeper into WAVE’s features
Hanwha WAVE VMS solves these common challenges
Subscription bloat
No annual licenses or recurring charges. Buy once, own it.
Consider that Genetec’s VSaaS bundle with 22 TB of storage and 20 camera connections costs $5,900 upfront, then at least $248 per connection, per year if you want unified video and access control. Yikes.
Painful scaling across locations
Centralized system health and device management across multiple sites.
Manual user provisioning
LDAP sync and group-based permissions cut setup time dramatically.
Footage gaps from hardware failure
Built-in failover and cloud-integrated alerts keep you covered.
Slow, clunky search tools
Navigate footage by calendar, motion events, camera linking, and more.
Video management doesn’t have to be a money pit
If your current VMS is locking you into pricey renewals or dragging down deployment speed, it might be time to switch.
Hanwha’s WAVE 6.0 puts control, clarity and cost back in your hands.
One platform. One license. All yours.
