Hanwha PRN-1600B2 16CH NVR 64TB 8K 32MP
The Hanwha PRN-1600B2 is a powerful 16-channel standalone NVR engineered for mid-to-large scale IP surveillance deployments requiring ultra-high resolution 8K (32MP) recording capability. This Intel-based system delivers license-free operation with advanced AI-driven search and analytics, making it ideal for enterprise, municipal, and critical infrastructure applications where maximum detail capture and intelligent video analysis are essential.
Key Features
- 16-channel IP camera input supporting up to 32MP resolution
- 64TB raw storage capacity with 8 internal SATA HDDs
- H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codec support with WiseStream bandwidth optimization
- 250 Mbps recording bandwidth in distributed mode; 150 Mbps normal mode
- Dual stream recording for simultaneous high-resolution storage and remote viewing
- RAID 5 and RAID 6 fault tolerance with Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB)
- Dual HDMI display output: 4K at 30Hz and 1080p at 60Hz
- Seamless integration with Hanwha Wisenet AI cameras and legacy P, X, Q series cameras
Recording and Storage Architecture
The PRN-1600B2 provides 8 fixed internal SATA drive bays with maximum 10TB per drive, delivering 64TB raw capacity in the -64TB model variant. H.265 video compression with WiseStream technology minimizes bandwidth consumption without sacrificing image quality. Dual stream recording enables simultaneous high-resolution archival and lower-bandwidth remote access. Built-in RAID 5 and RAID 6 protection ensures data integrity across multiple drive failures, while ARB enables rapid system recovery.
AI Search and Advanced Analytics
Integrated AI capabilities include Best Shot and Attribute search for intelligent video investigation. Object detection, classification, and license plate recognition functions work natively with Wisenet AI cameras and extend to select non-AI Hanwha camera models. Dynamic event triggering and automated reporting streamline security operations and incident response workflows.
Applications
- Enterprise and corporate security centers
- Transportation and transit hubs
- Smart city and municipal surveillance
- Critical infrastructure protection
- Large-scale retail and distribution facilities
Ted PerryPerspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.
The PRN-1600B2 stands out for its exceptional 32MP recording capability and efficient H.265 codec implementation. The combination of 250 Mbps bandwidth and WiseStream optimization allows organizations to capture ultra-detailed video across 16 channels without excessive storage overhead. Dual RAID support and ARB provide enterprise-grade reliability, while AI search functions dramatically reduce time-to-insight for security investigations.
The system's flexibility to support both Wisenet AI and legacy camera ecosystems makes it a practical choice for staged technology upgrades in large deployments.
