Hanwha QRN-1630S 16-Channel PoE NVR with 20TB Storage

Hanwha QRN-1630S Overview

The Hanwha QRN-1630S is a 16-channel PoE-powered network video recorder engineered for mid-to-large deployments requiring high-capacity storage and direct camera integration. With dual 10TB SATA HDDs (20TB total), support for 8MP resolution cameras, and 16 integrated PoE ports delivering 130W total budget, this NVR eliminates external PoE infrastructure for compact installations while maintaining enterprise-grade recording and playback performance. The QRN-1630S is NDAA and FCC compliant, making it suitable for security-sensitive environments and federal procurement scenarios.

Hanwha QRN-1630S Key Features

• 16-Channel 8MP Capacity: Supports up to 16 network cameras at full 8MP resolution (CIF to 8MP adaptive), enabling detailed forensic playback across mid-scale deployments without resolution compromise.
• Integrated 16-Port PoE Power: Built-in 802.3af PoE ports with 130W total power budget provide direct camera connection and power delivery, reducing installation complexity and eliminating standalone PoE switch requirements for camera-centric installations.
• 128Mbps Network Recording Bandwidth: Handles simultaneous recording from all 16 channels at maximum bandwidth (128Mbps), supporting continuous or event-triggered recording modes with dual-stream capability for bandwidth optimization.
• Multi-Codec Compression (H.265/H.264/MJPEG): Flexible codec support with H.265 efficiency for storage reduction, H.264 for broad device compatibility, and MJPEG for specialized applications—selectable per camera or globally via scheduling.
• Dual 4K/Full HD HDMI Display Outputs: HDMI1 delivers 4K (3840×2160 @ 30Hz) local display resolution with dynamic layout; HDMI2 supports 1920×1080 (60Hz) with up to 16-division grid, enabling dedicated monitoring stations or auxiliary display configurations.
• Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB): Edge recording retrieval feature automatically recovers video from cameras with local storage during network interruptions, preventing data loss and enabling forensic reconstruction post-incident.
• Dual-Stream Recording Option: Simultaneous primary and secondary stream recording allows high-resolution archival storage paired with lower-bandwidth real-time transmission, balancing storage efficiency with live monitoring responsiveness.
• 20TB Total Storage Capacity: Two fixed SATA HDD slots support up to 10TB per drive (20TB maximum), providing substantial on-box retention for extended recording periods without external NAS dependency.
• Alarm I/O & Audio Integration: Four alarm inputs and two alarm outputs (dry contact) with RCA audio output support integration with third-party sensors, door controllers, and audio notification systems for cross-platform event response.
• P2P Cloud Access & Mobile Management: QR code-based P2P connection enables quick Wisenet Mobile app pairing on iOS and Android devices; free Wisenet Viewer software provides web-based remote access without subscription.
• NDAA & FCC Compliant: Meets federal procurement requirements for defense and sensitive infrastructure deployments, ensuring supply chain and security compliance.
• Max 40-Channel Simultaneous Playback: Local 16-channel and remote 8-channel per user playback capability supports up to four concurrent users, enabling multi-operator investigation and training scenarios.

Hanwha QRN-1630S Integration & Compatibility

The QRN-1630S implements ONVIF and SUNAPI protocol support, ensuring compatibility with third-party ONVIF-compliant cameras from other manufacturers and integration with enterprise VMS platforms. P2P service with QR code provisioning simplifies zero-touch deployment; Wisenet Mobile app (iOS/Android) and free Wisenet Viewer software provide remote access and playback across managed and unmanaged networks. Local monitor output supports Clone Mode (mirrored display on both HDMI outputs) and Expand Mode (dynamic multi-screen layouts), enabling flexible control room and secondary display configurations. Event triggering includes alarm input, video loss detection, and camera events (sensor, motion detection, video analytics, defocus, audio), with corresponding actions including email alerts, event push notifications, PTZ preset activation, alarm output signaling, FTP backup, and SUNAPI command integration.
