Hanwha QRN-1630S-2TB 16CH NVR 2TB with PoE

The Hanwha QRN-1630S-2TB is a 16-channel network video recorder purpose-built for mid-scale enterprise and integrator deployments. This unified appliance combines camera power delivery, video recording, and local display into a single device, eliminating the need for external PoE injectors and reducing installation complexity across 16 simultaneous camera channels.

Key Features

• 16-Channel 8MP Recording: Supports up to 16 network cameras at 8MP resolution with maximum 128Mbps aggregate bandwidth. H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codec support provides flexible compression options for storage efficiency and system compatibility.
• Integrated 16-Port PoE Power: All 16 camera ports deliver 802.3af PoE power with 130W total budget, enabling direct camera connections without additional injectors or separate power supplies.
• Dual-Stream Recording: Simultaneous primary and secondary stream recording per camera allows high-quality archival storage alongside lower-bitrate real-time transmission and mobile playback.
• Dual HDMI Display Outputs: HDMI1 supports 4K display at 3840×2160 (30Hz) for primary monitoring; HDMI2 outputs 1920×1080 (60Hz). Clone mode and expand mode with dynamic layout options support flexible multi-monitor deployments.
• Expandable Storage: Dual internal SATA drive slots support up to 10TB per drive for 20TB maximum capacity; 2TB pre-installed for immediate deployment.

Technical Specifications

• Resolution: 8MP maximum; supports down to CIF for legacy camera compatibility
• Video Compression: H.265 (primary), H.264, MJPEG
• PoE Standard: 802.3af with 130W aggregate budget
• Display Outputs: HDMI 4K (3840×2160@30Hz), HDMI 1080p (1920×1080@60Hz)
• Storage: 2TB included; expandable to 20TB total

Applications

Ideal for retail locations, office campuses, light industrial facilities, and system integrator deployments requiring self-contained 16-camera surveillance without external power infrastructure. The 130W PoE budget accommodates most standard IP cameras; integrators should verify individual camera power requirements.

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

The QRN-1630S-2TB delivers practical value for mid-market deployments by consolidating power delivery and recording into a single unit. H.265 codec support reduces storage footprint by approximately 50% versus H.264 at equivalent quality, extending recording duration on fixed drives. The 130W PoE budget is sufficient for standard 95W cameras but may require careful power budgeting with higher-draw models or maximum channel density.

Dual HDMI outputs with independent resolution control support mixed-quality monitoring strategies—4K primary display for security operations and 1080p secondary output for general awareness displays. Pre-installed 2TB storage reduces deployment time, though capacity planning should account for retention requirements based on 8MP bitrate and codec selection. Hanwha's industrial-grade build quality makes this suitable for 24/7 deployments in moderate environmental conditions.
