Hanwha QRN-1630S-4TB 16CH NVR 4TB with 16 PoE Ports (POE Budget

Hanwha QRN-1630S Overview

The Hanwha QRN-1630S is a 16-channel PoE-powered network video recorder designed for mid-scale IP surveillance deployments. This NVR integrates recording, storage, and PoE power delivery into a single appliance, eliminating the need for separate PoE injectors or switches and simplifying on-site installation. The QRN-1630S supports 8 megapixel cameras, delivers 128 Mbps aggregate recording bandwidth, and includes dual HDMI outputs for simultaneous local monitoring at 4K and 1080p resolutions. With built-in edge recording recovery (Automatic Recovery Backup), remote access via QR code pairing, and NDAA/FCC compliance, it addresses the core requirements of security integrators deploying standards-based IP surveillance in enterprise and institutional environments.

Hanwha QRN-1630S Key Features

• 16-Channel PoE Input with Integrated Power Delivery: All 16 channels receive power via 802.3af PoE from a single 130W PoE budget, eliminating external injectors and reducing cable runs and installation labor on typical small-to-mid deployments.
• Up to 8 Megapixel Camera Support: Accommodates current-generation 8MP (3840×2160) IP cameras at CIF to 8MP resolution across all 16 channels, providing sufficient image detail for facial recognition and license plate capture in professional surveillance applications.
• 128 Mbps Network Recording Bandwidth: Sustains simultaneous recording from all 16 channels at up to 128 Mbps aggregate throughput, supporting dual-stream recording (main and sub-stream) for balanced storage efficiency and live playback performance.
• Dual-Stream and Flexible Recording Modes: Supports Normal, Dual Stream, Scheduled (Continuous/Event), Event with Pre/Post buffer, and Bookmark modes. Event triggers include Alarm Input, Video Loss, Camera Event (Sensor, Motion Detection, Video Analytics, Defocus, Audio), Dynamic Event, and User Event.
• Triple Codec Support (H.265, H.264, MJPEG): Mixes and matches compression formats across channels—H.265 for bandwidth-constrained links, H.264 for legacy compatibility, MJPEG for motion-heavy analytics—without re-encoding or quality loss.
• 20TB Total Internal Storage (Two 10TB SATA HDDs): Preconfigured with 4TB model option (two SATA slots accommodate up to 10TB per drive, 20TB maximum), providing extended retention windows without external NAS complexity. Supports seamless HDD hot-swap and multi-channel backup to USB or FTP.
• Dual HDMI Local Display with 4K Output: HDMI1 outputs 4K (3840×2160 @ 30Hz) for high-resolution local monitoring on a dedicated display; HDMI2 outputs 1080p (1920×1080 @ 60Hz) for secondary or control-room displays. Supports Clone Mode (synchronized output) and Expand Mode (independent layouts, up to 16-channel division on HDMI2).
• Automatic Recovery Backup (Edge Recording Retrieval): Automatically retrieves and backs up video from connected cameras' edge storage (micro-SD or internal buffers) in the event of network interruption or NVR downtime, preventing loss of critical footage during outages.
• Remote Access via P2P QR Code Pairing: Eliminates complex port forwarding and firewall configuration—scan the NVR's QR code with a mobile device, and the Wisenet Mobile App (iOS/Android) instantly establishes a secure P2P connection for remote live view, playback, and configuration from anywhere.
• Wisenet Viewer and ONVIF Integration: Includes free Wisenet Viewer software for Windows/macOS desktop access; SUNAPI and ONVIF protocol support enables integration with third-party VMS platforms, RESTful API calls, and automation workflows.
• Alarm I/O and Audio Support: Four Alarm Input ports and two Alarm Output ports enable integration with door sensors, sirens, and external relay devices. RCA Audio Output allows integration with speakers or recording devices; supports camera-sourced audio and recording triggers tied to audio events.
• NDAA and FCC Compliance: Certified for U.S. federal procurement under NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) supply chain restrictions and FCC EMC standards, ensuring eligibility for government and institutional bids.

Hanwha QRN-1630S Integration & Compatibility

The QRN-1630S operates on Embedded Linux and communicates via SUNAPI and ONVIF protocols, ensuring interoperability with Milestone, Genetec, Exacq, and other ONVIF-compliant VMS platforms. Supports up to 4 simultaneous local and remote users (1 local, 3 remote) with independent playback streams up to 40 channels total (16 local, 8 per remote user). Advanced search and playback include Calendar Date/Time, Event List, Text Search, and Smart Search functions. Local display decoding supports 8MP @ 60fps, 1080p @ 240fps, and 720p @ 480fps refresh rates for responsive multi-screen operation. Audio compression is supported, though specific codec details are not detailed in the evidence. Firmware updates and remote management are accessible through Wisenet Viewer and P2P connectivity.
