Hanwha QRN-1630S-8TB 16CH NVR 8TB with 16 PoE Ports (POE Budget

Hanwha QRN-1630S Overview

The Hanwha QRN-1630S is a 16-channel network video recorder designed for mid-to-large scale IP surveillance deployments requiring centralized recording, decode, and playback from networked cameras. This model supports up to 8 megapixel resolution across all channels, integrates 16 integrated PoE ports with 130W power budget for simplified camera connectivity, and provides dual HDMI outputs with full 4K decode capability for local monitoring. The QRN-1630S is purpose-built for security integrators and IT teams deploying mixed-resolution camera systems where flexible codec support, reliable edge recording recovery, and straightforward P2P remote access are operational priorities.

Hanwha QRN-1630S Key Features

• 16-Channel 8MP Input Capacity — accepts up to 16 networked cameras at up to 8 megapixel resolution (8MP through CIF), supporting heterogeneous camera deployments with mixed resolutions and vendors.
• Integrated 16-Port PoE Injection — built-in 802.3af PoE with 130W total budget eliminates requirement for external midspan injectors on smaller installations, reducing cabling and power complexity at the rack.
• 128 Mbps Recording Bandwidth — sustains simultaneous recording from all 16 channels at full bandwidth, enabling high-quality capture across large channel counts without encoding bottlenecks.
• Multi-Codec Support (H.265, H.264, MJPEG) — flexible compression codec support allows interoperability with legacy MJPEG and H.264 cameras while leveraging H.265 efficiency gains on newer devices, with Dual Stream recording mode for simultaneous local and remote quality optimization.
• Dual 4K HDMI Outputs with Independent Display — HDMI1 delivers full 3840x2160 (4K) display at 30 Hz for primary monitoring wall, while HDMI2 provides 1920x1080 (60 Hz) output for secondary displays or remote operator stations; local decode supports up to 8MP at 60 fps, 1080p at 240 fps, 720p at 480 fps.
• Large Internal Storage (Up to 20TB) — two SATA bays accommodate hard drives up to 10TB each (maximum 20TB total), providing extended retention for high-channel, high-resolution recording without requiring external NAS.
• Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB) / Edge Recording Retrieval — recovers video from camera edge storage or network buffering when NVR recording is interrupted, ensuring continuous audit trail recovery and minimizing gaps in critical footage.
• 4 Alarm Inputs / 2 Alarm Outputs + Audio — integrated alarm I/O (4 input / 2 output) with RCA audio output supports sensor integration, relay-driven devices, and audio alerting without requiring external I/O cards.
• P2P with QR Code Quick Connect — zero-configuration P2P service via QR code scanning reduces setup overhead; compatible with Wisenet Mobile App (iOS/Android) and free Wisenet Viewer software for remote playback and live viewing.
• Embedded Linux Operating System — purpose-built embedded OS eliminates OS patching overhead and ensures deterministic recording performance independent of desktop software update cycles.
• NDAA and FCC Compliance — certified for federal procurement and U.S. market deployment, meeting national defense and communications regulatory requirements.

Hanwha QRN-1630S Integration & Compatibility

The QRN-1630S implements SUNAPI and ONVIF protocols, enabling integration with third-party VMS platforms and IP camera management software that support standard profiles. Remote playback supports a maximum of 32 Mbps bandwidth and up to 40 simultaneous channels (16 local, 8 per remote user across 4 concurrent users), facilitating distributed operator access without requiring separate licensing. Fisheye dewarping is supported at playback resolution CIF through 8MP, enabling post-incident analysis of panoramic and ultra-wide-angle cameras. Event-driven recording and playback is triggered by alarm inputs, video loss detection, camera-embedded events (sensor, motion detection, video analytics, defocus, audio events), dynamic events, and user-defined triggers; event actions include email notification, event push alerts, PTZ presets, alarm relay activation, buzzer control, monitor output switching, FTP upload, and SUNAPI command execution.
