Hanwha WRN-816S Overview
The Hanwha WRN-816S is a 1U rack-mount WAVE PoE+ NVR designed for mid-to-large IP surveillance deployments requiring integrated edge recording with on-device power delivery. This Intel-based appliance supports up to 16 camera channels and includes 4 Professional WAVE licenses pre-installed, making it an ideal solution for integrators deploying mixed-sensor systems. The WRN-816S consolidates video ingestion, storage, and PoE power distribution into a single compact unit, reducing infrastructure complexity and total cost of ownership.
Hanwha WRN-816S Key Features
- 16-Channel Network Video Recording: Supports up to 16 IP camera channels via ONVIF-compliant devices, with recording bandwidth up to 150 Mbps for high-frame-rate or multi-megapixel deployments.
- Integrated PoE+ Power Delivery: Eight (8) PoE/PoE+ ports (802.3at) with 100W total budget deliver power and connectivity to edge cameras, eliminating the need for separate midspan injectors on standard deployments.
- Dual Storage Architecture: Two internal SATA HDD slots supporting up to 10TB per drive (20TB maximum total capacity); the WRN-816S-8TB model ships with 8TB raw storage pre-installed, expandable to 20TB for extended retention periods.
- Multi-Codec Support with Wisestream Technology: Records in H.265, H.264, and MJPEG formats; Wisestream intelligent compression reduces bandwidth and storage consumption without sacrificing image quality, critical for bandwidth-constrained or high-channel-count deployments.
- WAVE Platform & AI Metadata Support: Pre-installed Wisenet WAVE software enables Wave client, mobile, and Cloud Sync access; supports AI metadata ingestion from compatible cameras for intelligent event filtering and search capabilities.
- Dual Display Outputs for Flexible Monitoring: One HDMI and one DisplayPort output enable simultaneous configuration and basic monitoring without requiring external video distribution equipment.
- Dual Gigabit Ethernet NICs: Two 1 Gbps network interfaces (WAN) provide redundancy and segmentation capability; eight additional RJ-45 ports serve PoE camera connections (LAN).
- Embedded Ubuntu 22.04 LTS OS: Linux-based operating system with long-term support ensures stability, security patching, and compatibility with standard network tools and third-party integrations.
- Fanless 1U Rackmount Design: Compact 370mm (W) × 50.7mm (H) × 320mm (D) form factor fits standard 19-inch racks; low power consumption (170W typical) and passive cooling reduce operational noise and heat load in server rooms.
- Rich I/O Connectivity: USB 2.0 ports (2 front) and USB 3.0 ports (2 rear) for external backup, firmware updates, and accessory integration; front-panel Power, Network, and HDD status indicators provide at-a-glance system health.
- Industrial Temperature Range: Operating temperature 0°C to +40°C (32°F to 104°F) with 20–85% RH tolerance supports indoor deployments in data centers, server rooms, and climate-controlled security operations centers.
Hanwha WRN-816S Integration & Compatibility
The WRN-816S supports ONVIF-compliant IP cameras, enabling interoperability with thousands of third-party devices across Axis, Hikvision, Dahua, Uniview, and other major brands. Wisenet WAVE software provides native client and mobile management, with Cloud Sync capabilities for remote access and multi-site visibility. Dual Gigabit NICs allow network segmentation; the device integrates into standard IP camera networks without requiring proprietary management platforms. Built-in 32GB eMMC storage preserves system configuration and metadata independently of user-recorded video.
