Hanwha WRN-1632 Overview
The Hanwha WRN-1632 is a 2U edge WAVE NVR designed for mid-to-large deployments requiring high-capacity, efficient video recording. Built on embedded Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with an Intel quad-core processor, this Intel-based NVR delivers 250 Mbps recording throughput and supports up to 32 channels, making it suitable for enterprise surveillance installations where consolidated recording and AI-driven analytics are critical. The WRN-1632 comes pre-loaded with Wisenet WAVE software and four Professional licenses, enabling rapid deployment without additional software licensing.
Hanwha WRN-1632 Key Features
- 32-Channel Capacity with 250 Mbps Throughput: Records from up to 32 IP cameras simultaneously at 250 Mbps maximum bandwidth, supporting high-resolution and multi-stream configurations typical in large campus or facility deployments.
- Flexible Storage Architecture: Four internal SATA HDD slots accommodating drives up to 10TB each, delivering up to 40TB maximum internal storage capacity. The 12TB model ships with pre-installed drives optimized for continuous recording workloads.
- Advanced Compression Support: Native support for H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codecs, with Wisestream technology enabling bandwidth optimization without sacrificing recording quality—critical for high-channel-count systems operating on constrained network segments.
- AI Metadata Capability: Supports AI metadata ingestion from Wisenet cameras, enabling metadata-driven queries, intelligent search, and analytics workflows without requiring separate edge processing appliances.
- Dual Gigabit Network Interface: Two 1 Gbps RJ-45 ports (WAN and LAN) provide network redundancy and segmentation options, allowing cameras to be isolated from management traffic or failover paths to be established in critical deployments.
- Local Display and Configuration: HDMI and DisplayPort outputs support direct monitor connection for configuration, basic monitoring, and maintenance tasks without requiring network access—essential for commissioning and troubleshooting in network-restricted environments.
- Embedded Linux OS with LTS Support: Runs Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, providing long-term security updates and stability for installations with multi-year operational requirements. Quad-core CPU with 8GB DDR4 RAM ensures responsive performance under sustained recording loads.
- Wisenet WAVE Platform Integration: Pre-installed WAVE client support enables cloud synchronization, mobile remote viewing via authenticated apps, and cross-device management from centralized dashboards—standard in modern Hanwha deployments.
- Professional Licensing Included: Four Professional licenses bundled, allowing immediate deployment and feature access without separate licensing procurement; additional licenses available for expansion.
- Rack-Mount Ready: 2U form factor with included rack-mount brackets and USB mouse for lab, data center, or server room installations where space and cable management are standardized.
Hanwha WRN-1632 Integration & Compatibility
The WRN-1632 supports Wisenet WAVE client software, mobile applications, and Cloud Sync, enabling multi-platform remote access and event-driven alerting. ONVIF compatibility ensures interoperability with third-party IP cameras, and the embedded NVR architecture supports standard surveillance VMS platforms through direct IP connectivity. Dual GbE NICs provide flexible network integration, allowing separation of camera and management traffic. Front and rear USB ports (USB 2.0 front, USB 3.0 rear) support external backup devices, keyboard/mouse peripherals, and accessories typical in security integrator deployments. The system operates within 0°C to 40°C and 20–85% relative humidity, suitable for climate-controlled server rooms and equipment closets.
