Hanwha WRN-1632 Overview
The Hanwha WRN-1632 is a 2U rack-mounted edge network video recorder purpose-built for professional surveillance deployments. This Intel-based NVR runs Wisenet WAVE software pre-installed and supports up to 32 IP camera channels with 250 Mbps maximum recording throughput, making it suitable for small-to-medium enterprise and integrator installations requiring centralized video management, AI metadata processing, and flexible storage expansion.
Hanwha WRN-1632 Key Features
- 32-Channel IP Camera Support — Accommodates up to 32 concurrent IP camera streams via dual 1 Gbps Ethernet NICs (WAN + LAN), enabling scalable multi-camera deployments without requiring external switching infrastructure for basic configurations.
- 250 Mbps Recording Bandwidth — Supports sustained recording throughput up to 250 Mbps, adequate for mixed-resolution HD and 4K camera deployments with efficient compression enabled.
- Flexible Storage Architecture — Four internal SATA HDD slots (hot-swappable) with support for drives up to 10 TB each, delivering up to 40 TB raw capacity. Allows tiered storage strategies and field upgrades without equipment replacement.
- Multi-Codec Compression — Native H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codec support with Wisestream technology for bandwidth and storage optimization across heterogeneous camera environments.
- Wisenet WAVE Software Pre-Installed — Includes embedded Ubuntu 22.04 LTS operating system with Wisenet WAVE NVR software ready for deployment; supports Wave client software, mobile app, and Cloud Sync for remote monitoring and device management.
- AI Metadata Support — Compatible with Wisenet AI camera metadata (objects, events, behavioral analytics), enabling rule-based alerting and forensic search without additional GPU acceleration hardware.
- Dual Display Output — HDMI and DisplayPort monitor connections support configuration, live monitoring, and playback; USB mouse included for console-based operation and navigation.
- Quad-Core Intel Processor with 8 GB DDR4 RAM — Delivers responsive performance for simultaneous multi-stream decoding, metadata processing, and local client connections without bottlenecking.
- 32 GB eMMC Storage — Internal solid-state storage for operating system, event logs, and configuration data ensures fast boot and reliable forensic event capture independent of HDD status.
- Industrial Operating Temperature Range — Rated 0°C to +40°C (32°F to 104°F), suitable for climate-controlled control rooms, server closets, and equipment shelters without active cooling in temperate environments.
- Low Power Consumption — 80W maximum power draw (100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz ±10%) reduces operational costs and allows flexible UPS integration for redundancy.
- Rack-Mount Form Factor — 2U height (440 × 89.8 × 428.4 mm), includes rack mount brackets and weighs 5.47 kg; integrates into standard 19-inch server racks alongside networking and power distribution equipment.
