Hanwha WRN-1632 2U Wisenet WAVE NVR

Hanwha WRN-1632 2U Wisenet WAVE NVR

The Hanwha WRN-1632 is a 2U rack-mounted 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 ideal for small-to-medium enterprise and integrator installations requiring centralized video management, AI metadata processing, and flexible storage expansion.

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 ideal for mixed-resolution HD and 4K camera deployments with efficient H.265 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.
• H.265 Video Compression — Native H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codec support with Wisestream technology for bandwidth and storage optimization across heterogeneous camera environments.
• AI Metadata Support — Integrated analytics framework enables AI-driven metadata processing for advanced object detection, classification, and search capabilities within the Wisenet WAVE ecosystem.
• Audio Output — Built-in audio support for two-way communication and event-triggered audio alerts across connected devices.

The WRN-1632 delivers enterprise-grade reliability with a balance of performance and scalability. The 32-channel capacity and 250 Mbps throughput support diverse deployment scenarios without overprovisioning. H.265 compression is critical for modern surveillance; the native codec support ensures efficient storage utilization and reduced bandwidth consumption—especially valuable in multi-site environments where WAN bandwidth is limited.

AI metadata integration within Wisenet WAVE positions this NVR for intelligent operations: pattern recognition, perimeter breach detection, and advanced search reduce manual review time. The rack-mount form factor and hot-swappable storage design are essential for data center and integrator deployments requiring minimal downtime during maintenance.

Dual Gigabit Ethernet NICs provide network redundancy and traffic isolation, while ONVIF compatibility ensures camera interoperability beyond Hanwha's ecosystem. For organizations standardizing on Wisenet WAVE, this NVR is a proven backbone for scalable, AI-ready surveillance infrastructure.
