Hanwha WRN-1632S-24TB 32-Channel PoE NVR
The Hanwha WRN-1632S-24TB is a 2U rackmount network video recorder engineered for medium-to-large enterprise IP surveillance deployments. Built on Intel architecture and pre-loaded with Wisenet WAVE software, this edge NVR consolidates video recording, PoE power delivery, and AI-driven analytics into a single integrated platform. With support for 32 simultaneous channels, 24TB of pre-configured storage (expandable to 40TB), and 250 Mbps recording throughput, the WRN-1632S-24TB eliminates infrastructure complexity while delivering enterprise-grade reliability and retention capacity.
Key Features
- 32-Channel IP Camera Support – Independent stream management with H.264, H.265, and MJPEG decompression for multi-codec live view and playback across heterogeneous camera environments
- Integrated PoE Power Delivery – 16 RJ-45 PoE/PoE+ ports with 200W total power budget, supporting up to 95.3W per port for power-hungry cameras and edge devices without external PoE injectors
- High-Capacity Storage – 24TB usable storage pre-installed with expandability up to 40TB via four internal SATA HDD slots (10TB drives supported), enabling flexible retention periods for high-throughput deployments
- 250 Mbps Recording Throughput – Simultaneous capture from all 32 channels without bottlenecking, critical for multi-sensor and high-resolution mixed-codec environments
- AI-Powered Analytics – AI metadata support integrated into Wisenet WAVE for intelligent event detection and search without external processors
- Distributed Monitoring – Wave client, mobile app, and Cloud Sync capabilities for remote access and cloud integration across distributed locations
- Audio Support – Audio output capability for comprehensive multimedia surveillance
- Rack-Optimized Form Factor – 2U rackmount design for seamless data center and network closet integration
Technical Specifications
- Video Compression: H.265 (with H.264 and MJPEG support)
- Storage Capacity: 24TB (pre-configured); up to 40TB total
- Power Type: PoE+ with 200W total budget
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to +40°C (32°F to 104°F)
- VMS Compatibility: Wisenet WAVE, Wave client, Mobile app, Cloud Sync

The WRN-1632S-24TB represents Hanwha's enterprise-class edge recording strategy, combining 32-channel capacity with onboard PoE delivery to minimize sprawling infrastructure. The 250 Mbps throughput ensures no loss of frame rate across channels, even with 4K streams from modern IP cameras. H.265 compression is critical for storage efficiency at this scale; 40TB capacity supports longer retention windows than comparable H.264-only systems.
Integration with Wisenet WAVE and native cloud sync addresses modern hybrid surveillance architectures, while AI metadata support enables object detection and forensic search without external GPU appliances. The 200W PoE budget is moderate for 32 channels but sufficient for standard 5MP–8MP cameras; administrators should verify port-by-port power allocation for high-end thermal or PTZ cameras. Rack-mount form factor and 0–40°C operating range position this unit for stable data center or secured network closet deployment.
