Hanwha PRN-3200B2 32-Channel NVR 8K 32MP
The Hanwha PRN-3200B2 is an enterprise-grade 32-channel NVR built on Intel architecture for large-scale surveillance deployments requiring ultra-high resolution recording and AI-powered analytics. Supporting up to 8K (32MP) resolution with 400 Mbps recording bandwidth in distributed mode, this system delivers the performance and reliability demanded by government agencies, critical infrastructure, and large enterprise installations. License-free recording, advanced AI search capabilities, and NDAA compliance make it an ideal choice for security-conscious organizations.
Key Features
- 32-channel capacity with support for up to 8K (32MP) resolution
- 400 Mbps recording bandwidth in distributed mode (150 Mbps standard, 320 Mbps during RAID operations)
- H.265, H.264, MJPEG, and WiseStream compression support for flexible bandwidth management
- Integrated AI search with Best Shot selection, object detection, and license plate recognition
- Dual-stream recording and schedule-based recording modes for multi-resolution simultaneous capture
- RAID 5 and RAID 6 data protection with Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB)
- License-free recording and NDAA-compliant architecture
- Support for Wisenet AI cameras and select Hanwha P, X, and Q series cameras
Recording and Storage Performance
The PRN-3200B2 accommodates up to 8 internal SATA HDDs with maximum capacity of 10TB per drive, enabling flexible storage scaling from 80TB to 80TB raw capacity. The 16TB model provides substantial recording duration for high-resolution, long-term retention deployments. Dual-stream recording allows simultaneous capture of multiple resolutions—ideal for balancing local storage efficiency with remote transmission requirements. Automatic Recovery Backup ensures business continuity during hardware failures, while RAID 5 and RAID 6 configurations provide enterprise-grade redundancy. Playback performance reaches 64 Mbps in RAID mode, supporting rapid evidence retrieval and investigation workflows.
AI Search and Analytics
Integrated AI search capabilities extend across Wisenet AI cameras and compatible Hanwha P, X, and Q series models, enabling attribute-based search, object detection, classification, and license plate detection with searchable results. These features streamline investigation processes and reduce manual review time, particularly valuable in high-traffic environments requiring post-event analysis.
Applications
- Government and federal agency surveillance
- Transportation hubs and critical infrastructure
- Large enterprise campuses and data centers
- Airports, ports, and border security
- Multi-site integrator deployments requiring centralized management

The PRN-3200B2 targets integrators managing complex, large-scale surveillance ecosystems where resolution, bandwidth, and data integrity cannot be compromised. The 400 Mbps distributed-mode bandwidth accommodates 32 cameras at maximum resolution without bottlenecking, a critical advantage over bandwidth-limited competitors. RAID degradation performance (320 Mbps) ensures recording continuity during drive failures—essential for mission-critical environments.
H.265 compression with WiseStream support maximizes storage efficiency without sacrificing image quality, reducing TCO across multi-year deployments. NDAA compliance and license-free operation eliminate compliance friction in government sales. The integrated AI search justifies premium positioning by reducing investigative overhead; attribute-based and object-level search capabilities deliver measurable ROI in high-volume incident environments.
