Hanwha XRN-420S-2TB 4CH Network Video Recorder

Hanwha XRN-420S-2TB Overview

The Hanwha XRN-420S-2TB is a compact 4-channel network video recorder engineered for small-to-medium deployments requiring reliable 8MP recording and efficient bandwidth management. This Intel-based NVR delivers professional-grade surveillance with up to 50 Mbps recording bandwidth, integrated PoE power delivery across four ports, and native support for H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codecs. Designed for security integrators and IT managers, it combines local storage capacity up to 6TB with mobile accessibility via QR code pairing and P2P service.

Hanwha XRN-420S-2TB Key Features

• 4-Channel 8MP Network Camera Support — Accommodates up to 4 IP cameras at 8MP resolution (CIF to 8MP range), enabling high-detail surveillance without overprovisioning hardware.
• 50 Mbps Recording Bandwidth with Dual-Stream Capability — Records at up to 50 Mbps with simultaneous dual-stream encoding, allowing adaptive bitrate management and redundant archival without sacrificing frame rate or resolution.
• H.265/H.264/MJPEG Compression — Supports three industry-standard codecs, enabling efficient storage utilization with H.265 and flexible compatibility with legacy MJPEG workflows.
• Integrated 4-Port PoE Injector — Built-in PoE power delivery (802.3at PoE+) with 50W total budget across four 10/100 LAN ports, eliminating the need for external injectors in compact installations.
• 32 Mbps Playback Bandwidth with Local and Remote Streaming — Supports up to 4 concurrent local playback streams and up to 4 remote streams per user (maximum 3 remote users), enabling multi-operator investigation and live monitoring.
• 2TB Pre-Installed Storage with 6TB Maximum Expansion — Includes 1 SATA HDD bay (maximum 6TB single drive), shipping with 2TB standard and allowing future capacity upgrades without system redesign.
• Intelligent Event Management and Dual-Stream Recording — Offers Normal, Dual-Stream, Schedule, and Event-based recording modes with Pre/Post event capture, bookmark functionality, alarm inputs, video loss detection, and camera event triggers (sensor, motion detection, video analytics, defocus, audio).
• AI Search for Wisenet AI Cameras — When paired with compatible Wisenet AI cameras, delivers Object Attribute search capabilities for rapid forensic investigation and threat identification.
• Dual Local Display Output (HDMI/VGA) — Native support for HDMI and VGA monitors with multi-screen layout options (1/2V/2H/3V/4 display modes) and local playback at up to 8M resolution (30fps), 1080p (120fps), 720p (120fps), or D1 (120fps).
• Embedded Linux Operating System — Purpose-built NVR OS ensures stability, reduced attack surface, and native SUNAPI and ONVIF protocol support for seamless third-party integration.
• Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB) and P2P Connectivity — ARB simplifies disaster recovery workflows; QR code-based P2P service enables instant mobile app access without DNS or port-forwarding configuration.
• Event Notification and Control Actions — Generates e-mail and event push notifications, triggers PTZ presets, activates alarm outputs, and sounds buzzer alerts in response to motion, sensor input, or video loss events.

Hanwha XRN-420S-2TB Integration & Compatibility

The XRN-420S-2TB implements SUNAPI and ONVIF protocols for standard VMS interoperability. Dual Gigabit network interfaces (4×10/100 PoE LAN + 1×Gigabit WAN) enable flexible deployment topologies, from direct camera connection to managed enterprise networks. Support for up to 4 concurrent local and 3 remote users (4 simultaneous streams per user, maximum 16 channels total) accommodates multi-operator security centers and distributed monitoring. Fisheye dewarping via CMS integration is supported for compatible panoramic cameras. Embedded Linux eliminates external licensing dependencies and simplifies firmware maintenance across distributed installations.
