Hanwha XRN-426S-1T 4-Channel NVR Recorder

The Hanwha XRN-426S-1T is a compact 4-channel network video recorder engineered for small-to-medium security deployments requiring integrated PoE power distribution and local storage. Combining enterprise-grade recording capabilities with streamlined installation, this NVR is ideal for security integrators and IT managers deploying standardized surveillance infrastructure across multiple locations.

Key Features

• 4-Channel PoE+ Recording: Integrated PoE+ ports (802.3at) eliminate the need for external power injectors, delivering simultaneous camera connection and power delivery in compact deployments
• 8MP Maximum Resolution: Supports up to 4 IP cameras at 8MP resolution with 30 fps frame rate for high-detail footage capture and playback
• H.265 Video Compression: Advanced H.265 codec optimization reduces bandwidth and storage consumption while maintaining image quality
• 1TB Storage Capacity: Pre-installed local storage provides instant-access recording with superior reliability and faster retrieval compared to traditional media
• Two-Way Audio Support: Integrated audio communication enables remote monitoring and two-way talk-back functionality
• Wall and Pole Mounting: Flexible installation options support both wall-mounted and pole-mounted deployments

Technical Specifications

• Format: 4-Channel NVR with PoE+ power integration
• Camera Compatibility: PoE IP cameras up to 8MP resolution
• Video Codec: H.265 with backward compatibility for H.264 and MJPEG
• Frame Rate: 30 fps simultaneous recording across all channels
• Power Supply: PoE+ (802.3at) - no external power adapter required
• Storage: microSD expandable storage with 1TB capacity
• VMS Compatibility: ONVIF, SUNAPI, and Wisenet Viewer support for cross-platform integration
• Analytics: AI Search capability with Wisenet AI cameras for intelligent video retrieval

Applications

The XRN-426S-1T is suited for retail environments, small offices, building entrances, and facility access points where compact form factor and integrated PoE power delivery reduce installation complexity. The AI Search analytics enable rapid video retrieval on Wisenet AI cameras, improving incident response times in security-sensitive deployments.

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

This NVR's integrated PoE+ architecture eliminates the separate power infrastructure required by traditional recorders, reducing cable runs and installation labor for 4-camera systems. The H.265 codec provides 30-50% bandwidth savings versus H.264, critical in environments with limited network capacity. Wisenet AI Search integration allows operators to query video by object type (person, vehicle, loitering) rather than timeline scrubbing—a significant productivity gain in post-incident investigations.

The microSD expandable storage design balances local capacity with modularity for field upgrades. ONVIF and SUNAPI compatibility ensure this NVR integrates with third-party IP cameras beyond Hanwha's ecosystem, though full AI analytics require Wisenet AI cameras. Suitable for integrators managing multi-site deployments where standardized hardware reduces training and spare parts overhead.
