Hanwha QRN-830S 8-Channel PoE Network Video Recorder

Hanwha QRN-830S Overview

The Hanwha QRN-830S is an 8-channel PoE-powered network video recorder engineered for mid-scale IP surveillance deployments. This compact NVR supports up to 8 megapixel camera resolution, delivering professional-grade recording and playback capabilities with integrated PoE power delivery for streamlined installation. The QRN-830S combines flexible codec support, high recording bandwidth, and local 4K display output to meet the demands of integrators and facility managers deploying mixed-resolution camera networks.

Hanwha QRN-830S Key Features

• 8-Channel PoE Powered Recording: Integrated 8 PoE ports with 65W total budget (802.3af) eliminates the need for external power injectors on compact deployments, simplifying wiring and reducing equipment footprint.
• Up to 8 MP Camera Support: Native support for 8 megapixel camera feeds down to CIF resolution, future-proofing the system for higher-resolution sensor upgrades while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy cameras.
• Multi-Codec Flexibility: H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codec support allows seamless integration with diverse camera manufacturers and optimizes bandwidth allocation based on scene complexity and storage requirements.
• 80 Mbps Recording Bandwidth: Maximum network recording bandwidth of 80 Mbps supports simultaneous multi-channel 8MP streams or dual-stream recording modes for redundancy and adaptive quality control.
• Dual Stream Recording: Simultaneous primary and secondary stream recording enables independent quality profiles for live viewing and archival, optimizing both real-time responsiveness and storage efficiency.
• 4K Local Display: HDMI1 output delivers 3840x2160 resolution at 30 Hz for ultra-high-definition local monitoring; HDMI2 provides 1920x1080 at 60 Hz for secondary displays. Dynamic multi-screen layout supports 1, 2H, 2V, 3V, 4, 6, 8, or 9-channel simultaneous viewing.
• 1 TB Fixed Storage (Expandable): Single SATA slot accommodates hard drives up to 6 TB, providing flexible storage scaling from 2 TB base configuration up to maximum capacity. Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB) feature enables edge recording retrieval from cameras in case of network disruption.
• 32 Mbps Playback Bandwidth: Supports rapid multi-channel forensic review and simultaneous playback for up to 4 concurrent users (1 local, 3 remote), each capable of viewing up to 32 channels simultaneously.
• Advanced Search & Playback: Calendar-based date and time search, event list filtering, text search, and SmartSearch functionality accelerate forensic investigations across CIF to 8MP resolution recordings. Fisheye dewarping and CMS integration support specialized deployment scenarios.
• Event-Driven Recording & Alerting: Configurable triggers include alarm inputs, video loss detection, camera events (motion detection, video analytics, defocus, audio detection), dynamic events, and user-defined events. Actions include email notification, event push alerts, PTZ preset execution, alarm output control, buzzer activation, FTP upload, and SUNAPI commands.
• P2P Mobile Access: QR code-based pairing enables rapid remote access via Wisenet Mobile App (iOS/Android) and free Wisenet Viewer software without complex network configuration, supporting field technician monitoring and off-site management.
• ONVIF Standards Compliance: SUNAPI and ONVIF protocol support ensures interoperability with third-party cameras, VMS platforms, and network management tools, reducing vendor lock-in on mixed-brand deployments.

Hanwha QRN-830S Integration & Compatibility

The QRN-830S implements SUNAPI and ONVIF protocols, enabling integration with standards-compliant IP cameras from multiple manufacturers. ONVIF Profile support allows VMS integration and event-driven workflows across Milestone, AXIS Camera Station, and other enterprise platforms. P2P service via QR code pairing simplifies remote access setup without requiring port forwarding or dynamic DNS configuration. Embedded Linux operating system provides stable, long-term performance in 24/7 surveillance environments. The unit supports up to 4 concurrent users (1 local, 3 remote) for distributed team access during investigations or live monitoring scenarios.
