Hanwha PRN-6400DB4 64-Channel 8K NVR 104TB
The Hanwha PRN-6400DB4 is an Intel-based 64-channel 8K NVR designed for large-scale surveillance deployments requiring high-bandwidth recording, multi-codec flexibility, and mission-critical reliability. With 104TB raw storage capacity, distributed recording up to 400 Mbps, and license-free operation, this platform delivers enterprise-grade performance for federal, commercial, and critical infrastructure security integrations. NDAA and FCC compliance ensures suitability for sensitive government and regulated environments.
Key Features
- 64 network camera channels supporting up to 32MP recording resolution
- 400 Mbps distributed recording mode; 150 Mbps normal mode; 320 Mbps during RAID degradation
- 104TB raw capacity with up to 16 internal SATA HDDs (10TB maximum per drive)
- H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codec support with WiseStream compression optimization
- Dual-stream recording with schedule-based and event-triggered modes (pre/post event)
- RAID 5 & 6 with Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB) for critical footage protection
- Dual HDMI display output: 4K at 30Hz + Full HD at 60Hz
- Up to 64-division multi-screen layouts in clone mode; 36 divisions on HDMI 1 (expand mode)
- Playback bandwidth: 64 Mbps aggregate or 32 Mbps per individual stream
- License-free recording and NDAA/FCC compliance
Technical Specifications
Recording & Storage: This configuration delivers 104TB raw capacity across up to 16 SATA drives, supporting simultaneous multi-stream recording from all 64 channels. The intelligent RAID architecture maintains recording integrity during drive failures and rebuild cycles, with ARB safeguarding critical footage to prevent loss during system events.
Compression & Codecs: Native support for H.265, H.264, and MJPEG ensures compatibility with diverse camera deployments. WiseStream technology optimizes bandwidth efficiency in both H.265 and H.264 modes, reducing storage demands without sacrificing image quality.
Display & Interface: Dual HDMI outputs enable simultaneous 4K monitoring and auxiliary display configurations. Multi-screen layouts support up to 64 camera divisions, providing flexible control room and monitoring room setups.
Applications
- Federal and government security infrastructure requiring NDAA compliance
- Large commercial campuses and multi-site enterprises
- Transportation hubs, utilities, and critical infrastructure facilities
- Data centers and server farms with high-capacity archival requirements
- Distributed deployments requiring centralized 64-channel management

The PRN-6400DB4 addresses enterprise-scale surveillance where channel density and storage capacity directly impact operational cost and compliance. The 400 Mbps distributed mode enables simultaneous 4K and 8K streams across the full 64-channel capacity—critical for organizations unable to sacrifice frame rate or resolution during peak activity. RAID 5/6 with ARB reflects Hanwha's understanding that mission-critical footage recovery often matters more than drive redundancy alone.
The Intel platform provides stability in heterogeneous network environments, while H.265 support delivers 40-50% storage efficiency gains versus H.264 at equivalent quality. License-free recording and NDAA compliance remove operational friction for government and defense integrators. WiseStream compression further extends storage life without transcoding overhead.
