Hanwha XRN-1620B2 16-Channel 8K NVR with 12TB Storage
The Hanwha XRN-1620B2 is an Intel-based 16-channel network video recorder engineered for enterprise and mid-market surveillance deployments requiring high-resolution, bandwidth-efficient recording. Supporting up to 32MP camera resolution with H.265 compression and 140 Mbps recording bandwidth, this NVR delivers exceptional flexibility for mixed-resolution camera environments while optimizing storage utilization through intelligent compression technologies.
Key Features
- 16-channel network camera input with SUNAPI and ONVIF protocol support
- Up to 32MP maximum recording resolution (CIF to 32MP range)
- 140 Mbps maximum recording bandwidth for high-throughput deployments
- H.265, H.264, and MJPEG compression formats
- Dual-stream recording with flexible scheduling (continuous, event-triggered, pre/post-event)
- WiseStream technology for intelligent bandwidth optimization
- 12TB internal storage capacity (expandable to 80TB with 8 SATA HDDs)
- Dual-monitor output: HDMI and VGA support
- Up to 64 simultaneous playback channels (16 local + 16 per remote user)
- 32 Mbps maximum playback bandwidth
Display and Interface Capabilities
The XRN-1620B2 provides comprehensive visualization options with dual monitor outputs supporting HDMI and VGA in FHD clone mode, plus single HDMI UHD display capability. The intuitive web-based UI 2.0 requires no plugin installation and supports multiple layout configurations including 1, 2H, 2V, 3V, 4, 6, 8, and 9 channel divisions. Fisheye dewarping functionality is available on both the web interface and CMS for resolutions ranging from CIF to 32MP, enhancing visibility in wide-angle camera installations.
Storage and Redundancy
The system accommodates up to 8 internal SATA HDDs with maximum 80TB total capacity, providing scalable storage for extended retention requirements. Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB) functionality ensures critical footage protection and system reliability in mission-critical surveillance applications.
Performance and Connectivity
With Intel-based processing and embedded Linux architecture, the XRN-1620B2 delivers stable, reliable performance across enterprise deployments. The recorder supports concurrent local and remote access with independent user management, making it suitable for distributed monitoring across multiple sites or departments.
Ted PerryPerspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.
The XRN-1620B2 represents a solid mid-to-enterprise class NVR solution balancing resolution capability with bandwidth efficiency. The 140 Mbps recording bandwidth and H.265 support are particularly valuable for organizations deploying high-megapixel cameras while managing infrastructure costs. The 12TB configuration provides approximately 4-6 weeks of storage for typical 16-channel deployments at standard resolution, though this will vary based on codec selection and frame rate settings.
The dual-stream capability combined with flexible scheduling enables efficient use of network resources and storage, critical in bandwidth-constrained environments. For integrators and IT teams, the ONVIF compliance and web-based management interface reduce deployment complexity and vendor lock-in risk compared to proprietary NVR solutions.
