Hanwha XRN-1620SB1 16-Channel 8K Intel NVR with 16TB Storage
The Hanwha XRN-1620SB1 is an enterprise-grade 16-channel network video recorder purpose-built for integrators and IT managers requiring integrated PoE power delivery, high-resolution recording, and scalable storage. This Intel-based platform combines 32MP recording capability, 140Mbps bandwidth, and built-in PoE+ power distribution—eliminating the need for external power infrastructure on smaller deployments.
Key Features
- 16 network camera inputs with integrated PoE+ ports (200W total budget)
- 32MP recording resolution at up to 15fps using H.265 compression
- 140Mbps maximum recording bandwidth; 32Mbps playback capability
- Flexible codec support: H.265, H.264, and MJPEG with WiseStream technology
- Dual-stream recording mode for optimized bitrate management
- 16TB raw HDD included; expandable to 24TB (4 internal SATA bays, 6TB max per drive)
- Web UI 2.0 (plugin-free) and local dual-display output (HDMI/VGA)
- ONVIF and SUNAPI protocol support for cross-vendor integration
- N+1 failover and Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB)
- Up to 4 simultaneous users: 3 remote, 1 local
Recording & Display Capabilities
The XRN-1620SB1 handles demanding surveillance workloads with 32MP sensor support and adaptive H.265 compression, reducing storage overhead while preserving image quality. Multi-window display modes include 16-division clone mode and 9-division expand mode on local monitors. Dual-stream recording enables independent bitrate profiles for local storage and remote viewing, optimizing bandwidth utilization across network segments.
Storage & Redundancy
Preconfigured with 16TB capacity and supporting up to 24TB total, the NVR provides flexible scaling for medium to large installations. Built-in N+1 failover and ARB functionality ensure continuous recording during device maintenance or failure, critical for compliance-driven deployments.
Network Integration
ONVIF and SUNAPI protocol compliance enables seamless integration with third-party IP cameras and management systems. Plugin-free web access via UI 2.0 reduces client-side security risks and simplifies remote monitoring from any standard browser.

The XRN-1620SB1 addresses the architectural gap between cost-sensitive deployments and high-density surveillance. Its integrated PoE+ budget (200W) accommodates up to 16 mid-power cameras, eliminating separate PSU purchases for compact installations. The 140Mbps throughput and dual-stream architecture suit hybrid deployments mixing high-bitrate local recording with compressed remote streams.
H.265 codec support is essential for 32MP workloads, reducing storage costs by 40–50% versus H.264. Intel-based architecture ensures robust third-party software compatibility, a key advantage for custom VMS integration. The N+1 redundancy model suits critical infrastructure where downtime triggers regulatory penalties.
