Hanwha XRN-1620B2 16-Channel 8K NVR with 24TB Storage
The Hanwha XRN-1620B2-24TB is an enterprise-grade Intel-based network video recorder designed for large-scale surveillance deployments requiring high-resolution capture and extended storage. This 16-channel NVR supports up to 32MP camera input, delivers 140 Mbps aggregate recording bandwidth, and ships pre-configured with 24TB raw storage capacity across eight fixed internal SATA drives, making it ideal for organizations prioritizing retention depth and multi-camera scalability.
Key Features
- 16-channel network video recorder with Intel processor architecture
- Support for cameras up to 32 megapixels; CIF to 4K scalable recording
- 24TB raw storage via 8 internal SATA HDDs (up to 10TB per drive)
- 140 Mbps maximum recording bandwidth; 32 Mbps playback capability
- H.265, H.264, and MJPEG compression codec support
- Dual-stream recording for simultaneous high-resolution capture and network transmission
- Dual monitor output: HDMI and VGA for FHD clone mode or single HDMI for UHD display
- Dynamic multi-screen layouts up to 16 local divisions and 9 web divisions
- WiseStream technology for bandwidth and storage optimization
Recording & Display Capabilities
The XRN-1620B2 combines flexible encoding options with robust output functionality. H.265 compression significantly reduces file sizes compared to H.264 while maintaining image quality, extending storage life without sacrificing detail. The dual-stream architecture enables simultaneous high-resolution local recording and lower-bandwidth network transmission for remote access. Dual monitor support accommodates both legacy VGA and modern HDMI configurations, while dynamic layout options allow operators to customize display configurations from 1 to 16 camera views.
Intelligent Search & Event Management
Built-in AI metadata search integrates with Wisenet AI cameras for fast content retrieval without exhaustive timeline scrubbing. Comprehensive event triggering supports alarm inputs, video loss detection, motion detection, sensor inputs, defocus alerts, and custom user-defined rules. Automated event actions include email notifications, event push alerts, PTZ presets, alarm outputs, and monitor display routing, enabling rapid response to critical incidents.
Applications
The XRN-1620B2-24TB is suited for enterprise campuses, retail chains, transportation hubs, critical infrastructure facilities, and multi-location organizations requiring centralized high-resolution recording with extended archival capability and intelligent search functionality.

The XRN-1620B2 represents a strong fit for deployments where resolution depth and storage capacity take priority. The 24TB configuration provides substantial retention for 16 high-megapixel streams; actual retention depends on selected resolution, compression, and motion triggers. WiseStream technology is particularly valuable in mixed-resolution environments where bandwidth optimization can extend storage without hardware upgrade.
The Intel platform ensures stable performance during simultaneous recording, playback, and remote access. Organizations should verify network infrastructure supports 140 Mbps aggregate throughput and plan storage expansion via compatible SATA drives as retention policies evolve.
