Hanwha PRN-6400DB4 64-Channel 8K NVR Intel
The Hanwha PRN-6400DB4 is an enterprise-grade 64-channel 8K NVR purpose-built for large-scale surveillance deployments. This Intel-based platform combines distributed recording architecture, native H.265 compression, and integrated AI search capabilities to deliver scalable, license-free operation across complex multi-building and large-facility installations.
Key Features
- 64-channel network camera input with license-free recording
- 400 Mbps distributed recording bandwidth; 150 Mbps normal mode
- Up to 24 TB raw storage capacity with configurable SATA HDD support
- 32 MP maximum recording resolution with H.265, H.264, MJPEG, and WiseStream compression
- Dual-stream recording for simultaneous live and archival workflows
- RAID 5 & RAID 6 with Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB)
- Dual HDMI display outputs: 4K at 30Hz and 1080p at 60Hz
- Integrated AI search for compatible Wisenet cameras
Recording & Storage Performance
This NVR supports up to 16 fixed internal SATA HDDs with 10 TB maximum per drive, totaling 24 TB raw capacity. The platform maintains 320 Mbps recording bandwidth even during RAID rebuild operations, ensuring continuous protection without performance degradation. Multi-codec support—H.265, H.264, MJPEG, and WiseStream—provides flexibility across diverse camera ecosystems while optimizing bandwidth and storage efficiency.
Display & Playback Capabilities
Dual display output enables 4K monitoring on HDMI 1 (3840×2160 at 30Hz) and full HD on HDMI 2 (1920×1080 at 60Hz). The NVR supports up to 64 local channels with dynamic multi-screen layouts, virtual channel views, and configurable divisions up to 36 on 4K and 16 on HD displays. Playback bandwidth reaches 64 Mbps maximum, with native support for 32 MP playback at 15 fps (H.265), 12 MP at 30 fps, 8.3 MP at 120 fps, 1080p at 480 fps, and 720p at 960 fps for high-speed forensic analysis.
Applications
- Large commercial campuses and multi-building facilities
- Transportation hubs, airports, and logistics centers
- Critical infrastructure and government installations
- Retail chains and enterprise environments requiring unified surveillance
- High-resolution monitoring with forensic playback capabilities

The PRN-6400DB4 positions itself in the premium enterprise segment through its 64-channel capacity and distributed recording architecture. The 400 Mbps bandwidth in distributed mode accommodates high-resolution streams (up to 32 MP) without compromise, while H.265 compression maximizes storage efficiency. RAID 5/6 redundancy with ARB ensures data integrity critical for compliance-driven environments.
The dual HDMI output with asymmetric resolution support balances 4K monitoring for command centers with standard HD for distributed viewing. Integration with Wisenet camera ecosystems and license-free operation reduces total cost of ownership for large deployments. Best suited for organizations requiring maximum channel density, redundancy, and forensic-grade playback performance.
