Hanwha XRN-3220RB2 32-Channel 8K NVR
The Hanwha XRN-3220RB2 is a 32-channel, 8K-capable network video recorder powered by Intel's 12th-generation processor architecture. Built for large-scale surveillance deployments, this professional-grade NVR combines high-capacity storage, flexible recording modes, and enterprise-class reliability features to support municipal, enterprise, critical infrastructure, and security integration applications requiring long-term video retention and mission-critical uptime.
Key Features
- 32-Channel 32MP Native Resolution – Records at 32MP (15 fps H.265), 12MP (30 fps H.265), 8.3MP (4-channel @ 30 fps), 1080p (16-channel @ 30 fps), 720p (32-channel @ 30 fps), and D1 (48-channel @ 30 fps) for flexible multi-resolution deployments
- Up to 520 Mbps Recording Bandwidth – Distributed mode supports 520 Mbps in RAID mode; normal mode reaches 300 Mbps distributed or 520 Mbps RAID for high-fidelity multi-sensor environments
- H.265 Video Compression – Industry-standard codec reduces bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining image quality
- Dual-Stream and Flexible Recording Modes – Supports normal, dual-stream, continuous, schedule-based, and event-triggered recording with pre-event and post-event buffering
- Up to 80TB Total Storage Capacity – 8 SATA HDD bays supporting up to 10TB per drive for extended retention periods
- Two-Way Audio Support – Integrated audio input/output for interactive surveillance and communication
- PoE Compatibility – Power over Ethernet support simplifies installation and reduces cabling complexity
Technical Highlights
- Enterprise Reliability Features: Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB), N+1 failover, and RAID 5/6 support ensure continuous operation and data protection
- Storage-Agnostic Platform: Flexible hard drive configuration adapts to deployment size and retention requirements
- Bandwidth Flexibility: Distributed and RAID mode options optimize performance across normal, degraded, and rebuild states
- Granular Storage Optimization: Multiple recording modes, scheduling, and event-triggered capture maximize storage efficiency
- Intel 12th-Gen Processor: Modern CPU architecture delivers responsive playback and transcoding performance
Ideal Applications
The XRN-3220RB2 serves critical surveillance requirements in municipal infrastructure, enterprise campuses, data centers, government facilities, and large-scale security integrations where high-resolution recording, extended storage capacity, and failover reliability are essential.

The XRN-3220RB2 targets deployments requiring both capacity and performance. With 32 channels at native 32MP and bandwidth scaling to 520 Mbps in RAID configurations, this recorder accommodates demanding multi-sensor environments. H.265 compression, dual-stream recording, and flexible scheduling reduce storage overhead while maintaining granular recording control.
Enterprise features—ARB, N+1 redundancy, and RAID 5/6—position this platform for mission-critical infrastructure where downtime or data loss is unacceptable. The 80TB maximum storage capacity and multi-stream recording modes make it well-suited for long-term retention in municipal, government, and corporate security operations. Comparatively, this class of recorder emphasizes reliability and scalability over compact form factors, making it appropriate for dedicated surveillance control rooms and data center installations.
