Recording & Codec Capabilities
The PRN-6400DB4 supports H.265, H.264, MJPEG, and WiseStream compression formats, enabling efficient storage utilization across varying camera types and quality requirements. Dual-stream recording allows simultaneous capture of high-resolution archive streams alongside lower-bandwidth live or backup streams—critical for environments where both long-term retention and real-time responsiveness are required. Bandwidth flexibility accommodates 400 Mbps in distributed mode, 150 Mbps in normal operation, and 320 Mbps during RAID rebuild cycles.
Storage & Data Protection
With capacity for up to 16 fixed internal SATA HDDs and a standard 32TB raw configuration, the PRN-6400DB4 supports extended retention periods for high-resolution footage. Dual RAID protection modes (RAID 5 and RAID 6) ensure data integrity, while Automatic Recovery Backup provides failover capability for disaster recovery scenarios—essential for mission-critical deployments.
Display & Playback Performance
Dual HDMI outputs deliver 4K resolution on the primary display and 1080p on the secondary. Multi-screen layout options include dynamic, clone, and expand modes with up to 64-division clone capability. The system supports simultaneous local playback of all 64 channels at 32 MP resolution, with remote access supporting 16 channels per user across up to 3 concurrent remote connections.

The PRN-6400DB4 is purpose-built for large-scale surveillance operations where mixed-resolution camera integration and extended storage are non-negotiable requirements. The combination of 64-channel capacity, 32 MP support, and multi-codec flexibility makes this NVR suitable for government agencies, transportation hubs, critical infrastructure, and enterprise campuses. The Intel-based architecture ensures reliable performance under high-bandwidth conditions, while WiseStream optimization reduces storage overhead without sacrificing investigative capability.
RAID 6 redundancy and ARB failover protection address the demands of deployments where surveillance system downtime poses operational or compliance risks. For integrators managing heterogeneous camera ecosystems, the H.265/H.264/MJPEG support eliminates codec-driven hardware refresh cycles. The 32TB standard configuration balances capacity with physical footprint—though storage expansion via additional external units may be required for 30+ day retention of 32MP streams across all 64 channels.
