Hanwha PRN-6400DB4 64-Channel 8K NVR with 40TB Storage
The Hanwha PRN-6400DB4 is an Intel-based, 64-channel standalone NVR engineered for large-scale enterprise and integrator deployments. Supporting up to 32MP resolution recording and 8K capability, this license-free system delivers professional-grade performance with NDAA and FCC compliance, making it ideal for federal, government, and mission-critical security installations.
Key Features
- 64-channel NVR with 32MP and 8K recording support
- 400 Mbps recording bandwidth in normal and distributed RAID modes
- Up to 40TB raw storage capacity with 16 SATA HDD slots (10TB max per drive)
- Dual RAID protection (RAID 5 and RAID 6) with Automatic Recovery Backup
- H.265, H.264, MJPEG, and WiseStream codec support for optimized compression
- Simultaneous 4-user local and remote playback at 32 Mbps
- Dual display output: 4K HDMI and 1080p VGA connectivity
- License-free operation with NDAA/FCC compliance
Recording & Playback Performance
The PRN-6400DB4 delivers 400 Mbps recording bandwidth during normal and distributed RAID operations, with sustained 320 Mbps performance during RAID degradation and rebuild cycles. This ensures continuous, reliable recording across all 64 channels without bandwidth bottlenecks. Playback reaches 32 Mbps maximum, supporting up to four concurrent local and remote users. Advanced compression codecs—H.265, H.264, MJPEG, and WiseStream—minimize storage overhead while preserving image clarity across variable bitrate streams.
Storage & Redundancy
The system accommodates up to 16 fixed internal SATA HDDs with a maximum of 10TB per drive, enabling 40TB raw capacity configurations. RAID 5 and RAID 6 redundancy protect against single and dual disk failures. Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB) ensures rapid data restoration during error conditions. Flexible storage modes include continuous recording, dual-stream, schedule-based, and event-triggered recording with pre- and post-event bookmarking for forensic analysis.
Display & Interface
Dual-display output via HDMI and VGA supports 4K resolution (3840×2160 @ 30Hz) on HDMI 1 and 1080p (1920×1080 @ 60Hz) on HDMI 2, enabling comprehensive local monitoring and control on dedicated security operations center displays.
Applications
- Federal and government facilities
- Large enterprise campuses and critical infrastructure
- Integrator-deployed multi-site systems
- High-resolution forensic and evidence recording

The PRN-6400DB4 stands out for organizations requiring extreme scalability and reliability. The 64-channel capacity, combined with 32MP support and redundant RAID architecture, makes it suitable for large metropolitan surveillance networks and mission-critical deployments where downtime is not acceptable. Intel-based processing ensures compatibility with enterprise IT infrastructure.
H.265 compression efficiency directly reduces TCO through extended storage intervals and lower bandwidth requirements—critical for integrators managing multi-petabyte deployments. NDAA compliance certifies suitability for federal procurement and sensitive facility deployments. The 40TB capacity in a single unit reduces the number of systems required, simplifying management and reducing points of failure compared to smaller-capacity alternatives.
