Hanwha XRN-1620B2 16-Channel 8K NVR 48TB
The Hanwha XRN-1620B2-48TB is an Intel-based 16-channel network video recorder engineered for enterprise-grade surveillance deployments requiring ultra-high resolution capture and extended storage retention. Supporting up to 32MP camera resolution with 140Mbps aggregate recording bandwidth, this NVR delivers professional-grade performance for mid-to-large security operations. The 48TB configuration provides substantial storage capacity across eight internal SATA drives, enabling extended forensic review and continuous monitoring without frequent archival cycles.
Key Features
- 16-channel network camera input with SUNAPI and ONVIF protocol support
- Up to 32MP camera resolution capability with H.265, H.264, and MJPEG compression
- 140Mbps maximum recording bandwidth with dual stream recording
- 48TB raw storage via eight internal SATA drives (up to 10TB per drive)
- Dual monitor output: HDMI and VGA with flexible resolution modes
- Multiple recording modes: normal, scheduled (continuous/event), and event-triggered (pre/post)
- N+1 failover and Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB) for operational continuity
Recording & Event Management
The XRN-1620B2 supports comprehensive event triggering including alarm inputs, video loss detection, camera events (motion detection, video analytics, defocus, audio), and user-defined triggers. Event actions include email notification, push alerts, PTZ preset execution, alarm/buzzer output, FTP upload, and SUNAPI command execution. Dual stream recording capability allows simultaneous high-resolution and bandwidth-optimized streams for flexible playback and remote monitoring workflows.
Display & Storage Performance
Dual HDMI and VGA outputs enable independent multi-display monitoring with full dynamic layout control. The 48TB storage configuration accommodates extended retention periods for forensic analysis, compliance requirements, and continuous surveillance operations. Intel-based processing ensures reliable performance under high-bandwidth recording scenarios typical of enterprise deployments.
Applications
- Enterprise facility surveillance with multi-zone monitoring requirements
- High-resolution forensic recording and incident investigation
- Extended-retention compliance monitoring for regulated environments
- Large-scale retail, manufacturing, and corporate security operations

The XRN-1620B2-48TB represents a robust choice for organizations requiring industrial-strength NVR infrastructure. The 140Mbps bandwidth ceiling and 32MP support accommodate modern ultra-HD and 8K-capable cameras, while the 48TB storage footprint delivers meaningful retention without requiring immediate external archival. H.265 compression optimization reduces bandwidth demand compared to H.264, a critical advantage when scaling to high megapixel counts.
The dual-stream architecture and comprehensive event framework make this unit suitable for security operations centers requiring simultaneous live monitoring and forensic capability. N+1 failover support addresses business continuity requirements in mission-critical environments.
