Hanwha XRN-3220B2 32-Channel 8K NVR with 48TB Storage
The Hanwha XRN-3220B2 is an enterprise-grade, 32-channel network video recorder built on 12th-generation Intel processors, designed for large-scale surveillance deployments requiring extended retention and ultra-high-resolution recording. With 48TB of raw storage capacity distributed across eight fixed SATA HDD bays (supporting up to 10TB per drive), this NVR delivers the performance and scalability needed for mission-critical security operations.
Key Features
- 32-channel simultaneous recording and playback at up to 32MP resolution
- 48TB total storage capacity with flexible HDD configuration (8 × SATA bays)
- Distributed recording bandwidth up to 520 Mbps; normal mode 300 Mbps
- Advanced video compression: H.265, H.264, and MJPEG support
- Dual-stream recording with flexible scheduling modes (continuous, event, pre/post-event, bookmark)
- 200 Mbps playback bandwidth with simultaneous multi-user access
- WiseStream intelligent bandwidth management for optimized storage utilization
- Dual simultaneous display output for dedicated monitoring and management
- Fisheye dewarping on local displays and via CMS integration
Network Integration & Management
- SUNAPI and ONVIF protocol support for third-party camera and VMS integration
- Built-in Web UI 2.0 with no plugin requirements; supports up to 100 simultaneous users
- AI Search capability for Wisenet AI cameras enabling intelligent event detection and retrieval
- P2P connectivity and QR code provisioning for rapid deployment
- Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB) and N+1 failover redundancy for system resilience
Performance & Recording Specifications
This Intel-powered NVR excels in high-throughput environments. Record 32 channels at full 32MP resolution simultaneously, with flexible dual-stream capability to balance quality and storage demands. H.265 compression delivers significant bandwidth and storage savings compared to H.264, while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy codecs. The 520 Mbps distributed recording bandwidth accommodates high-resolution feeds from Wisenet and third-party ONVIF cameras without compromise.
Storage & Reliability
The eight SATA HDD bays support drives up to 10TB each, enabling 48TB total capacity for extended retention periods—essential for compliance and forensic investigations. Automatic Recovery Backup ensures rapid system restoration following failures, while N+1 redundancy architecture protects against single-point failures in critical deployments.
Applications
- Enterprise campuses and large retail chains requiring 32+ camera deployments
- Government facilities and critical infrastructure with extended retention mandates
- Data centers and server farms needing 24/7 high-resolution monitoring
- Multi-location operations leveraging centralized management and cloud integration

The XRN-3220B2 represents Hanwha's commitment to Intel-based processing for demanding surveillance environments. The 12th-generation Intel architecture provides superior transcoding and AI processing capabilities compared to ARM-based alternatives, critical for AI Search and real-time analytics. The 48TB baseline capacity with modular HDD support offers exceptional flexibility—scale storage without replacing the unit.
WiseStream technology differentiates this NVR in bandwidth-constrained networks, dynamically adjusting compression and frame rates per camera feed. For integrators managing mixed-vendor environments, dual SUNAPI/ONVIF support eliminates vendor lock-in. The Web UI 2.0 with 100-user concurrency suits organizations with distributed security teams.
Consider this platform for mission-critical deployments where uptime, retention, and integration flexibility are non-negotiable.
