Hanwha PRN-6400DB4 64-Channel 8K NVR 48TB
The Hanwha PRN-6400DB4 is an Intel-based 64-channel 8K network video recorder designed for large-scale enterprise surveillance deployments. With 400 Mbps distributed recording bandwidth, support for up to 32 MP resolution across all channels, and 48 TB raw storage capacity, this system delivers enterprise-grade performance and reliability for mission-critical surveillance environments.
Key Features
- 64-channel NVR with Intel processor architecture
- Support for 32 MP resolution streams at 15 fps, 12 MP at 30 fps, and 8.3 MP at 120 fps
- 400 Mbps distributed recording bandwidth; 150 Mbps normal mode
- Dual H.265/H.264 codec support with MJPEG compatibility
- WiseStream dual-stream recording technology for bandwidth optimization
- 48 TB raw storage with 16 internal SATA HDDs (10 TB maximum per drive)
- RAID 5 & 6 redundancy with Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB)
- License-free operation
- Up to 32 Mbps maximum playback bandwidth for simultaneous remote users
Recording & Storage Capabilities
This NVR accommodates 64 channels with flexible resolution support ranging from 32 MP down to CIF, enabling organizations to optimize storage utilization based on specific monitoring requirements. The distributed recording mode delivers 400 Mbps throughput, while standard mode provides 150 Mbps. Dual-stream recording with WiseStream technology reduces bandwidth consumption without compromising image quality. The 16 fixed internal SATA drives configured in a 48 TB raw setup provide substantial capacity, protected by RAID 5 & 6 redundancy and Automatic Recovery Backup for data integrity assurance.
Display & User Interface
The PRN-6400DB4 features dual HDMI outputs: one supporting 4K resolution (3840×2160 @ 30 Hz) and a secondary output at 1920×1080 @ 60 Hz. Local operation supports multi-screen viewing modes, dynamic layouts, virtual channel views, and full 64-channel clone mode. Remote management is enabled through the Web UI 2.0 interface, which operates without plug-in requirements for simplified access across devices and networks.
Codec & Compression Support
The system supports H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codecs with WiseStream variants, providing flexibility for diverse camera types and bandwidth constraints. Recording modes include continuous, event-triggered with pre/post event capture, and bookmark recording for efficient storage management.
Applications
- Large-scale enterprise surveillance networks
- Government and institutional security deployments
- Critical infrastructure monitoring
- Multi-site surveillance coordination
- High-resolution forensic recording

The PRN-6400DB4 targets organizations requiring maximum channel density with minimal latency and maximum reliability. The Intel-based architecture ensures stable performance under continuous high-bandwidth loads. RAID 5 & 6 redundancy combined with ARB provides defense against drive failures without service interruption—critical for 24/7 surveillance operations.
The 400 Mbps distributed bandwidth is particularly valuable in large deployments where channel distribution across multiple storage pools improves performance consistency. WiseStream codec variants deliver tangible bandwidth savings (typically 30-50%) compared to standard H.265, extending retention periods without additional storage investment. The absence of licensing requirements reduces total cost of ownership in multi-channel environments.
Remote playback at 32 Mbps supports simultaneous investigative access, important for incident response workflows in enterprise security operations.
