Hanwha XRN-1620B2 16-Channel 8K Intel-Based NVR
The Hanwha XRN-1620B2 is a powerful 16-channel Intel-based network video recorder engineered for mid-to-large scale surveillance deployments requiring high-resolution 8K capability. With support for up to 32-megapixel camera resolution and 140Mbps maximum recording bandwidth, this NVR delivers exceptional performance for demanding security environments. The unit arrives pre-configured with 4TB internal storage and supports expansion up to 80TB across eight fixed SATA drive bays (10TB per bay), making it ideal for extended retention requirements.
Key Features
- 16-channel network camera input with SUNAPI and ONVIF protocol support
- Support for 32MP camera resolution with intelligent H.265 compression
- 140Mbps maximum recording bandwidth with dual-stream capability
- Multiple recording modes: continuous, event-triggered, pre/post, scheduled, and bookmark
- Dual display output: FHD via HDMI and VGA simultaneously, or UHD via single HDMI
- WiseStream technology for automatic bandwidth optimization
- ARB (Automatic Recovery Backup) with N+1 failover redundancy for high availability
- Web UI 2.0 with zero-plugin architecture for easy remote access
Recording and Compression Technology
This NVR supports H.265, H.264, and MJPEG video compression formats, allowing administrators to optimize storage efficiency and bandwidth utilization based on specific deployment requirements. Dual-stream recording capability enables simultaneous local and remote monitoring at different quality levels, while WiseStream intelligent bandwidth management automatically adjusts encoding parameters without sacrificing image quality.
Advanced Event Management
Comprehensive event detection includes alarm inputs, video loss detection, and sophisticated camera analytics such as motion detection, sensor triggers, defocus alerts, and user-defined events. Event responses are highly configurable, supporting email notifications, push alerts, PTZ presets, alarm outputs, FTP uploads, and SUNAPI command execution for seamless integration into broader security ecosystems.
Display and Monitoring
The dual-display architecture supports flexible monitoring configurations with simultaneous FHD output via HDMI and VGA, or single-monitor UHD operation. Local display modes offer clone viewing (up to 16 divisions) and expanded layouts (up to 9 divisions) for comprehensive situational awareness. The intuitive Web UI 2.0 requires no browser plugins, enabling secure remote monitoring from any location.
