Hanwha XRN-6420DB4 64-Channel 8K NVR 160TB
The Hanwha XRN-6420DB4 is an enterprise-grade 64-channel 8K NVR built on Intel's 12th generation processor architecture, engineered for large-scale surveillance deployments demanding extended storage capacity and high-bandwidth recording performance. With support for up to 160TB raw storage across 16 SATA HDD bays and advanced redundancy features, this system delivers the reliability and scalability required for mission-critical security operations.
Key Features
- 64-channel recording with 32MP maximum resolution support
- Up to 160TB raw storage capacity with 16 SATA HDD bays (10TB per drive max)
- Recording bandwidth: 520 Mbps (distributed mode); 300 Mbps (normal mode)
- H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codec support for mixed-camera environments
- Dual HDMI outputs: 3840x2160 @ 30Hz and 1920x1080 @ 60Hz
- RAID 5/6 support with hot-swap HDD capability
- Redundant power supply and N+1 failover protection
- AI Search integration with Wisenet AI cameras
- Two-way audio support and iSCSI external storage compatibility
Recording & Playback Performance
The XRN-6420DB4 maintains consistent 520 Mbps recording bandwidth even during RAID rebuild operations, ensuring uninterrupted data capture across normal, degraded, and recovery states. Playback bandwidth reaches 200 Mbps, supporting simultaneous multi-stream review. Flexible recording modes include continuous, schedule-based, and event-triggered capture with configurable pre- and post-event recording windows.
Storage & Data Protection
With 16 SATA HDD bays supporting up to 160TB raw capacity, the system accommodates extended retention periods for large installations. RAID 5 and RAID 6 configurations protect against single and dual drive failures respectively. Hot-swap capability enables HDD replacement without system shutdown. Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB) and redundant power supplies ensure continuous operation and data integrity during infrastructure failures.
Display & Integration
Dual HDMI outputs provide flexible monitoring configurations with independent resolution support. Dynamic layout modes, virtual channel views, and clone/expand functionality enable efficient multi-monitor setups. The system supports fisheye dewarping both locally and through compatible CMS platforms. iSCSI support extends storage options beyond internal SATA capacity.
Ideal Applications
- Enterprise campus and multi-site surveillance
- Government and critical infrastructure monitoring
- Retail chains and transportation hubs
- Data centers and secure facilities
- Deployments requiring 32MP camera integration and extended retention

The XRN-6420DB4 represents Hanwha's enterprise-tier NVR platform, optimized for organizations requiring massive parallel recording throughput and storage density. The Intel 12th-gen architecture provides sufficient processing headroom for 64-channel 32MP streams while maintaining redundancy features. The 520 Mbps distributed-mode throughput is notably maintained during RAID rebuild—a critical specification often overlooked but essential for production environments.
The dual compression support (H.265 and H.264) facilitates integration with heterogeneous camera fleets without transcoding overhead. For deployments prioritizing long-term storage cost efficiency and infrastructure resilience, the RAID flexibility and hot-swap capability justify the investment over mid-tier alternatives.
