Hanwha XRN-6420RB2 64-Channel 8K NVR with 40TB Storage
The Hanwha XRN-6420RB2 is an enterprise-grade, Intel-based network video recorder engineered for large-scale surveillance deployments demanding ultra-high resolution recording, extended storage, and reliable performance. Shipping with 40TB raw capacity and supporting up to 32MP camera resolution, this 64-channel NVR is built for integrators managing critical infrastructure, enterprise campuses, and high-density multi-site operations where scalability and redundancy are essential.
Key Features
- 64-channel input with 32MP maximum resolution support
- 40TB pre-configured storage; expandable to 80TB with 8 SATA HDD bays
- 12th generation Intel processor for stable, high-performance operation
- H.265, H.264, and MJPEG compression for flexible codec deployment
- Dual HDMI outputs: 4K at 30Hz and 1080p at 60Hz for multi-display configurations
- RAID 5/6 with automatic recovery and N+1 ARB failover for data protection
- PoE compatibility for streamlined camera connectivity
- Two-way audio support for interactive surveillance applications
Recording & Performance Specifications
The XRN-6420RB2 delivers up to 520 Mbps distributed recording bandwidth and 300 Mbps in normal mode, with 200 Mbps playback capability. Dual-stream recording enables simultaneous high-resolution archival and lower-bandwidth live viewing. Flexible scheduling supports continuous, event-driven, pre/post-event, and bookmark-based recording—critical for incident investigation and compliance documentation. The recorder accommodates resolution scaling from 32MP down to CIF, allowing legacy camera integration alongside modern deployments.
Storage & Redundancy
Eight SATA HDD bays accept drives up to 10TB each, providing a maximum capacity of 80TB. RAID 5 and RAID 6 configurations with automatic failover ensure business continuity and protect against single or dual drive failures. This architecture is essential for mission-critical applications where data loss is unacceptable.
Display & Management
Dual HDMI outputs support independent 4K and 1080p displays simultaneously. Local multi-screen layouts and virtual channel views enable efficient monitoring across large channel counts. Web-based management supports up to 100 concurrent users, while fisheye dewarping enhances both local display and CMS integration. ONVIF and SUNAPI protocol support ensure broad camera ecosystem compatibility, and iSCSI integration enables advanced SAN-based storage architectures.
Applications
- Large enterprise campuses and multi-building complexes
- Critical infrastructure, utilities, and transportation hubs
- High-density surveillance environments requiring extended retention
- Integrations with existing surveillance management platforms
- Organizations requiring RAID-protected, fault-tolerant recording

The XRN-6420RB2 positions itself in the premium NVR segment, targeting system integrators rather than end-users. The 12th-generation Intel architecture provides headroom for future firmware enhancements and concurrent user load. H.265 codec support significantly reduces storage consumption compared to H.264, extending retention periods without additional hardware investment.
The 40TB baseline configuration balances immediate usability with growth potential via bay expansion. RAID 6 capability—protecting against dual drive failures—is particularly valuable in deployments where unplanned downtime carries operational or regulatory consequences. For organizations evaluating between purpose-built appliances and software-based solutions, the pre-configured 40TB variant eliminates initial integration friction and shortens deployment timelines.
