Hanwha XRN-6420RB2 64-Channel 8K Intel-Based NVR with 8TB Storage
The Hanwha XRN-6420RB2 is a high-performance, 64-channel Intel-based NVR engineered for large-scale surveillance deployments. Shipping with 8TB of raw storage capacity and expandable to 80TB via eight SATA HDDs (up to 10TB each), this system delivers enterprise-grade reliability and throughput for security integrators and IT managers managing complex multi-camera networks with demanding bandwidth and redundancy requirements.
Key Features
- 64-channel simultaneous recording at up to 32MP resolution
- 520 Mbps recording bandwidth in distributed mode; 300 Mbps in normal mode
- 200 Mbps playback bandwidth
- H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codec support for flexible compression
- Dual stream recording for optimized bandwidth utilization
- RAID 5 and RAID 6 data protection (minimum HDD count required)
- Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB) with N+1 failover for business continuity
- Dual HDMI outputs: HDMI 1 at 4K (3840×2160, 30Hz) and HDMI 2 at 1080p (60Hz)
- Two-way audio support for on-premises communication
- iSCSI support for extended network storage
- ONVIF and SUNAPI protocol compatibility for third-party integration
Technical Highlights
This NVR supports PoE connectivity for streamlined camera integration and features web-based management accommodating up to 100 simultaneous clients. Dynamic multi-screen layouts and virtual channel views provide flexible monitoring across distributed deployments. P2P QR code connectivity enables secure remote access, while alarm I/O integration facilitates external trigger event management. The Intel-based architecture ensures stable performance under heavy processing loads, making it ideal for 24/7 operation in critical security environments.
Applications
- Enterprise campuses and multi-site facilities
- Transportation hubs and traffic management systems
- Retail chains and distribution centers
- Critical infrastructure and government installations
- Healthcare facilities requiring continuous recording

The XRN-6420RB2 addresses the growing need for ultra-high-resolution surveillance at scale. Its 32MP per-channel capability combined with 64-channel support positions it above mid-market alternatives, while H.265 compression ensures storage efficiency without sacrificing video quality. The dual RAID configuration (RAID 5/6) and N+1 failover architecture reflect enterprise-grade expectations for uptime-critical deployments.
Network bandwidth at 520 Mbps distributed mode accommodates 4K/8K feeds without bottlenecking, though implementers should verify switch and NAS infrastructure alignment. The 8TB base configuration is practical for proof-of-concept, but most production deployments will benefit from maxing out the 80TB capacity for extended retention at high resolution.
