Hanwha XRN-820S 8K NVR 6TB Intel Based
The Hanwha XRN-820S is an 8-channel embedded Linux network video recorder engineered for enterprises and integrators deploying high-resolution surveillance infrastructure. This Intel-based NVR delivers 120Mbps recording bandwidth across up to 8 channels, supporting camera resolutions from 32MP down to CIF, making it ideal for mixed deployments ranging from megapixel to legacy analog-bridged systems. With 6TB of internal raw storage and dual HDMI/VGA display outputs, the XRN-820S provides flexible control room scalability and business continuity features essential for mission-critical surveillance environments.
Key Features
- 32MP native resolution recording with per-resolution frame-rate optimization
- H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codec support for maximum storage efficiency
- 120Mbps maximum recording bandwidth with dual-stream recording capability
- WiseStream adaptive bitrate technology for intelligent bandwidth optimization
- 6TB internal storage (two 6TB SATA HDDs, expandable to 12TB maximum)
- Multiple recording modes: continuous, event-scheduled, pre/post event, and bookmark recording
- Dual HDMI/VGA display output for flexible monitoring configurations
- PoE+ (802.3at) power support for simplified network deployments
Recording & Event Management
The XRN-820S supports comprehensive event triggering including alarm inputs, video loss detection, camera-level events (motion detection, video analytics, defocus, audio events), and user-defined custom triggers. Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB) with N+1 failover ensures business continuity during storage or system failures. Event-based and continuous recording modes allow flexible storage utilization based on deployment security requirements.
Playback & Multi-User Access
Maximum playback bandwidth of 32Mbps supports up to 4 simultaneous local and remote users, with capability for up to 32 channels of simultaneous playback (8 local channels, 8 per remote user per instance). This multi-user architecture enables distributed monitoring across control rooms and remote locations without bandwidth bottlenecks.

The XRN-820S represents a balanced solution for mid-to-large scale surveillance deployments. The 120Mbps bandwidth ceiling with 8-channel input supports genuine 32MP recording but requires careful bandwidth allocation when mixing high-resolution streams. H.265 compression delivers substantial storage optimization—critical given the 6TB base capacity.
The dual HDMI/VGA output provides legacy compatibility while supporting modern control room configurations. WiseStream technology ensures efficient bandwidth utilization without sacrificing frame rate, a key advantage in bandwidth-constrained network environments. N+1 failover and ARB features address enterprise uptime requirements, though administrators should verify storage strategy against retention policies.
The PoE+ support simplifies camera power delivery in medium-scale deployments but may require supplemental power injection for high-channel-count installations with power-hungry cameras.
