Hanwha PRN-3200B4 32-Channel 8K NVR 88TB
The Hanwha PRN-3200B4 is an Intel-based 32-channel network video recorder engineered for large-scale enterprise surveillance deployments. Supporting up to 32MP resolution recording and playback with 88TB raw storage capacity, this NVR delivers license-free operation and flexible codec support for mixed-resolution camera environments. Built for organizations requiring high-capacity surveillance infrastructure with advanced redundancy and playback performance.
Key Features
- 32-channel 8K NVR with 32MP recording and playback support
- 88TB raw capacity (16 × 10TB internal SATA HDDs)
- 400 Mbps distributed recording bandwidth; 150 Mbps normal mode
- H.265, H.264, MJPEG, and WiseStream codec flexibility
- RAID 5 & 6 support with Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB)
- Dual HDMI display outputs (4K + 1080p)
- Web UI 2.0 with no plugin requirement
- License-free recording and playback
Recording & Storage Performance
The PRN-3200B4 accepts up to 32 channels of network camera input spanning 32MP down to CIF resolution, accommodating heterogeneous camera deployments within a single system. Distributed recording bandwidth reaches 400 Mbps with normal mode operation at 150 Mbps, while playback bandwidth supports up to 32 Mbps standard, expandable to 64 Mbps across 32 simultaneous channels. Dual stream recording, scheduled recording, event-triggered pre/post recording, and bookmark functionality enable flexible retention and retrieval workflows. RAID 5 and 6 configurations with Automatic Recovery Backup protect against drive failure and data loss.
Display & Playback Capabilities
Dual HDMI outputs provide 4K resolution (3840 × 2160 @ 30Hz) on HDMI 1 and 1080p (1920 × 1080 @ 60Hz) on HDMI 2 for simultaneous local monitoring. Multi-screen display with dynamic layout options, Clone Mode (up to 36 divisions), and Expand Mode (up to 36 divisions on HDMI1, 16 on HDMI2) deliver flexible control room configurations. Web-based UI 2.0 eliminates plugin dependencies and supports 1, 2H, 2V, 3V, 4, 6, 8, and 9 division layouts. Playback resolutions range from 32MP (15fps H.265 only) and 12MP (30fps H.265 only) to accelerated playback at 1080p (480fps) and 720p (960fps), with fisheye dewarping support for panoramic camera integration.
Enterprise Applications
Ideal for multi-facility deployments, smart cities, transportation hubs, critical infrastructure, and large campuses requiring centralized high-resolution surveillance. The combination of 88TB capacity, advanced compression, and flexible codec support makes it suitable for mixed-camera environments where existing 2MP/4MP systems integrate alongside 8K ultra-high-definition coverage.

The PRN-3200B4 is engineered for organizations transitioning toward 8K-capable surveillance while maintaining backward compatibility with installed base cameras. The 88TB capacity at RAID 5/6 protection provides meaningful retention for high-bandwidth streams; H.265 codec adoption is critical for maximizing storage efficiency. Intel-based architecture ensures stable performance and vendor ecosystem support.
Web UI 2.0 modernizes remote management, though enterprises should verify integration with existing VMS and third-party platforms. The 400 Mbps distributed bandwidth is substantial but requires network infrastructure planning—switch port speeds and backbone capacity must accommodate peak simultaneous streams. Dual display outputs cater to hybrid control room deployments, though 4K output on HDMI 1 is limited to 30Hz.
RAID 5/6 with ARB provides hardware-level redundancy, reducing dependency on external NAS or cloud backup for critical deployments.
