Hanwha XRN-1620B2-8TB 8K NVR (Intel based)

Hanwha XRN-1620B2-8TB Overview

The Hanwha XRN-1620B2-8TB is a 16-channel Intel-based Network Video Recorder engineered for mid-to-large scale IP surveillance deployments. This NVR delivers 140 Mbps recording bandwidth with support for cameras up to 32 megapixels, making it ideal for high-resolution security integrations requiring extended storage and advanced video compression. The 8TB configuration provides substantial local recording capacity across 8 fixed internal SATA bays, each supporting up to 10TB drives for maximum capacity expansion to 80TB.

Hanwha XRN-1620B2-8TB Key Features

• 16-Channel Network Input: Supports up to 16 IP cameras with SUNAPI and ONVIF protocol compatibility, ensuring broad camera ecosystem interoperability.
• 32MP Resolution Support: Records and displays video from 32MP-capable cameras down to CIF resolution, enabling forensic-quality imagery with flexible format support.
• 140 Mbps Recording Bandwidth: High-throughput recording architecture handles simultaneous multi-camera streams without compression bottlenecks, critical for real-time surveillance at scale.
• Dual Compression & WiseStream Technology: Native H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codec support with WiseStream intelligent bandwidth optimization reduces storage overhead by up to 50% without sacrificing quality, directly lowering infrastructure costs.
• Dual-Stream Recording: Independent streams enable simultaneous high-resolution archival and lower-bitrate streaming playback, optimizing both local storage efficiency and remote viewing performance.
• Dual Monitor Output: HDMI and VGA simultaneous display on FHD monitors enables split-screen operation monitoring (FHD Clone mode: 32M @ 15fps H.265 only; 12M @ 30fps H.265 only; 8.3M @ 50fps; 1080p @ 240fps; D1 @ 480fps) or UHD single-monitor display (32M @ 15fps H.265 only; 12M @ 30fps H.265 only; 8.3M @ 50fps; 1080p @ 240fps; D1 @ 270fps), with multi-screen web layouts supporting 1, 2H, 2V, 3V, 4, 6, 8, and 9 division views.
• 32 Mbps Maximum Playback Bandwidth: Local and remote simultaneous playback supports up to 4 concurrent users (1 local, 3 remote) with up to 64 total playback channels (16 local, 16 per remote user), enabling fast/slow forward/backward scrubbing and frame-by-frame navigation.
• Fisheye Dewarping: Native dewarping support on web UI 2.0 and CMS platforms (CIF–32MP, up to 9MP with H.264, 32MP with H.265) eliminates the need for external dewarping appliances, reducing deployment footprint.
• Web UI 2.0 (Plugin-Free): Browser-based management and playback require no client software installation, lowering deployment friction across heterogeneous IT environments.
• Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB) & Failover: N+1 redundancy and dynamic event backup protect critical recordings from single-point failure, essential for 24/7 mission-critical installations.
• AI Search & Wisenet AI Integration: Supports metadata search on Wisenet AI-enabled cameras, enabling rapid forensic investigation without frame-by-frame review (requires compatible AI camera models).
• Event Scheduling & Triggering: Granular control with Normal/Continuous/Event/Schedule recording modes; supports alarm input, video loss, camera events (sensor, motion detection, video analytics, defocus, audio), dynamic events, and user-triggered events with actionable outputs (e-Mail, EventPush, PTZ preset, alarm relay, buzzer, monitor out, FTP, SUNAPI command, or scheduled shutdown).
• Embedded Linux Operating System: Purpose-built OS eliminates consumer OS overhead, reducing attack surface and improving deterministic performance under sustained recording loads.

Hanwha XRN-1620B2-8TB Integration & Compatibility

The XRN-1620B2-8TB supports SUNAPI and ONVIF protocols, enabling integration with third-party IP cameras and VMS platforms. Calendar-based search, event list review, text search, and SmartSearch (Wisenet AI metadata) streamline investigation workflows. The device supports up to 16-division clone mode or 9-division expand mode on local monitors, and flexible web multi-screen layouts ensure compatibility with diverse control room environments. Dual-stream recording architecture permits high-resolution primary recording streams independent of lower-bitrate remote viewing streams, optimizing bandwidth utilization across WAN links. ARB and N+1 failover architecture support redundant deployment topologies. QR code provisioning accelerates on-site camera enrollment and network configuration.
