Hanwha XRN-1620SB1-8TB Overview
The Hanwha XRN-1620SB1-8TB is a 16-channel network video recorder with integrated PoE+ power delivery, designed for enterprise and integrator deployments requiring unified recording and power infrastructure in a single appliance. This Intel-based NVR comes factory-configured with 8TB of raw storage and supports up to 32 megapixel camera resolution, making it suitable for high-definition surveillance environments ranging from small commercial facilities to large distributed deployments. The integrated PoE+ switching eliminates the need for external power injectors and simplifies installation logistics.
Hanwha XRN-1620SB1-8TB Key Features
- 16-Channel PoE+ Network Input with 200W Power Budget: All 16 camera ports deliver PoE+ (802.3at) power, with 200W total PoE budget shared across channels. No external midspans required; power and data flow through a single Cat5e/Cat6 cable per camera.
- 32 Megapixel Recording and Display Support: Captures and plays back full-resolution video from ultra-high-definition cameras up to 32MP in H.265 compression; supports down to CIF for legacy camera integration. Dual-stream recording enables simultaneous high-resolution archival and lower-bandwidth remote viewing.
- 140 Mbps Recording Bandwidth, Up to 32 Mbps Playback: Handles simultaneous multi-channel recording at high frame rates without bottlenecking. Playback bandwidth of 32 Mbps supports concurrent remote user access without frame loss.
- H.265, H.264, and MJPEG Codec Support: Multi-codec flexibility allows mixing camera brands and ages on the same recorder. H.265 compression reduces storage consumption by up to 50% compared to H.264, extending retention periods on fixed storage.
- WiseStream Technology: Adaptive bitrate compression automatically adjusts video quality based on scene content, lowering bandwidth during static scenes and preserving detail during motion—critical for bandwidth-constrained or high-channel-count deployments.
- Dual HDMI and VGA Display Output: FHD output via both HDMI and VGA simultaneously for monitoring without external switching hardware. UHD (4K) output available on HDMI with single-monitor configuration. Dynamic layout, virtual channel view, and clone mode (up to 16 divisions) enable flexible control room setups.
- Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB) and N+1 Failover: Protects against data loss via automatic backup to external storage during network or main recorder failure. N+1 failover configuration enables one standby recorder to automatically assume recording duties if the primary unit fails.
- Fisheye Dewarping on Web and CMS: Native dewarp processing for 360° fisheye cameras accessible through web UI 2.0 and compatible CMS platforms. No plugin installation required on client workstations.
- 4 Internal SATA HDD Slots with Up to 24TB Maximum Capacity: The XRN-1620SB1-8TB ships with pre-installed storage but supports expansion up to 6TB per drive (4 drives max = 24TB total). Hot-swap design minimizes downtime during capacity upgrades or drive replacement.
- Wisenet AI Search and Dynamic Event Indexing: Metadata-based search accelerates forensic review. AI search integrates with Wisenet AI camera analytics (motion detection, sensor events, video analytics, defocus detection, audio events) for rapid incident investigation. Dynamic event detection reduces false positives through intelligent filtering.
- SUNAPI and ONVIF Protocol Support: Hanwha proprietary SUNAPI alongside standard ONVIF ensures compatibility with third-party VMS platforms and network devices. Supports both Hanwha ecosystem integration and open-standards deployments.
- Up to 4 Simultaneous Local Users, 3 Remote Users (16 Channels per Remote): Multi-user architecture enables control room operators, remote sites, and administrative access without license restrictions. Up to 64 simultaneous channels per remote user via virtual channel view.
Hanwha XRN-1620SB1-8TB Integration & Compatibility
This recorder implements SUNAPI and ONVIF protocols for seamless integration with Hanwha Wisenet camera ecosystems and third-party VMS platforms supporting ONVIF. Local monitor output (HDMI/VGA dual display) supports up to 16-division clone mode or 9-division expand mode for flexible control room deployment. Web UI 2.0 operates plugin-free, enabling browser-based remote access from Windows, macOS, and Linux workstations without Java or ActiveX components. The dual-stream recording architecture permits independent configuration of local recording parameters and remote streaming quality, accommodating bandwidth-constrained remote offices or cloud integration scenarios.
