Hanwha XRN-820S 8-Channel 8K Network Video Recorder

Hanwha XRN-820S Overview

The Hanwha XRN-820S is an 8-channel network video recorder engineered for enterprise surveillance deployments requiring high-resolution capture and efficient bandwidth management. This Intel-based NVR supports up to 32-megapixel camera inputs, delivering 8K-class resolution performance with professional-grade recording and playback capabilities. Ideal for security integrators deploying mixed-resolution camera networks, the XRN-820S combines raw storage capacity with intelligent compression and metadata-driven search functionality.

Hanwha XRN-820S Key Features

• 32-Megapixel Camera Support: Accommodates ultra-high-resolution network cameras from CIF through 32MP, enabling deployment of next-generation imaging sensors across 8 channels.
• 120 Mbps Maximum Recording Bandwidth: Supports simultaneous multi-stream recording from all 8 channels at full resolution without bottlenecking, critical for installations requiring comprehensive coverage without compromise.
• H.265, H.264, and MJPEG Compression: Triple codec support with WiseStream technology enables flexible storage optimization—H.265 delivers up to 50% bandwidth reduction compared to H.264 while maintaining image quality.
• Dual Monitor Output with 4K Support: HDMI and VGA dual monitor configuration allows FHD clone mode or UHD single-monitor display, with local playback up to 32MP at 15 fps (H.265) or 12MP at 30 fps.
• 8TB Raw Storage Capacity: Provides substantial onboard storage with support for up to 2 internal hard drives (maximum 12TB total), enabling extended retention for high-bandwidth deployments.
• Dynamic Event Triggering: Records based on alarm input, video loss detection, camera events (motion, video analytics, defocus, audio), and dynamic events, with configurable pre/post event buffering.
• Wisenet AI Metadata Search: Integrates video analytics and AI-powered metadata indexing for accelerated forensic playback and event correlation across 8 simultaneous recording channels.
• ARB & Failover (N+1) Architecture: Automatic Recovery Backup with redundancy support ensures business continuity in mission-critical surveillance environments.
• ONVIF and SUNAPI Protocol Support: Ensures seamless integration with third-party IP cameras and VMS platforms, supporting open ecosystem deployment models.
• Multi-Screen Web Playback: Remote users access up to 9-division layout via web interface with selectable playback modes (1, 2H, 2V, 3V, 4, 6, 8, or 9 channels).
• Embedded Linux Operating System: Purpose-built embedded OS minimizes overhead and maximizes stability for 24/7 surveillance operations without unnecessary OS complexity.
• Maximum 4 Simultaneous Local/Remote Users: Supports 1 local and up to 3 remote concurrent users with up to 32-channel simultaneous playback per remote user (8CH local, 8CH remote).

Hanwha XRN-820S Integration & Compatibility

The XRN-820S integrates with ONVIF-compliant IP cameras and supports both SUNAPI and ONVIF protocols for VMS platform connectivity. Playback bandwidth maxes at 32 Mbps, accommodating 4 simultaneous remote users with independent stream selection. The recorder supports fisheye dewarping with CIF through 32MP playback resolution. Calendar-based search, event list filtering, text search, and SmartSearch metadata functionality accelerate forensic investigation workflows. Standard network-attached surveillance deployments benefit from the XRN-820S' ability to handle dual-stream recording (normal bitrate plus secondary stream) and scheduled event triggering with email, event push, PTZ preset, alarm output, buzzer, monitor output, FTP, SUNAPI command, and shutdown automation.
