Hanwha PRN-6400DB4 64-Channel 8K NVR 96TB
The Hanwha PRN-6400DB4 is an Intel-based 64-channel network video recorder engineered for large-scale surveillance deployments requiring exceptional resolution, bandwidth efficiency, and storage scalability. Supporting up to 32MP resolution per channel with H.265 codec compression, this license-free NVR delivers enterprise-grade performance for critical infrastructure, municipal facilities, and complex security operations where high-fidelity recording and reliable playback are non-negotiable.
Key Features
- 64-channel IP camera support at up to 32MP resolution with dual-stream recording capability
- 96TB raw storage capacity using 16 fixed internal SATA HDDs (10TB maximum per drive)
- 400 Mbps recording bandwidth (distributed mode) with efficient codec flexibility
- H.265, H.264, MJPEG, and WiseStream codec support for optimized compression and compatibility
- RAID 5 & 6 protection with Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB) for data integrity
- Dual HDMI output: 4K at 30Hz (HDMI 1) and 1080p at 60Hz (HDMI 2)
- Advanced display modes including up to 64-channel clone layout and 36-division expand mode
- Web UI 2.0 with flexible multi-screen layout options (1, 2H, 2V, 3V, 4, 6, 8, 9 divisions)
- 32MP local playback and recording capability with fisheye dewarping support
- ONVIF compliance and WiseStream integration for intelligent video management
Recording & Storage Specifications
This NVR delivers 400 Mbps recording bandwidth in distributed mode, 150 Mbps in normal mode, and 320 Mbps during RAID degrade/rebuild scenarios. Flexible recording modes include Normal, Schedule (Continuous/Event), and Event (Pre/Post) configurations. Up to 32 Mbps playback bandwidth supports simultaneous multi-user access, while dual-stream recording enables independent bitrate optimization for archive and live monitoring streams.
Display & Monitoring Capabilities
The dual-display architecture supports independent output configurations, allowing simultaneous 4K monitoring on primary displays and 1080p on secondary displays. Local multi-screen display supports dynamic layout reconfiguration, virtual channel view, and expanded 36-division clone mode for comprehensive site surveillance visualization.
Ideal Applications
- Enterprise campuses and corporate security operations
- Municipal and government facility surveillance
- Critical infrastructure protection (utilities, transportation, communications)
- Large retail and commercial properties requiring high-resolution recording
- Healthcare facilities with extensive camera deployments
- Financial institutions and data centers
Ted PerryPerspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.
The PRN-6400DB4 represents a professional-grade solution for organizations requiring massive recording capacity without licensing overhead. The 96TB architecture with RAID protection balances raw storage against redundancy requirements typical of mission-critical deployments. H.265 codec efficiency is essential at 32MP resolution; the distributed 400 Mbps bandwidth demonstrates Hanwha's optimization for multi-stream, high-resolution environments.
The dual-display output strategy reflects real-world control room requirements where 4K monitoring coexists with legacy 1080p infrastructure. RAID 5/6 with ARB is standard practice in security-grade NVRs, though administrators should verify retention policies align with regulatory compliance timelines for their vertical.
