Hanwha ARD-1610-4TB Overview
The Hanwha ARD-1610-4TB is a 5-in-1 pentabrid DVR designed for hybrid surveillance deployments that require flexibility across analog and network camera standards. Supporting 16 analog channels (AHD, TVI, CVI, or CVBS) plus up to 2 additional network channels for a maximum 18-channel configuration, this unit eliminates the need for multiple recorders when migrating from analog to IP infrastructure. The ARD-1610-4TB comes pre-configured with 4TB of internal storage and supports up to two 6TB SATA HDDs for 12TB total capacity, making it ideal for medium-to-large installations requiring extended retention periods.
Hanwha ARD-1610-4TB Key Features
- Pentabrid Input Architecture: Accepts AHD (5MP Half, 4MP Half, 1080p), HD TVI (5MP Half, 4MP Half, 1080p), HD CVI (5MP Half, 4MP Half, 1080p), and CVBS (NTSC/PAL) analog signals on 16 dedicated BNC inputs (1Vp-p, 75 ohm), plus 2 additional network camera channels (up to 5MP) for maximum 18-channel total capacity
- Multi-Codec Recording: H.265, H.264, and MJPEG compression formats enable flexible bitrate optimization and codec-specific VMS compatibility across diverse enterprise environments
- Performance Recording Rates: Delivers 12 fps @ 5MP (half resolution), 15 fps @ 4MP (half resolution), and 15 fps @ 2MP recording across all analog channels with a maximum recording bandwidth of 100 Mbps, supporting continuous monitoring without bottlenecks
- Dual HDD Architecture: Includes 4TB internal drive with field-upgradeable capacity up to 12TB total (two 6TB SATA HDDs), enabling extended retention for high-channel-count deployments without external NAS complexity
- Redundant Video Output: Single HDMI and VGA outputs support independent display configurations; HDMI supports up to 3840 x 2160, 2560 x 1440, 1920 x 1080, 1280 x 1024, and 1280 x 720 resolutions in single-mode or cloned dual-mode output; VGA supports 1920 x 1080, 1280 x 1024, and 1280 x 720; includes dedicated spot monitor output for alarm or event triggering
- Dynamic Display Layouts: Local monitor supports dynamic layout and virtual channel view with up to 20 divisions; web client supports 1/2/3/4/6/1+5/1+7/9 partition configurations for flexible live-view and playback workflows
- Integrated Audio I/O: 4-channel audio input with 1-channel audio output enables two-way communication, event-triggered alerting, and integration with intercom or emergency notification systems
- Alarm and Control Interfaces: 4 alarm inputs and 1 relay output support external sensors, motion triggers, and automated responses; coaxial control enables PTZ or camera configuration without separate control lines
- Event-Driven Recording: Video loss, motion detection, tampering, and camera events (sensor, motion analytics, video analytics) trigger pre-event and post-event recording; network cameras support VA events including tampering, enter/exit, passing, virtual-line, appear/disappear, face detection, and audio detection
- P2P Remote Access: QR code-based quick-connect integration with Wisenet Viewer and Wisenet Mobile app eliminates complex port forwarding and enables secure off-site monitoring from iOS/Android devices
- Compliance & Security: NDAA and FCC compliant; embedded Linux operating system with support for SUNAPI (Wisenet proprietary) and ONVIF protocols ensures vendor neutrality and enterprise integration
Hanwha ARD-1610-4TB Integration & Compatibility
The ARD-1610-4TB supports SUNAPI (Hanwha Wisenet native) and ONVIF protocols, enabling integration with ONVIF-compliant VMS platforms, third-party IP cameras, and enterprise surveillance software. Network camera inputs accept up to 5MP resolution and CIF through 5MP via ONVIF or Wisenet camera protocols. Local display outputs (HDMI and VGA) support dynamic multi-screen layouts with up to 20 divisions, accommodating control room monitoring and SOC environments. Coaxial control compatibility allows integration with standard PTZ or camera configuration systems without additional wiring. FTP event export and email alerting enable integration with security operations workflows.
