Hanwha CMVR-524+ Wisenet SKY Cloud Video Recorder

Hanwha CMVR-524+ Wisenet SKY Cloud Video Recorder

The Hanwha CMVR-524+ is an enterprise-grade hybrid cloud video recorder designed for organizations requiring flexible deployment of on-premises storage with secure cloud gateway connectivity. This compact 1U rack-mount system bridges local recording infrastructure with Wisenet SKY Cloud VMS, enabling distributed surveillance operations across multiple sites while maintaining high-capacity local storage and extended retention periods.

Key Features

• Hybrid architecture: local RAID storage with cloud gateway functionality for redundancy and flexibility
• Supports up to 150 cameras at 1MP, 120 cameras at 4MP, or 40 cameras with advanced analytics enabled
• Configurable storage: 40TB, 48TB, 64TB (RAID5—30 days), 66TB, or 72TB (RAID6—40 days retention)
• Dual gigabit ethernet RJ-45 ports for network redundancy and load balancing
• Multiple video outputs: VGA, HDMI, and DisplayPort for flexible monitoring and playback
• Compact 1U form factor (17.20 x 19.85 x 1.70 inches) with included rack mount brackets
• Embedded Linux operating system for stability, security, and minimal maintenance overhead
• Internal power supply (160W–210W) with 100–240V AC input for global deployment
• Full compliance: FCC, UL, PSE, CE, CCC, REACH, RoHS, and NDAA certifications

• Camera Support: 150 @ 1MP / 120 @ 4MP / 40 with analytics
• Storage Configurations: RAID5 (40TB, 48TB, 64TB) or RAID6 (66TB, 72TB)
• Network Connectivity: Dual gigabit ethernet with redundancy support
• Video Outputs: 1x VGA, 1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort
• Ports: 2x USB 3.0, dual gigabit RJ-45
• Power: 160W–210W internal; 100–240V AC
• Operating Conditions: 0–35°C (32–95°F); 0–70% RH non-condensing
• Form Factor: 1U rack mount or shelf/tabletop with metal construction (black and silver)

Applications

Ideal for multi-site enterprise deployments, the CMVR-524+ serves retail chains, logistics networks, manufacturing facilities, and government installations requiring centralized cloud visibility with local recording autonomy. Its high camera capacity, extended storage options, and dual-network architecture ensure 24/7 operational continuity and compliance with data retention mandates.

The CMVR-524+ represents Hanwha's mature approach to hybrid surveillance infrastructure. The provision of three storage tiers (40TB, 48TB, 64TB/RAID5 or 66TB, 72TB/RAID6) allows organizations to balance cost, redundancy, and retention without oversizing. Support for up to 150 cameras at 1MP is substantial for mid-market and enterprise deployments, while the 40-camera analytics tier acknowledges the CPU/memory trade-off when running real-time AI processing.

Dual gigabit ethernet with redundancy is critical for organizations where recorder downtime creates compliance exposure. The Embedded Linux OS and NDAA compliance signal Hanwha's targeting of U.S. federal and defense sectors. Extended operating temperature range (0–35°C) accommodates outdoor or less-conditioned environments common in logistics.

Compact 1U form factor reduces data center footprint compared to larger 2U models. The system's role as a cloud gateway—not a replacement for local NVRs—suits hybrid-cloud migration strategies where organizations phase in cloud capability without abandoning proven on-premises workflows.
