Hanwha HRX-435 4CH Pentabrid DVR Recorder

Hanwha HRX-435 4CH Pentabrid DVR Recorder

The Hanwha HRX-435 is a compact, enterprise-grade pentabrid DVR designed for hybrid surveillance environments that require seamless integration of legacy analog and modern IP camera technologies. Supporting five video formats—AHD, HDTVI, HDCVI, CVBS, and IP—this 4-channel analog recorder eliminates the need for multiple devices while maintaining backward compatibility with existing infrastructure. With up to 6 networked camera channels, the HRX-435 delivers a unified recording and playback platform for growing surveillance deployments.

Key Features

• 5-in-1 pentabrid architecture: AHD, HDTVI, HDCVI, CVBS, and IP camera support on a single platform
• 4 analog channels + up to 6 network camera channels (total 6CH maximum)
• Up to 8MP resolution recording with H.265, H.264, and MJPEG compression
• Dual SATA HDD slots supporting up to 12TB total storage capacity
• HDMI and VGA simultaneous dual-monitor output for flexible local display configurations
• P2P QR code connectivity for rapid mobile app deployment
• Coaxial control via CVBS, AHD, CVI, and TVI protocols
• Advanced event triggers: motion detection, video loss, tampering, and camera analytics
• Multi-protocol support: SUNAPI (Wisenet), ONVIF, RTP, RTSP, HTTP
• Up to 4 simultaneous users (1 local, 3 remote)

Recording and Playback Performance

The HRX-435 delivers flexible analog recording modes: 8fps@8MP, 12fps@5MP, 15fps@4MP, and 30fps@2MP/720p per channel. Network cameras support typical operation at 120fps@2MP. Main stream bandwidth reaches 30Mbps maximum, while playback bandwidth supports up to 32Mbps with simultaneous 6-channel playback across local monitors, CMS, and Wisenet Mobile platforms. Recording modes include manual, scheduled continuous/event, event with pre/post capture, and dual-track operation for comprehensive coverage.

Connectivity and Management

The compact form factor (370 × 44 × 320mm) integrates 4 BNC analog inputs, 1 BNC spot output, dual Ethernet (10/100 BASE-T), 4 alarm inputs, 2 relay outputs, and 2 front USB 2.0 ports. Coaxial PTZ control supports Pelco-C, Pelco-D, and Pelco-P protocols via RS-485/422. The device supports fisheye dewarping on web and CMS interfaces, with backup options including BU, EXE (with player), and AVI formats. Multi-language support spans 23 languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and more. Security features include IP address filtering, user access logs, 802.1x authentication, and encryption for ID/password, recording, transmission, and backup data.

Applications

Ideal for retail, hospitality, manufacturing, and multi-site operations transitioning from analog to IP-based surveillance. The pentabrid flexibility accommodates mixed camera deployments during infrastructure upgrades, reducing capital expenditure while maintaining system scalability.

The HRX-435 addresses a critical market segment: facilities with significant analog camera investments seeking cost-effective paths to modernization. Its pentabrid design eliminates the need for separate analog and IP recorders, reducing physical footprint and operational overhead. The 6-channel network camera capability, combined with 4 analog channels, enables staged migration strategies where organizations can gradually replace analog cameras without discontinuity.

The 30Mbps main stream and 32Mbps playback bandwidth provide sufficient throughput for mixed-resolution environments, though bandwidth management becomes critical in configurations mixing 8MP analog with 2MP+ network streams. Dual SATA support with 12TB maximum capacity suits small-to-medium deployments, while P2P integration and Wisenet DDNS simplify remote access without complex networking. The device's compact design and modest 40W maximum power consumption make it suitable for distributed deployment across multiple sites, though single-recorder architecture means redundancy requires separate ARB (Archive-Backup) implementation.
