Technical Highlights

The XRN-820S employs ONVIF and SUNAPI protocol support for seamless integration with third-party VMS platforms and ensures interoperability across mixed camera ecosystems. Dual-stream recording enables simultaneous high-resolution archival and efficient live streaming, while intelligent event scheduling supports continuous, event-triggered, and bookmark-based recording modes with configurable pre- and post-event buffers.

Display capabilities include dynamic layout and virtual channel viewing with up to 16 division split-screen on local monitors and flexible 1/2H/2V/3V/4/6/8/9 arrangements via web interface. Playback features calendar-based search, event list navigation, text search, and smart search functionality with H.265 support for up to 32MP resolution recovery.

Security features include IP address filtering, user access logging, 802.1x authentication, device certificate encryption via Hanwha Techwin Root CA, and signed firmware. The recorder supports up to 100,000 system and event logs each, with full audit trail capability. Network connectivity includes 8 PoE+ RJ-45 ports (10/100Mbps), 2 dedicated RJ-45 LAN/WAN ports (1Gbps), and comprehensive protocol support: IPv4/IPv6, TCP/IP, UDP/IP, RTP, RTSP, HTTP, DHCP, SMTP, DNS, DDNS, uPnP, HTTPS, and SNMP.

Remote access is supported across iOS and Android devices via WAVE, SSM, Webviewer, Smart Viewer, and Wisenet mobile applications with RTP, RTSP, HTTP, and SUNAPI protocols. Maximum remote users: 3 for search, 10 for live unicast, and 20 for multicast streaming. Web viewer compatibility includes Windows 10, macOS 10.13 and later, with support for Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mac Safari.

Applications

Ideal for retail chains, commercial offices, healthcare facilities, parking facilities, and enterprise campuses requiring centralized video management with high-resolution input capability and redundant failover protection. The compact 370 x 50.7 x 324.3mm form factor and 160W maximum power consumption enable flexible deployment in space-constrained control rooms or network cabinets.

The XRN-820S strikes a practical balance between input density and processing capability for mid-market surveillance deployments. The 120Mbps recording bandwidth paired with 32MP sensor support and H.265 codec efficiency enables 4K-class resolution recording without excessive storage overhead. The dual-monitor output configuration—supporting both UHD single and FHD dual setups—provides flexibility for control room layouts ranging from compact single-operator stations to multi-display command centers.

N+1 failover and ARB redundancy features address business continuity requirements in environments where recording interruption is unacceptable. The 32Mbps playback bandwidth limitation is typical for this class and suitable for standard investigation workflows; users requiring simultaneous high-bandwidth playback across many channels may need to evaluate enterprise-class platforms. Integration with Wisenet AI cameras via object attribute search extends investigative capability, and SUNAPI/ONVIF compliance ensures compatibility with diverse third-party camera and VMS ecosystems. Power efficiency at 160W maximum draws and fanless operation characteristic of this form factor support quiet, low-heat deployment in occupied spaces.
