Hanwha WRT-P-5204W-36TB 4-Bay Mini-Tower NVR
The Hanwha WRT-P-5204W-36TB is a compact 4-bay network video recorder designed for small-to-medium security deployments requiring reliable, centralized video storage and management.
Built around an Intel Core i5 14th Generation processor and 16GB DDR4 memory, this NVR delivers responsive performance for simultaneous recording, playback, and live monitoring across multiple IP camera feeds. The system includes 1 x 256GB M.2 SSD for the operating system, ensuring fast boot times and stable platform operation. The 36TB total storage capacity (across four drive bays) accommodates extended retention periods for mid-scale surveillance networks, with flexibility to configure drives according to retention and redundancy requirements.
The mini-tower form factor and compact footprint make the WRT-P-5204W-36TB ideal for installation in server closets, control rooms, or network racks where space is limited but processing power cannot be compromised. The rugged metal chassis and 500W 80 Plus Platinum power supply provide dependable operation in 24/7 environments. Operating temperature range of 50°F to 95°F (10°C to 35°C) suits standard indoor climate-controlled facilities.
Full ONVIF compliance ensures seamless integration with third-party IP cameras from major manufacturers, eliminating vendor lock-in and simplifying system expansion. This interoperability is critical for organizations with mixed-brand camera deployments or those planning gradual infrastructure upgrades.
Typical deployment scenarios include retail locations requiring integrated point-of-sale event correlation, light industrial facilities with multiple building sections, corporate office complexes, and educational institutions managing distributed camera networks across campuses.
