Hanwha WRT-P-5204W-4TB Wisenet Wave Mini-Tower NVR
The Hanwha WRT-P-5204W-4TB is a compact, enterprise-grade network video recorder designed to deliver reliable surveillance storage and management for mid-scale deployments without requiring dedicated server infrastructure.
Built around a 14th generation Intel Core i5 processor paired with 16GB DDR4 memory, this mini-tower NVR handles multi-stream video processing with minimal latency. The system features 4TB of internal storage capacity, providing scalable retention timelines depending on camera count and frame rate. The 256GB M.2 SSD serves as the operating system drive, enabling fast boot times and responsive system performance critical for continuous surveillance operations.
The compact mini-tower form factor makes the WRT-P-5204W-4TB well-suited for installation in network closets, server rooms, or retail back-office spaces where rack-mount equipment may be impractical. Its black metal chassis provides passive heat dissipation, while the 500W 80 Plus Platinum power supply ensures efficient, reliable operation with minimal energy waste. Operating temperatures between 50°F and 95°F (10°C to 35°C) support standard climate-controlled indoor environments.
ONVIF compatibility ensures seamless integration with third-party IP camera ecosystems, allowing organizations to leverage existing camera investments or mix manufacturers across their surveillance network. This open-standards approach eliminates vendor lock-in and provides flexibility in system expansion or upgrades.
Ideal deployment scenarios include small-to-medium office complexes, retail locations, educational facilities, and light industrial sites requiring local or hybrid cloud recording. The system supports both continuous recording and event-triggered capture modes, accommodating various security postures and storage optimization strategies.
Key Features:
- 14th Gen Intel Core i5 processor with 16GB DDR4 memory
- 4TB dedicated video storage with 256GB M.2 SSD OS drive
- ONVIF-compliant for multi-brand camera compatibility
