Hanwha XRN-1620SB1 RB 16-Channel 8K NVR
The Hanwha XRN-1620SB1 RB is an Intel-based embedded Linux NVR engineered for high-resolution IP camera surveillance in enterprise and large-scale deployments. This 16-channel network video recorder delivers 32 MP recording capability with integrated PoE+ power distribution, unified video management across all camera inputs, and flexible compression standards for efficient storage and retrieval.
Key Features
- 32 MP Recording and Display Support – Captures forensically rich video up to 32 MP resolution with H.265 codec at 15 fps, 12 MP at 30 fps, and 8.3 MP at 50 fps in FHD clone mode for detailed evidence archival and real-time high-resolution monitoring
- 16 Integrated PoE+ Ports with 200W Budget – All 16 camera inputs include built-in PoE+ (802.3at) power delivery rated at 200W total, eliminating external PoE injectors and simplifying network infrastructure
- Flexible Compression Standards – Records in H.265 for bandwidth-efficient storage, H.264 for broad compatibility, and MJPEG for motion-only scenarios with simultaneous dual-stream recording to serve different playback and archival requirements
- 140 Mbps Recording Bandwidth – Handles continuous recording across all 16 channels at 140 Mbps aggregate throughput for uninterrupted surveillance capture
- 32 Mbps Playback Bandwidth – Independent playback throughput supports parallel video retrieval without impacting live recording performance
- Dual Video Output Monitors – Simultaneous display outputs enable independent monitoring and configuration workflows on separate displays
Technical Highlights
The XRN-1620SB1 RB combines Intel processor architecture with embedded Linux for reliable, scalable video management. H.265 video compression significantly reduces bandwidth and storage requirements compared to legacy codecs, while maintaining quality for forensic review. The 200W PoE+ budget accommodates power-hungry dome cameras, PTZ units, and IR illuminators without auxiliary power supplies. Dual compression and dual-stream capabilities enable simultaneous recording and playback workflows, critical for security operations centers managing continuous surveillance with on-demand investigation access.
Applications
- Large retail and hospitality environments requiring 16-channel unified recording
- Transportation hubs, parking facilities, and perimeter security installations
- Enterprise campuses, data centers, and critical infrastructure monitoring
- Municipal and government surveillance deployments with forensic archival requirements
The XRN-1620SB1 RB represents a mature, purpose-built solution for mid-to-large IP surveillance networks. The integrated PoE+ eliminates PoE midspans and external power distribution complexity, reducing installation costs and cabinet space. H.265 compression is essential for 32 MP feeds—raw bandwidth at full resolution would exceed industry-standard network pipes, making efficient compression a practical necessity rather than an option.
The dual compression and playback bandwidth separation ensures that security operators can retrieve evidence without disrupting live monitoring, a critical operational requirement in continuous surveillance environments. Intel-based architecture provides compatibility with standard monitoring software and integration frameworks common in enterprise deployments.
