Product SKU: XRN-3220B2
Product Overview
Enterprise surveillance deployments demand recording infrastructure that can keep pace with the cameras connected to it. The Hanwha Vision XRN-3220B2 is a 32-channel network video recorder built for large professional installations where resolution, throughput and storage depth are non-negotiable. Powered by an Intel 12th generation processor with built-in Trusted Platform Module security, it handles simultaneous recording across all 32 channels at resolutions up to 32 megapixels, covering the full capability of modern ultra-high-definition IP cameras. Eight internal SATA drive bays provide the physical foundation for extended on-site retention, reducing how frequently operators need to manage archival cycles. Dual monitor output supporting both 4K and Full HD gives control room operators the flexibility to configure live view layouts to match their operational requirements. It is well suited to enterprise campuses, transport infrastructure, industrial complexes and centralised monitoring hubs where uptime and data integrity are critical.
Key Capabilities
32-Channel IP Camera Support
Connects and records up to 32 network cameras simultaneously, providing the channel depth required for comprehensive coverage across large or multi-zone sites without the need for additional recording hardware.
32 MP Resolution Recording
Supports incoming streams up to 32 megapixels, meaning ultra-high-definition cameras operate at full resolution rather than being downscaled at the recorder. This preserves evidentiary image detail for post-incident review.
Eight SATA Drive Bays
Eight internal SATA HDD bays allow substantial on-site storage to be configured, supporting extended footage retention across all 32 channels and reducing the operational burden of managing overwrite cycles or off-site archiving.
Intel 12th Gen Processing
The Intel 12th generation CPU delivers the processing throughput needed to manage high-bandwidth multi-channel recording and playback concurrently, keeping system response smooth during demanding simultaneous operations.
Built-In TPM Cybersecurity
A Trusted Platform Module provides hardware-level security protections, helping safeguard recorded data and system access against tampering. This is particularly relevant for government, infrastructure and enterprise deployments with compliance requirements.
Dual Monitor Output
Supports simultaneous output to two displays at 4K and Full HD respectively, allowing control room operators to run a primary overview screen alongside a secondary detail view without additional video distribution hardware.
Best For
- Large Enterprise Sites: The 32-channel capacity and high-bandwidth processing allow comprehensive camera coverage across multi-building or multi-zone commercial and institutional campuses from a single recorder.
- Control Room Operations: Dual monitor output with flexible layout options suits centralised monitoring environments where operators manage live views and recordings across numerous camera positions simultaneously.
- High-Resolution Camera Deployments: Installations using ultra-high-definition Hanwha Vision cameras can record at up to 32 MP, preserving the full image detail these cameras are capable of delivering.
- Sites Requiring Extended Retention: Eight SATA bays provide the physical capacity for high-volume storage builds, making this recorder suited to environments where lengthy retention periods are mandated by policy or regulation.
Why Choose the XRN-3220B2
The XRN-3220B2 is positioned at the upper tier of Hanwha Vision’s NVR range, and the specification reflects that. Where lower-channel recorders cap out at 4K or 8 MP, this unit handles streams up to 32 MP, keeping pace with the most demanding camera resolutions currently available in the Hanwha ecosystem. The Intel 12th generation processor ensures that simultaneous 32-channel recording and playback does not become a bottleneck, and the Trusted Platform Module adds a layer of hardware security that entry-level units do not offer. Eight SATA bays provide genuine storage scalability rather than a configuration that forces early overwrite cycles. For system integrators and enterprise security managers, this recorder is available at Security Wholesalers as part of the Hanwha Vision professional range, backed by local support and access to compatible camera stock.
Buyer Decision Tips
Storage Planning: Eight SATA bays give you significant capacity headroom, but the total retention period depends on the number of active cameras, their recording resolution and frame rate, and the size of drives installed. Before specifying drive capacity, calculate your estimated daily data volume across all 32 channels at the target resolution. For 32 MP cameras recording continuously, drive requirements grow substantially faster than with standard 4K or 8 MP streams. Factor in your required retention period and whether any channels will use motion-triggered recording to reduce storage consumption.
Camera Compatibility: The XRN-3220B2 is designed to operate within the Hanwha Vision ecosystem and delivers full feature integration with Hanwha IP cameras, including AI-based analytics passthrough and remote management via Hanwha’s VMS platforms. Third-party ONVIF cameras may connect for basic recording, but advanced analytics and seamless integration are best achieved with compatible Hanwha Vision cameras. Confirm camera compatibility against the Hanwha Vision supported device list before finalising your system design.

Ideal Use Cases
Enterprise Campuses
Multi-building campuses with distributed camera points can consolidate recording into a single 32-channel recorder, with dual monitor output supporting a central control room or security office layout.
Transport and Transit Hubs
Stations, terminals and transit platforms benefit from the high channel count and 32 MP recording support, ensuring cameras covering ticket halls, platforms and entry points capture footage with sufficient detail for incident investigation.
Industrial Facilities
Warehouses, manufacturing plants and industrial yards with perimeter and internal cameras gain from extended storage retention via the eight SATA bays, reducing the frequency of manual data management on high-volume sites.
Government and Public Infrastructure
The built-in TPM and cybersecurity architecture address data integrity requirements common in government and public sector deployments, where hardware-level security protections are often specified alongside physical surveillance.
Centralised Monitoring Rooms
Dual 4K and Full HD display outputs allow operators to run multiple layout views from a single recorder, supporting professional control room configurations without requiring external video distribution equipment.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your installation requires 32 camera channels, recording resolutions up to 32 MP, extended on-site storage across 8 drive bays, and a processor capable of handling high-bandwidth simultaneous recording and playback in a professional or enterprise environment.
- Choose a different model if: Your site requires fewer than 16 camera channels, as a lower-channel NVR will be more cost-effective and appropriately sized. Similarly, if your cameras do not exceed 8 MP or 4K resolution, the processing overhead of this unit may exceed what your system actually needs.
- Choose a different model if: Your deployment requires PoE switching built into the recorder itself. The XRN-3220B2 is a dedicated NVR without integrated PoE ports, so camera power will need to be sourced through a separate PoE switch or managed switch infrastructure.
