Product SKU: HanwhaKit_16CH_NoHDD
Product Overview
Built around a 16-channel Wisenet PoE NVR and 4 outdoor flateye cameras, this Hanwha 5MP kit is sized for small-to-medium commercial and residential installations that need room to grow. The bundle pairs the HAN-QRN-1630S recorder with 4 x HAN-QNE-8011R flateye turret cameras, each delivering 5MP resolution at up to 30fps using H.265 compression. WiseStream II technology reduces bandwidth by up to 50 percent over H.264 alone, keeping storage and network demands manageable across all 4 camera feeds. Each camera carries an IP67 weather rating and IK10 impact rating, supporting outdoor mounting on eaves, soffits, and building facades. The 2.8mm fixed lens provides a wide coverage angle suited to entry points, car parks, and courtyards. With 12 unused PoE ports remaining on the NVR, the system accepts expansion well beyond the initial 4-camera deployment. No HDD is included, allowing the installer or end user to select the right storage capacity separately.
Key Capabilities
5MP Flateye Turret Cameras
The HAN-QNE-8011R produces 2592 x 1944 resolution at 30fps, giving investigators enough detail for forensic review of faces or number plates at entry points and pedestrian zones. The flat-face lens design reduces contamination build-up and removes the need to dismount a dome cover during installation.
16-Channel PoE NVR with Expansion Headroom
The HAN-QRN-1630S supports up to 16 PoE cameras and handles streams up to 8MP, so this 4-camera starter kit can scale to a full 16-camera deployment without replacing the recorder. A single Cat5e or Cat6 cable per camera carries both data and power, simplifying installation runs.
H.265 and WiseStream II Compression
H.265 combined with WiseStream II can cut bandwidth consumption by up to 75 percent compared to standard H.264. This directly reduces HDD wear and extends recording retention, which matters when running 4 cameras continuously at 5MP resolution.
120dB WDR for Mixed Lighting Scenes
Each camera includes 120dB Wide Dynamic Range, enabling clear capture in scenes where bright exterior light meets shadowed areas, such as shopfront entries, loading bay doors, and covered car park exits. This prevents the washed-out or silhouetted images common in high-contrast environments.
IP67 and IK10 Outdoor Protection
IP67 dust and water ingress protection combined with IK10 impact resistance means each HAN-QNE-8011R can be mounted on external walls and eaves without additional housings. The IK10 rating is useful in accessible public-facing locations where the camera may be subject to physical interference.
Flexible Storage Options
The HAN-QRN-1630S includes 2 SATA drive bays supporting a maximum of 20TB total storage. Sold without a HDD, the kit allows the buyer to match storage size to the retention period and frame rate required. Each camera also accepts a Micro SD card up to 128GB for local edge recording backup.
Best For
- Multi-Zone Commercial Sites: The 16-channel NVR supports up to 12 additional cameras beyond the included 4, making this kit appropriate for retail premises, small offices, or light industrial sites planning a staged rollout.
- Outdoor Entry and Perimeter Coverage: The 2.8mm wide-angle lens and IP67 plus IK10 ratings on the HAN-QNE-8011R suit eave-mounted positions covering driveways, car parks, building entries, and loading areas.
- Installers Seeking Simplified Cabling: With all cameras powered directly over the NVR’s built-in PoE ports, there is no requirement for a separate PoE switch, reducing hardware complexity and installation time.
- Sites with Variable Lighting Conditions: The 120dB WDR and 20m IR range on each camera handle mixed indoor-outdoor light transitions at entries and shopfronts where automatic exposure struggles.
- Buyers Choosing Their Own Storage: The No HDD configuration suits installers or end users who already hold compatible surveillance-rated drives or want to select capacity based on their specific retention requirements.
Why Choose the Hanwha 5MP 4 x NEW-Q Turret & 16CH NVR CCTV Kit
This kit pairs 2 well-matched Hanwha Wisenet components rather than combining a capable NVR with underpowered cameras. The HAN-QRN-1630S is rated for streams up to 8MP across all 16 channels, so the 5MP HAN-QNE-8011R cameras operate well within the recorder’s processing capacity. A basic 4-camera kit built on a lower-spec NVR leaves no room to expand without replacing the recorder. Here, 12 ports remain available for future cameras of the same or higher resolution. WiseStream II compression, supported across both the cameras and the NVR, reduces storage consumption meaningfully, stretching retention from a given drive size compared to H.264-only systems. The flateye housing on the cameras reduces dome scratching and simplifies lens cleaning in dusty or outdoor environments. This kit is available through Security Wholesalers alongside compatible surveillance HDDs if storage needs to be added at the time of purchase.

Buyer Decision Tips
Storage Planning: The HAN-QRN-1630S accepts up to 20TB across 2 SATA bays. Running 4 cameras at 5MP with H.265 and WiseStream II, a 4TB surveillance-rated drive typically provides 30 or more days of continuous recording depending on scene complexity and frame rate. If retention requirements exceed 30 days or you plan to add more cameras later, consider adding a 6TB or 8TB drive at the time of purchase rather than replacing a smaller drive later.
Expansion Planning: This kit ships with 4 cameras connected to a 16-channel NVR. Each additional camera added later must be a Hanwha Wisenet-compatible IP camera within the HAN-QRN-1630S resolution and bandwidth limits (8MP per channel, 128Mbps total). If you expect to deploy more than 16 cameras across the site in future, factor that into the recorder selection before installation begins, as replacing an NVR after cabling is complete adds significant labour cost.

Ideal Use Cases
Small Retail Premises
4 cameras cover the key zones of most small retail stores: entrance, counter, stockroom door, and rear exit. The 5MP resolution supports forensic review of faces and transactions. The 16-channel NVR allows additional cameras to be added if the premises expands or the fitout changes.
Commercial Car Parks
The 2.8mm wide-angle lens and 120dB WDR handle the broad coverage and mixed lighting typical of car parks, where vehicles move between shaded bays and brightly lit entry lanes. IP67 and IK10 protection suit exposed column and wall mounting positions.
Office Building Entries and Lobbies
The flateye turret housing mounts cleanly on eaves and soffits above entry doors. The IK10 rating adds resilience in ground-floor public access points. The 5MP resolution provides detail for identifying individuals entering or exiting controlled areas.
Multi-Building or Staged Site Deployments
With 12 PoE ports unused from the outset, this kit supports a staged rollout across multiple building zones or entrances. Cameras can be added in groups without replacing the NVR, keeping the infrastructure investment aligned with the deployment timeline.
Warehouses and Light Industrial Facilities
The 20m IR range and wide-angle 2.8mm lens cover loading areas and internal access routes under low-light conditions. WiseStream II compression reduces bandwidth strain when recording across multiple high-resolution feeds from cameras mounted on warehouse walls and roller door frames.
Residential Properties with Perimeter Monitoring
For larger homes or properties with multiple entry points, 4 cameras covering driveways, gates, and side access paths provide a complete perimeter overview. The Micro SD edge storage on each camera offers a local recording backup independent of the NVR, adding redundancy to the system.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need a scalable 16-channel IP system starting with 4 x 5MP outdoor cameras, want PoE simplicity without a separate switch, and plan to select your own surveillance HDD based on site-specific retention requirements.
- Choose a different kit if: Your site only ever needs 4 cameras with no expansion planned – a purpose-sized 4-channel NVR bundle will cost less upfront. Alternatively, if longer IR range is required for open outdoor approaches beyond 20m, look for cameras with a confirmed extended IR specification rather than substituting with this fixed 20m model.
- Choose a different kit if: Colour night vision without IR is a specific requirement for your site – the HAN-QNE-8011R uses IR illumination for low-light capture rather than ambient-light colour technology, which suits most applications but is not suited to sites where IR glare or white-balance issues near reflective surfaces are a known concern.
FAQs
- Why does this kit come without a hard drive?
Selling the kit without a HDD allows the installer or end user to choose a drive size matched to their actual retention requirements and camera count. The HAN-QRN-1630S supports 2 SATA drives up to 20TB total, so storage can be sized correctly for the site rather than defaulting to a preset capacity that may be too small or larger than needed.
- How many cameras can I add to the NVR beyond the included 4?
The HAN-QRN-1630S supports 16 PoE cameras in total, so this kit has 12 ports available for expansion. Each additional camera must be a compatible Wisenet IP camera operating within the recorder’s 128Mbps total bandwidth limit and up to 8MP per channel.
- What does the flateye turret housing offer compared to a standard dome?
The flat-face lens design on the HAN-QNE-8011R eliminates the curved dome cover that can collect dust, scratches, and water spots that reduce image quality over time. It also removes a step from the installation process, as there is no dome cover to dismount when adjusting the camera angle after initial installation.
- Can the cameras handle outdoor mounting in Australian weather conditions?
Yes. Each HAN-QNE-8011R carries an IP67 rating, confirming complete dust ingress protection and resistance to immersion in up to 1 metre of water for 30 minutes. The IK10 impact rating adds resistance to physical force. Both ratings support direct outdoor exposure on building exteriors, eaves, and soffits without additional weatherproof housings.
- Does the WiseStream II compression actually make a significant difference to storage use?
Yes. Hanwha’s WiseStream II applies variable compression based on scene complexity, applying higher compression to static areas of the frame and lower compression where motion is detected. Combined with H.265, this can reduce bandwidth and storage use by up to 75 percent compared to standard H.264 recording. For a 4-camera 5MP system, the difference between H.264 and H.265 with WiseStream II can be several terabytes over a 30-day period.
- Does each camera support local recording independent of the NVR?
Yes. Each HAN-QNE-8011R includes a Micro SD card slot supporting cards up to 128GB (SD, SDHC, SDXC formats). This allows each camera to record locally even if the NVR is offline or the network connection is interrupted, providing a recording fallback at the camera level without additional hardware.
- Where can I purchase a compatible surveillance HDD to add to this kit?
Compatible surveillance-rated hard drives in 3TB, 4TB, 6TB, and 8TB capacities are available at Security Wholesalers and can be added to the cart alongside this kit. Surveillance-rated drives from WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk are recommended over standard desktop drives, as they are designed for the continuous write cycles associated with CCTV recording.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat5e (minimum) or Cat6 recommended for all camera runs. Cat6 is preferred for longer runs or installations in electrically noisy environments such as warehouses with heavy machinery.
- Maximum PoE Cable Run: 100 metres per camera from the HAN-QRN-1630S NVR PoE port to the camera, as per the IEEE 802.3 standard. Runs exceeding 100 metres require a PoE extender or a mid-span injector with a separate switch segment.
- PoE Considerations: All 4 cameras are powered directly from the NVR’s built-in PoE ports, so no external PoE switch is required for this 4-camera configuration. Each camera must be connected to its own individual NVR port. Verify the NVR’s total PoE power budget when adding additional cameras, particularly if higher-wattage models are introduced later.
- Wiring Tips: Terminate cables with RJ45 connectors rated for the cable category used. Use weatherproof RJ45 boots or conduit entry points at external wall penetrations to prevent water ingress along the cable into wall cavities. Label each cable at both ends during installation to simplify future fault finding and camera additions.
