Key Capabilities
Integrated 8-Port PoE+ Switch
With 8 PoE+ ports and a 65W shared budget built directly into the unit, there is no need for a separate PoE switch. Cameras receive both data and power over a single Cat cable run, simplifying wiring at the NVR end and reducing hardware costs on smaller installs.
Up to 8MP Recording Across 8 Channels
All 8 channels support resolutions up to 8MP, meaning cameras installed at entrances, car parks, or internal areas can record at full resolution without the NVR downscaling the feed. Combined 60Mbps throughput sustains high-resolution streams across all connected cameras simultaneously.
H.265 Compression
H.265 encoding reduces file sizes compared to H.264 while maintaining the same visual detail, which extends the usable recording period on a given HDD. For a single-bay NVR with a 6TB ceiling, this compression efficiency is important for maximising continuous recording retention.
4K HDMI Local Monitor Output
The 4K HDMI output drives a connected display at full ultra-high-definition resolution, giving on-site operators or security staff a detailed live view across all camera positions. This is useful in reception areas, control rooms, or back offices where local monitoring is part of the daily workflow.
P2P Remote Access via QR Code
Setup for remote viewing requires only a QR code scan in the Wisenet Mobile app on iOS or Android, or Wisenet Viewer on a PC or Mac. This eliminates the need for manual port forwarding on most networks, making commissioning faster for installers and more accessible for end users checking footage off site.

Why Choose the HV-ARN-810S
The HV-ARN-810S addresses a common installer challenge: running 8 PoE cameras without sourcing and cabling a separate PoE switch. By combining the NVR and PoE switching into one unit with 8 dedicated ports and a 65W budget, the installation footprint stays compact and the cable count at the head end is reduced. The 8MP per channel ceiling and H.265 support give this recorder real longevity, handling current Wisenet camera generations at full resolution rather than bottlenecking on the recorder side. The 4K HDMI output and P2P remote access via Wisenet Mobile add practical value for both on-site staff and off-site monitoring. With the installation wizard and dual track recording also included, this NVR is suited to time-sensitive commercial installs where configuration speed matters. Available at Security Wholesalers, the HV-ARN-810S is backed by the Hanwha Vision Wisenet platform and a current firmware update bringing it to v5.05.12.
Buyer Decision Tips
Storage Planning: The HV-ARN-810S accepts a single HDD with a maximum capacity of 6TB. With 8 cameras recording at high resolution using H.265, storage consumption will vary by motion activity and frame rate settings. Calculate your retention requirement before purchase and consider selecting a surveillance-grade drive (WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk) at the highest supported capacity if continuous multi-day recording is needed. If your retention requirements exceed what a single 6TB drive can hold, consider an NVR with multiple HDD bays.
PoE Budget per Camera: The 8 PoE+ ports share a total 65W power budget. Dividing this across 8 cameras leaves approximately 8W per camera on average. Standard IP dome and turret cameras typically draw 5-12W, so most Wisenet cameras will operate within this budget. However, if you intend to connect cameras with active deterrence LEDs, heaters, or motorised lenses that draw closer to 15-25W, check each camera’s PoE draw before committing to an 8-camera layout on this NVR.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail Shopfronts and Store Interiors
Up to 8 cameras covering entry points, point-of-sale areas, and stockrooms can be connected and powered directly from the HV-ARN-810S without a separate switch, making it practical for retail tenancies with limited comms rack space.
Small Office Buildings
Offices covering reception, corridors, car parks, and entry doors fit comfortably within an 8-channel layout. H.265 compression maximises the usable recording time on the single 6TB HDD, and the 4K HDMI output supports a connected monitor at reception or in a server room.
Owner-Operated Business Remote Monitoring
The P2P QR code setup and Wisenet Mobile app allow business owners to check live footage from a smartphone without configuring port forwarding, which is a practical advantage for single-site operators who want straightforward off-site access.
Light Industrial and Warehouse Monitoring
Small warehouses and light industrial sites with loading areas, roller doors, and internal storage zones can be covered across 8 camera positions at up to 8MP resolution per feed, giving sufficient detail for footage review after an incident.
Multi-Tenancy Residential Common Areas
Stairwells, car parks, lobby areas, and building entries in apartment blocks or townhouse complexes can be managed through 8 dedicated PoE camera positions from a single compact NVR, simplifying both installation and ongoing access for body corporate managers.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are installing up to 8 Wisenet IP cameras and want a self-contained unit that handles both PoE switching and recording without a separate network switch. The 8MP per channel ceiling and H.265 support make it compatible with current-generation high-resolution cameras, and P2P remote access via Wisenet Mobile suits sites where end-user app access is expected.
- Choose a different model if: Your system exceeds 8 cameras, or if you need more than 6TB of local storage. A single-bay NVR is a constraint on larger deployments where multi-day retention at high resolution is required. Similarly, if individual cameras in your layout draw above the shared 65W PoE budget when combined, a NVR paired with a dedicated high-wattage PoE switch may be more appropriate.
FAQs
- Does the HV-ARN-810S require a separate PoE switch to power cameras?
No. The HV-ARN-810S includes 8 built-in PoE+ ports with a shared 65W budget. Cameras connect directly to the NVR via Cat cable and receive both power and data from the unit itself. For most standard Wisenet IP cameras drawing under 8W each, the 65W budget is sufficient across all 8 ports simultaneously. - What is the maximum storage this NVR supports?
The HV-ARN-810S has a single HDD bay and supports drives up to 6TB. A surveillance-grade drive such as a WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk is recommended. If you require more than 6TB of local storage, this NVR’s single-bay design is a hard ceiling and a different recorder with multiple bays should be considered. - How does the P2P remote access work on this NVR?
The HV-ARN-810S supports P2P connection via QR code. During setup, the NVR displays a QR code that you scan using the Wisenet Mobile app on iOS or Android, or connect through Wisenet Viewer on a PC or Mac. This method typically avoids the need for manual port forwarding on a standard router, simplifying remote access setup for both installers and end users. - What does dual track recording mean on the HV-ARN-810S?
Dual track recording allows the NVR to store 2 separate video streams per camera simultaneously. This is typically a main stream at high resolution for detailed playback and a sub-stream at lower resolution for efficient remote viewing or bandwidth-sensitive access. Both tracks are stored concurrently on the HDD. - Is there a firmware update available for the HV-ARN-810S?
Yes. Firmware version v5.05.12 is available for the HV-ARN-810S. Keeping the NVR firmware current is important for system stability, compatibility with newer Wisenet cameras, and maintaining any security patches in the Wisenet platform. The update process can be performed via the NVR’s setup interface. - Which cameras are compatible with the HV-ARN-810S?
The HV-ARN-810S is designed for use with Hanwha Vision Wisenet IP cameras that connect over standard Ethernet. It supports ONVIF-compliant cameras as well, though full feature integration is best achieved with cameras within the Wisenet ecosystem. Confirm camera compatibility and PoE draw per unit before finalising a camera selection, particularly if cameras with high-power features are planned. The HV-ARN-810S is available through Security Wholesalers alongside a broad range of compatible Wisenet cameras. - Can the HV-ARN-810S output to a 4K television or monitor?
Yes. The NVR includes a 4K HDMI output, allowing connection to any 4K-capable HDMI display. This makes the local live view and playback interface sharp and detailed when viewed on a compatible monitor or television, which is useful for reception desks, control rooms, or back-of-house monitoring setups where an on-site display is part of the installation.
