Product SKU: QRN-810S
Product Overview
Built around an 8-channel PoE architecture, the Hanwha Wisenet QRN-810S is a compact NVR designed for small to medium IP camera installations where straightforward deployment and high-resolution recording both matter. With 8 built-in PoE ports, cameras connect directly to the recorder without a separate network switch, simplifying rack space and reducing installation time. The QRN-810S supports cameras up to 8 megapixels and delivers local HDMI monitor output at 4K resolution (3840×2160), making it suited to installations where live viewing clarity is a priority alongside recorded footage. H.265 compression across all channels reduces storage demands by up to 50 per cent compared to H.264, extending usable recording time on the included 3TB HDD. The single SATA bay accepts drives up to 6TB for expanded retention. P2P connectivity via QR code allows remote access setup without complex network configuration, making the QRN-810S a practical choice for security integrators and end users managing smaller Hanwha Wisenet camera deployments.
Key Capabilities
8 Built-In PoE Ports
The integrated PoE switch powers and connects up to 8 IP cameras directly to the NVR over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable per camera, removing the need for a separate PoE switch and keeping the installation clean and cost-effective.
4K Recording and HDMI Output
Supporting cameras up to 8 megapixels and producing HDMI output at 3840×2160, the QRN-810S ensures that both recorded footage and live display benefit from full 4K resolution where connected cameras support it.
H.265 Compression
H.265 encoding reduces file sizes by up to 50 per cent compared to H.264 at equivalent quality, allowing the 3TB HDD to store significantly more footage and lowering the cost per day of retention across all 8 channels.
80Mbps Network Recording Throughput
With an 80Mbps total incoming bandwidth, the QRN-810S can sustain simultaneous high-bitrate streams across all 8 channels without dropping frames or throttling individual cameras during peak recording periods.
P2P Remote Access via QR Code
The built-in P2P service allows remote viewing to be configured by scanning a QR code through the Wisenet mobile application, bypassing the need for manual port forwarding on most standard router configurations.
Best For
- Small Business and Retail Installations: The 8-channel PoE layout suits shopfronts, offices, and small commercial premises needing a self-contained IP camera system without additional switching hardware.
- Sites Requiring 4K Local Monitoring: HDMI output at 3840×2160 means the QRN-810S can drive a 4K display at the monitoring point, supporting operators who need to identify fine detail in live view.
- Deployments with Storage Cost Constraints: H.265 compression paired with the included 3TB HDD and support for drives up to 6TB makes this NVR suitable where extended retention is needed on a limited storage budget.
- Installers Needing Simple Remote Setup: QR code-based P2P connectivity reduces commissioning time when setting up remote viewing for clients who are not comfortable with manual network configuration.
Why Choose the QRN-810S
The QRN-810S sits in a practical position for installations that need genuine 4K recording capability, built-in PoE, and a straightforward setup process without the cost of a full rack-mounted system. Unlike basic NVRs that cap out at 1080p or require an external PoE switch, the QRN-810S brings 8 powered camera ports and 8MP recording into a single desktop unit. The 80Mbps recording bandwidth ensures high-bitrate cameras are not throttled, and H.265 support meaningfully extends how many days of footage the installed drive can hold. The P2P QR code remote access feature reduces the time spent on network configuration at commissioning. For integrators and end users looking for a compact, capable Hanwha Wisenet NVR at this channel count, the QRN-810S is available at Security Wholesalers with the 3TB HDD pre-installed and ready to deploy.
Buyer Decision Tips
Storage Planning: The QRN-810S has a single SATA bay, so maximum local storage is capped at 6TB regardless of drive configuration. Before committing to this NVR, calculate your required retention period using the actual bitrate of your chosen cameras across all 8 channels. At high bitrates across all channels simultaneously, the included 3TB drive may cover only a few days. If your site requires 30 or more days of retention, either select cameras with lower configured bitrates or plan for supplementary network storage.
Camera Compatibility: The QRN-810S is optimised for Hanwha Wisenet IP cameras and supports ONVIF-compliant third-party cameras, but advanced features such as motion detection overlays, AI analytics integration, and camera-specific event triggers are only fully supported with Wisenet-native cameras. If your installation uses a mix of brands, verify ONVIF profile compatibility before purchase to avoid losing access to event-based recording functions.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your installation requires up to 8 Hanwha Wisenet IP cameras with built-in PoE, 4K recording capability, and a compact desktop form factor where a single HDD bay providing up to 6TB of storage is sufficient for your retention requirements.
- Choose a different model if: Your site needs more than 8 channels, requires redundant or multiple HDD bays for longer retention without swapping drives, or demands higher total recording bandwidth to accommodate large numbers of high-bitrate 4K streams simultaneously. In those cases, consider a higher-channel NVR with multi-bay storage support.
FAQs
- Does the QRN-810S come with a hard drive pre-installed?
Yes. The QRN-810S is supplied with a 3TB HDD already installed in the single SATA bay. The bay supports drives up to 6TB, so you can upgrade the installed drive at any point if your retention requirements grow. No additional HDD purchase is needed to start recording immediately after installation.
- Can I connect cameras from other brands to the QRN-810S?
The QRN-810S supports ONVIF-compliant IP cameras from third-party manufacturers in addition to native Hanwha Wisenet cameras. However, advanced features including analytics integration, deep event triggers, and camera-specific configuration options are only available with Wisenet-native cameras. Basic recording and live view should function with ONVIF-compliant cameras, but verify compatibility with specific third-party models before deployment.
- How many days of footage will the included 3TB HDD store?
Recording duration depends on the bitrate configured on each connected camera, the number of cameras recording simultaneously, and whether continuous or motion-triggered recording is used. At lower bitrates across all 8 channels with H.265 compression enabled, retention of 7 to 14 days is achievable. At higher bitrates, this reduces. Use Hanwha’s storage calculator or consult your installer to estimate retention before finalising your configuration.
- Do all 8 PoE ports provide power and data simultaneously?
Yes. All 8 ports on the QRN-810S function as both data and power delivery ports simultaneously, allowing cameras to be powered directly from the NVR without a separate PoE injector or switch. This supports a genuine plug-and-play installation for all 8 channels, provided each camera’s power draw falls within the individual port’s PoE budget.
- How does the P2P QR code remote access work?
The QRN-810S includes a built-in P2P service that generates a unique QR code for the unit. Scanning this code within the compatible Wisenet mobile application establishes a remote connection without requiring manual port forwarding on the local router. This simplifies remote access setup for end users and reduces commissioning time for installers. An active internet connection on the NVR’s network is required for P2P to function.
- Is the QRN-810S suitable for use with 4K cameras, and will it display 4K footage on a standard monitor?
The QRN-810S records cameras up to 8 megapixels and outputs via HDMI at up to 3840×2160. To view 4K footage locally at full resolution, a 4K-capable HDMI display is required. On a 1080p monitor, footage will downscale to fit the display but will still play back correctly. Available through Security Wholesalers, the QRN-810S is one of the more accessible entry points into 4K Hanwha Wisenet NVR recording at the 8-channel level.
