Hanwha Wisenet WAVE Embedded NVR License (WAVE-EMB-04) — 4-Channel Hanwha-NVR Integration into WAVE VMS

Wisenet WAVE-EMB-04 — 4-Channel Embedded NVR Integration License for WAVE VMS

The Hanwha Wisenet WAVE Embedded NVR License (WAVE-EMB-04) is a software license from Hanwha Vision’s Wisenet WAVE VMS platform — enables live-view, search, playback, and backup of Hanwha NVR-stored video within the unified Wisenet WAVE VMS interface. Each license covers 4 channels per Hanwha NVR; multiple licenses stack for larger NVRs (e.g. 4 × WAVE-EMB-04 = 16 channels). Lifetime license — no annual maintenance fee, no expiration, and includes lifetime software upgrades. The integration path for Chicago commercial properties bringing existing Hanwha NVR fleets into the unified Wisenet WAVE management platform without replacing recorders.

Why a Wisenet WAVE Integration License

Many Chicago commercial properties run multiple Hanwha NVRs across multiple buildings or sites — each NVR with its own login, its own search interface, its own retention schedule. The operational burden:

• Operators must learn each NVR’s interface separately
• Investigators must search each NVR independently to find an event spanning sites
• Portfolio managers cannot get a unified dashboard
• Cross-site federation requires VMS-side software

Wisenet WAVE solves this by providing a unified VMS that ingests video from Hanwha NVRs (via WAVE-EMB-04) AND third-party encoders (via WAVE-ENC-04) AND IP cameras directly — into a single operator console. The WAVE-EMB-04 license is what brings each Hanwha NVR’s recorded archive into that unified view.

What WAVE-EMB-04 Enables

• Live-view across NVR fleet — switch between cameras on different NVRs from one console
• Cross-NVR search — search all integrated NVRs for events matching criteria (timestamp, motion, alarms)
• Cross-NVR playback — play synchronized video from cameras on different NVRs
• Centralized backup — export evidence from any integrated NVR through a single workflow
• Unified user management — role-based access spans all integrated NVRs
• Single dashboard for portfolio managers + chief security officers

License Sizing — How Many WAVE-EMB-04 Licenses Per NVR

The license stacks at 4 channels per unit. Match license count to NVR camera count:

NVR	Channels	Licenses needed
ARN-410S	4	1
ARN-810S	8	2
ARN-1610S, QRN-1630S	16	4
XRN-820S	8	2
XRN-3220B2	32	8
XRN-6420B2	64	16

For greenfield projects, plan licensing into the project budget alongside the NVR. For existing Hanwha NVR fleets joining a new WAVE deployment, count active channels per NVR.

Where the WAVE-EMB-04 Wins in Chicago

• Multi-site Chicago commercial VMS deployments combining Hanwha NVRs across properties
• Property management portfolios with multiple Hanwha NVRs needing unified management — Loop, North Shore, Northwest suburb, West suburb portfolio management firms
• Hospital systems with Hanwha NVRs at multiple facilities — Northwestern Memorial, Rush, U of C Medicine, Loyola Medical multi-campus health systems
• Education districts with school + admin building NVRs — Chicago Public Schools, suburban district 39, district 54
• Retail chains with multiple Hanwha NVR locations
• Banking with multi-branch Hanwha NVR fleets — community bank chains, credit union networks
• Hospitality multi-property hotels and restaurants
• HOA portfolios managed by single property-management company
• Government multi-building with separate Hanwha NVRs at Cook County and suburban municipal complexes
• Industrial / warehouse multi-site operations

WAVE-EMB-04 vs. WAVE-PRO + WAVE-ENC

License	What it integrates	Best for
WAVE-EMB-04 (this)	Existing Hanwha NVR’s recorded video	Hanwha-NVR-based fleets joining WAVE
WAVE-PRO 1-Ch	Direct IP camera recording into WAVE	WAVE-only architectures (no separate NVR)
WAVE-ENC-04	Encoder-class IP camera channels	Encoder-fed analog camera integration

Most Chicago multi-site portfolios use a mix: WAVE-EMB-04 for existing Hanwha NVRs + WAVE-PRO 1-Ch for new direct-to-WAVE IP cameras + WAVE-ENC-04 for legacy encoder-fed analog cameras.
