ACTi INR-450 200-Channel 12-Bay RAID NVR

ACTi INR-450 200-Channel Rackmount NVR

Overview

The INR-450 is a rackmount NVR engineered for large-scale video surveillance deployments where you need 200-channel capacity in a single appliance. It solves the infrastructure problem of centralizing massive camera counts (200+ IP cameras) without fragmenting storage or management across multiple smaller recorders. The standalone architecture with redundant power supply keeps recording running during power events — critical for facilities where loss of sight means operational blind spots or compliance violations.

Compatibility

The INR-450 integrates with any IP camera ecosystem using standard protocols: ONVIF-compliant cameras from Axis, Hikvision, Dahua, Uniview, Hanwha, and other major vendors. No proprietary camera requirement. Rack deployment assumes standard 19-inch server cabinet infrastructure with adequate power distribution and network backbone capacity to handle 200-channel ingest. Verify your switch uplink supports the aggregate throughput before deployment.

Installation Notes

Rackmount form factor requires 19-inch enclosure space (check rack height allocation). The unit draws significant power — redundant PSU design improves availability but demands dual circuit routing to separate PDUs where possible. Network setup requires gigabit uplinks; 10GbE recommended for installations with high bitrate streams across all 200 channels simultaneously. Plan storage refresh cycles around your retention policy — 12 hot-swappable bays allow in-service drive replacement without system shutdown, but capacity planning must account for bitrate growth over time.
