FLIR USS-PRM-48R5-40 2U Premium Server with 48TB RAID-5 (40TB usable)
When your surveillance deployment demands enterprise-grade storage with built-in redundancy, the FLIR USS-PRM-48R5-40 delivers a turnkey 2U server solution engineered for commercial VMS installations. With 48TB raw capacity configured in RAID-5, you get 40TB of usable storage while maintaining drive-level fault tolerance—critical for multi-site campuses, retail chains, and facilities where downtime isn't an option. This platform eliminates the guesswork of building custom recording servers, providing a factory-configured foundation for FLIR United VMS and third-party management platforms.

- Premium server-grade components deliver reliability for 24/7 continuous operation
- Optimized for high-bitrate multi-camera recording and simultaneous playback streams
- Hot-swap drive bays enable drive replacement without system shutdown
- Redundant power supply options ensure uninterrupted operation during PSU failure
- Compatible with FLIR United VMS and major third-party video management systems
The USS-PRM-48R5-40 addresses the storage calculation challenge that integrators face on large camera counts. With 40TB usable, you can support approximately 60-80 cameras at 1080p resolution with 30-day retention, depending on frame rates and compression settings. The RAID-5 configuration balances capacity, performance, and fault tolerance—one drive can fail completely while the array continues recording and serving playback requests. This matters when you're managing a deployment where gaps in footage aren't acceptable.
Factory configuration means the server arrives ready for VMS installation and camera onboarding. Drive arrays are pre-configured, firmware is tested, and burn-in validation is complete. For integrators managing multiple projects, this eliminates the labor of sourcing components, configuring RAID controllers, and validating drive compatibility. Mount it, connect your network, install your VMS, and you're recording. The 2U profile maximizes storage density while leaving rack space for network switches, NVRs, and other infrastructure in equipment closets where vertical space is constrained.
