i-PRO WJ-HXE400P 9-Drive Expansion Unit
Overview
The WJ-HXE400P is a dedicated 9-bay expansion chassis for i-PRO network video recorders. It mounts externally to compatible NVR models and adds drive capacity without requiring internal restructuring of the base recorder — useful when your deployment starts at 4–8 camera channels but you anticipate growth to 16, 32, or more channels recording 24/7. The unit ships without drives installed, so you provision storage according to your actual retention policy and scene complexity rather than paying for oversized pre-loaded configs.
Compatibility
The WJ-HXE400P is designed for i-PRO's WJ-NX series network video recorders. Check your base NVR model documentation to confirm expansion-unit support — not all NX-series models support external drive expansion. i-PRO will provide compatibility details on a per-model basis; contact pre-sales engineering if you are unsure whether your specific NVR supports this expansion unit.
Installation Notes
This is a drive chassis only — it requires physical rack or shelf mounting near your NVR and a supported interconnect cable (typically Ethernet or SATA depending on the compatible NVR model). Ensure adequate cooling around the unit; nine hard drives running 24/7 generate sustained heat. Verify power availability at your rack location; the expansion unit will draw power either through a separate PSU connection or via a daisy-chain from your NVR, depending on your specific NVR's design. Confirm with the compatible NVR's manual before ordering drive inventory.
