Panasonic NVR-R-1-1-32TB Dell PowerEdge R540 Network Video Recorder, 32TB
Overview
The Panasonic NVR-R-1-1-32TB is a rack-mount network video recorder built on a Dell PowerEdge R540 server platform, configured with 32TB of onboard storage for continuous video recording. This model also supports microSD local storage as a supplemental or edge-recording option. The NVR-R-1-1-32TB (often searched as NVR R 1 1 32TB) has been marked discontinued by the manufacturer — availability is limited to remaining channel stock, so confirm current inventory before specifying it for a new deployment.
Key Features
- 32TB Storage Capacity: a large on-board pool sized for extended retention across a multi-camera deployment, reducing how often footage ages out before an incident is reviewed.
- Dell PowerEdge R540 Platform: built on a commercial-grade rack server chassis rather than a proprietary embedded box, which matters if your data center standard requires rack-mountable, serviceable hardware.
- microSD Local Storage: provides a secondary local recording path, useful as a failover buffer if the network link to the main recording server drops.
Integration & Compatibility
Because the NVR-R-1-1-32TB is built on a Dell PowerEdge R540 chassis, integrators evaluating rack space, power, and service contracts should plan around standard server-rack conventions rather than a dedicated appliance form factor. Pair it with Panasonic IP cameras from the broader Panasonic catalog sized to your retention and channel-count requirements. If you're scoping storage for a new install, review a storage and retention planning guide before committing to a fixed 32TB pool, since retention math depends heavily on camera count, resolution, and frame rate. A network video recorder of this capacity is typically deployed alongside PoE switches sized for the camera count feeding it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Panasonic NVR-R-1-1-32TB still available for new orders?
A: This model is marked discontinued by the manufacturer. Remaining units may be available from existing channel stock — confirm current availability before specifying it for a new project.
Q: What storage capacity does the NVR-R-1-1-32TB ship with?
A: It ships configured with 32TB of storage.
Q: Does the NVR-R-1-1-32TB support local storage beyond the main drive pool?
A: Yes, it supports microSD local storage as a supplemental option.
Q: What server platform is the NVR-R-1-1-32TB built on?
A: It is built on a Dell PowerEdge R540 rack server platform.
The NVR-R-1-1-32TB is a Panasonic recorder built on a Dell PowerEdge R540 chassis with 32TB configured on the shelf — a server-platform approach rather than a closed embedded NVR.
Technical Highlights:
- 32TB Storage: a sizable retention pool out of the box, though actual retention days will depend on how many cameras and what resolution/frame rate you point at it — that math isn't in scope here without camera-side specs.
- Dell PowerEdge R540 Base: a rack-server foundation means standard server serviceability and rack conventions instead of a proprietary embedded box.
- microSD Local Storage: gives you a secondary local recording path independent of the main drive pool.
Deployment Considerations:
- Plan rack space and power around standard server conventions, not a compact appliance footprint, since this is a PowerEdge R540-based build.
- This model is marked discontinued — treat any quantity you find as final channel stock and confirm availability before you spec it into a new design rather than a replacement/expansion of an existing deployment.
Reasonable fit for an integrator already standardized on Panasonic recording infrastructure who needs to match an existing NVR-R-1-1-32TB unit for a system expansion or replacement, rather than a first choice for a brand-new install given its discontinued status.
