Panasonic NVR-R-2-2-160TB Rack-Mount Network Video Recorder, 160TB
Overview
The Panasonic NVR-R-2-2-160TB is a 160TB network video recorder built on a Dell PowerEdge R740xd-C rack server platform. Pairing Panasonic's recording software with an enterprise-grade Dell chassis puts this unit in the category of high-capacity, rack-room deployments rather than desktop or wall-mounted recorders. This model (NVR-R-2-2-160TB, also searched as NVR R 2 2 160TB) is marked end-of-life — confirm current availability and remaining stock before specifying it for a new project.
Key Features
- 160TB Max Storage: a large on-board capacity pool intended for multi-camera deployments with extended retention windows — the kind of headroom that matters when compliance or investigation timelines push retention past 30-60 days.
- Dell PowerEdge R740xd-C Form Factor: built on a data-center-class rack server chassis, which points to standard rack rail mounting and server-room power/cooling expectations rather than a compact appliance footprint.
Integration & Compatibility
Because detailed interface, channel-count, and codec specifications are not available in current evidence, confirm camera channel licensing, RAID configuration, and network throughput directly against the manufacturer documentation for this exact part number before purchase. If you're evaluating this platform for a new build, review the broader network video recorders lineup and a Panasonic surveillance catalog page for currently shipping alternatives, and consult a storage and retention planning guide to size capacity against your camera count and retention policy. Since this is an EOL platform, budget for a current-generation NVR as a long-term replacement path rather than standardizing new deployments on this SKU.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the NVR-R-2-2-160TB still available for purchase?
A: This model is marked end-of-life. Confirm current stock and consider a currently shipping NVR platform for new deployments.
Q: What server platform is the NVR-R-2-2-160TB built on?
A: It uses a Dell PowerEdge R740xd-C rack server chassis as its hardware base.
Q: How much storage does the NVR-R-2-2-160TB include?
A: It ships with 160TB of maximum storage capacity.
Q: Is the NVR-R-2-2-160TB rack-mountable?
A: Yes — it is built on a Dell PowerEdge R740xd-C rack server, which is designed for standard rack mounting in a server room or data closet.
The NVR-R-2-2-160TB is one of those platforms you spec when the camera count and retention policy have already outgrown a standalone appliance — 160TB on a Dell PowerEdge R740xd-C chassis puts it firmly in server-rack territory, not a closet shelf.
Technical Highlights:
- 160TB Max Storage: enough raw capacity to carry a sizable camera count through long retention windows without an external expansion shelf, assuming your channel count and bitrate math pencil out.
- Dell PowerEdge R740xd-C Platform: a rack-dense server chassis, which tells you to plan for rack rails, redundant PSU power draw, and server-room cooling rather than a wall-mount install.
Deployment Considerations:
- This SKU is marked end-of-life — treat it as a like-for-like replacement or expansion for an existing R740xd-C-based deployment, not as the anchor for a new site design.
- Detailed channel licensing, RAID layout, and codec support aren't listed in current documentation for this exact part number — get those confirmed in writing before you commission around it.
Best fit: an existing Panasonic/Dell R740xd-C site that needs a matching 160TB unit to keep hardware and RAID configuration consistent across the rack — not a greenfield NVR selection.
