Panasonic NVR-R-2-2-96TB Rack-Mount Network Video Recorder, 96TB
Overview
The Panasonic NVR-R-2-2-96TB is a rack-mount network video recorder built on a Dell PowerEdge R740xd-C server chassis and configured with 96TB of onboard storage. Pairing a Panasonic recording platform with a Dell enterprise server chassis is a configuration aimed at larger surveillance deployments that need dense local storage in a standard rack footprint rather than a compact desktop NVR enclosure. NVR-R-2-2-96TB (often searched as NVR R 2 2 96TB) reflects that pairing directly in its part number — R740xd platform, dual-something configuration, 96TB capacity.
Key Features
- 96TB storage capacity: a large usable pool for archiving high-resolution, multi-camera footage over extended retention windows without immediately rotating out older recordings — the deciding factor for sites with strict retention-period requirements.
- Dell PowerEdge R740xd-C chassis: a rack-mount enterprise server platform, which points to hot-swap drive bays and server-grade build quality typical of R740xd-based systems, relevant for data centers and server-room deployments rather than closet-mounted consumer NVRs.
Integration & Compatibility
Because this unit is built on a Dell PowerEdge R740xd-C platform, plan your rack space, power, and cooling around standard 2U enterprise server dimensions rather than a compact appliance footprint. Confirm current channel count, RAID configuration, and codec support before finalizing a design — that detail isn't included in the specifications available for this listing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What server platform is the NVR-R-2-2-96TB built on?
A: It's configured on a Dell PowerEdge R740xd-C rack-mount server chassis.
Q: How much storage does the NVR-R-2-2-96TB include?
A: 96TB of onboard storage capacity.
Q: Is the NVR-R-2-2-96TB still an active model?
A: This configuration is being phased out; confirm current availability before specifying it for a new project.
The NVR-R-2-2-96TB pairs Panasonic's recording software with a Dell PowerEdge R740xd-C chassis at 96TB — that's the whole spec sheet I have in front of me, and it's worth being upfront about that.
Technical Highlights:
- 96TB capacity: enough headroom for long retention windows across a meaningful number of high-resolution streams, though exact channel count isn't listed here.
- Dell PowerEdge R740xd-C platform: an enterprise 2U rack chassis, so expect hot-swap bay density and server-room mounting requirements rather than a desk-friendly form factor.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm channel count, RAID level, and codec support directly before designing a camera count around this unit — those numbers aren't in the available spec data.
- This configuration is flagged for phase-out, so verify current stock and consider a currently-shipping Panasonic NVR platform for new deployments.
Best fit for teams that already have a Panasonic VMS environment and need a large-capacity rack-mount recorder to slot into an existing server room — verify full specs before committing NVR-R-2-2-96TB to a bid.
