The Geovision GV-RAID-72 is a hardware RAID controller built on the ARECA platform, designed to expand storage capacity on network video recorders running continuous 24/7 surveillance. The 20-port design handles parallel drive operations across independent RAID arrays, reducing rebuild bottlenecks when a drive fails. This card fits the deployment scenario where a single NVR must support dozens of cameras and retention policies demand months of stored footage — think multi-site operations, retail chains with backhaul, or government security centers where data loss triggers incident reports.
The GV-RAID-72 integrates natively with Geovision NVR platforms and compatible storage systems that accept ARECA controller cards. Confirm your NVR model accepts a 20-port RAID expansion card before ordering — not all Geovision recorders support external RAID controllers. Contact your integrator or Geovision technical support with your NVR's part number to verify slot availability and firmware support.
The card requires a compatible PCIe or dedicated expansion slot on your NVR chassis. Install should happen during system setup or during a planned maintenance window — the NVR will need to be powered down and the RAID array rebuilt after the card is seated. Use anti-static precautions and ensure your power supply has sufficient headroom to drive both the controller and the full complement of attached drives. Hot-swap capability means you can replace a failed drive without shutting down the system, but the initial array configuration and rebuild operations will consume I/O bandwidth and may impact live recording throughput temporarily.
