i-PRO AGS-R-1-L-12TB Active Guard Rack Server
The i-PRO AGS-R-1-L-12TB is a purpose-built 1U rack server designed for mid-scale professional IP surveillance deployments. Engineered to deliver sustained high-throughput video recording, real-time intelligent analytics processing, and reliable data retention, this server excels in branch office, retail, and small enterprise environments where demanding concurrent workloads and 24/7 uptime are non-negotiable.
Key Features
- Intel Xeon Silver processor with 8-core/16-thread architecture for parallel processing
- 32GB system RAM for high-concurrency workloads and metadata indexing
- 12TB native storage capacity for extended retention periods
- 1RU compact form factor for efficient data center deployment
- Windows Server operating system with Active Directory integration
- Simultaneous multi-stream ingest, analytics, and playback capability
- Enterprise-grade stability and automated patch management
Technical Specifications
The AGS-R-1-L-12TB combines Intel Xeon Silver processing with 32GB of system memory to handle demanding concurrent operations including continuous high-bitrate recording from multiple simultaneous streams, real-time video analytics processing, metadata indexing, database operations, and edge analytics offload. The 12TB storage subsystem maintains responsive search and playback performance across the full retention period while supporting dozens of connected cameras.
Pre-installed Windows Server ensures enterprise compatibility, seamless Active Directory integration, and automated security patching. The 1RU rack-optimized design fits standard 19-inch server enclosures, simplifying deployment in existing infrastructure.
Ideal Applications
- Multi-location retail surveillance networks
- Branch office and corporate campus monitoring
- Small to medium enterprise security operations
- Facilities requiring integrated video recording and intelligent analytics
- Environments demanding 24/7 continuous recording with extended retention

The AGS-R-1-L-12TB strikes a balance between processing power and storage density for organizations outgrowing single-camera solutions but not yet requiring enterprise-scale infrastructure. The 8-core Xeon Silver delivers sufficient parallelism for real-time analytics without the thermal and power footprint of larger processors, while 32GB RAM eliminates bottlenecks in metadata-heavy workloads. The 12TB capacity addresses standard retention windows—typically 30-60 days at moderate bitrates—across 20-40 camera deployments, making it well-suited for branch offices and retail chains.
Consider this server when you need analytics processing closer to the edge, require Windows Server ecosystem integration, or must consolidate recording and analysis in a single compact appliance.
