i-PRO SR1XL NVR-R-1-36TB-V8 Rack-Mount Network Video Recorder
The i-PRO NVR-R-1-36TB-V8 is a professional-grade 1U rack-mount Network Video Recorder engineered for mid-to-large-scale IP surveillance deployments. Built on the SR1XL platform and configured with an Intel Xeon Silver 8-core/16-thread processor, 32GB system RAM, and 36TB native storage capacity, this system delivers the performance and capacity required for continuous high-bitrate recording, real-time video analytics, and extended retention across corporate, retail, institutional, and mission-critical environments.
Key Features
- Intel Xeon Silver processor (8-core/16-thread) for parallel multi-stream processing and concurrent analytics
- 32GB system RAM supporting high-concurrency workloads including metadata indexing and database operations
- 36TB integrated storage capacity enabling extended retention periods for large-scale deployments
- 1U compact rack-mount form factor for space-efficient data center and server room integration
- Windows Server 2025 Standard Edition pre-installed for enterprise-grade stability and Active Directory integration
- Optimized for continuous high-throughput video ingest from dozens to hundreds of simultaneous camera streams
- Support for real-time video analytics and edge intelligence processing without performance degradation
- Responsive search and playback across full retention period
Technical Architecture
The NVR-R-1-36TB-V8 combines server-class computing with purpose-built storage management. The Intel Xeon Silver processor enables parallel processing of concurrent multi-stream video ingest, real-time analytics workloads, and simultaneous user playback requests. With 32GB of system memory, the platform efficiently handles metadata indexing, database operations, and edge analytics offload tasks without resource contention or performance bottlenecks.
The 36TB storage subsystem is architected to support sustained high-bitrate recording across multiple simultaneous streams while maintaining responsive query performance and playback responsiveness. Windows Server 2025 Standard Edition provides enterprise OS stability, compatibility with corporate Active Directory environments, and secure remote management capabilities.
Ideal Applications
- Large corporate campus surveillance with dozens to hundreds of cameras
- Multi-location retail chain deployments requiring centralized recording and extended retention
- Educational and institutional facilities with significant video archival requirements
- Government and critical infrastructure monitoring operations
- Data center and server room integration for security and operations monitoring

The NVR-R-1-36TB-V8 is positioned for organizations that require industrial-strength video infrastructure with capacity to scale. The 8-core Xeon Silver processor strikes a practical balance—sufficient for demanding concurrent workloads yet power-efficient compared to higher-tier Xeon Gold variants. The 32GB RAM allocation is appropriate for high-volume deployments without over-provisioning; most modern VMS platforms scale efficiently within this range for hundreds of simultaneous streams.
The 36TB storage capacity translates to weeks or months of retention depending on bitrate and stream count, making it suitable for compliance-driven industries requiring extended archives. Rack-mount form factor and Windows Server 2025 integration signal enterprise-class positioning, ideal for IT-managed environments where standardized OS and directory services matter. This platform prioritizes throughput and analytics capability over redundancy—organizations requiring active-active failover should evaluate cluster configurations.
