i-PRO NVR-R-2-180TB-FD7 Rack-Mount Network Video Recorder
The i-PRO NVR-R-2-180TB-FD7 is an enterprise-grade, 2U rack-mount Network Video Recorder engineered for large-scale IP surveillance deployments. Built on a robust platform with FIPS 140-2 self-encrypting drives and TAA certification, this system delivers the processing power, storage capacity, and security infrastructure required by organizations managing hundreds of cameras across distributed campus, healthcare, education, and government facilities.
System Architecture
- Dual Intel Xeon Silver processors (12-core/24-thread each) for parallel multi-stream processing
- 64GB system RAM supporting high-concurrency workloads and real-time analytics
- 2U rack-mount form factor optimized for data center integration
- 180TB native storage capacity for extended archival retention
Storage & Security
The 180TB integrated storage subsystem utilizes FIPS 140-2 validated self-encrypting drives, providing transparent hardware-level encryption for data-at-rest protection. This approach meets federal security and compliance requirements without sacrificing recording throughput or system performance. The encryption operates independently of CPU resources, ensuring that security measures do not degrade video ingest or concurrent playback capabilities.
Performance Capabilities
- Concurrent multi-stream ingest from hundreds of IP cameras
- Real-time video analytics processing and metadata indexing
- Simultaneous multi-user playback and forensic review
- Enterprise database operations and edge analytics offload
- Sustained high-throughput recording without performance degradation
Compliance & Certification
TAA-certified and FIPS 140-2 validated, the NVR-R-2-180TB-FD7 meets strict procurement requirements for U.S. federal, state, and local government agencies. The self-encrypting drive architecture ensures compliance with data protection mandates while maintaining operational simplicity.
Ideal Applications
- Enterprise campus surveillance with multiple building locations
- Healthcare facilities requiring HIPAA-compliant video retention
- Educational institutions managing distributed camera networks
- Government and critical infrastructure security operations
- Large-scale retail and commercial facility monitoring

The NVR-R-2-180TB-FD7 is positioned as a heavy-duty recorder for organizations that have outgrown mid-range solutions. The dual Xeon Silver configuration provides substantial multi-threaded performance for analytics-intensive workflows—critical for deployments combining traditional recording with intelligent video analysis, object detection, and behavioral monitoring. The 64GB memory allocation ensures responsive metadata queries and concurrent database operations without system bottlenecks.
The 180TB capacity delivers months of retention even in high-bitrate, multi-codec environments. For compliance-driven sectors, the FIPS 140-2 self-encrypting drives eliminate the encryption overhead typically associated with software-based approaches, preserving CPU headroom for analytics. TAA certification simplifies procurement for government contracts.
This is a purpose-built solution for organizations requiring both scale and security assurance.
