i-PRO NVR-R-2-180TB-V8 Rack-Mount Network Video Recorder
The i-PRO NVR-R-2-180TB-V8 is a professional-grade 2U rack-mount Network Video Recorder engineered for large-scale IP surveillance deployments. Built on enterprise architecture with dual Intel Xeon Silver processors, 64GB system RAM, and 180TB native storage capacity, this system delivers the performance and capacity required for sustained high-throughput video recording, real-time analytics processing, and extended archival retention across enterprise campuses, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and government environments.
Key Features
- Dual Intel Xeon Silver processors (12-core/24-thread each) for parallel multi-stream processing
- 64GB system RAM supporting high-concurrency workloads and metadata indexing
- 180TB integrated storage capacity for extended retention and archival
- 2U rack-mount form factor for data center and server room deployment
- Pre-installed Windows Server 2025 Standard Edition for enterprise stability
- Simultaneous multi-camera ingest, analytics, and playback capabilities
- Responsive search and retrieval across full retention period
Technical Architecture
The dual Xeon Silver processor configuration provides the parallel processing capability required for concurrent camera feeds, real-time video analytics, and simultaneous playback operations. With 64GB of system memory, the platform efficiently handles metadata indexing, database operations, and edge analytics offload without performance bottlenecks. The integrated 180TB storage subsystem is architected to support continuous high-bitrate recording from multiple simultaneous streams while maintaining responsive search and playback performance throughout the retention period.
Storage and Data Management
The 180TB storage capacity accommodates long-term archival requirements across large multi-camera deployments. The storage architecture is optimized for sustained write performance during continuous recording while enabling rapid retrieval and playback of archived footage. This balance between recording throughput and access speed is critical for investigations, compliance, and operational review in mission-critical environments.
Operating System and Integration
The NVR-R-2-180TB-V8 ships pre-installed with Windows Server 2025 Standard Edition, providing enterprise-grade stability, security patching, and compatibility with industry-standard IP camera systems and VMS platforms. The Windows Server foundation enables integration with existing IT infrastructure while maintaining the deterministic performance required for continuous surveillance operations.
Ideal Applications
- Enterprise campuses with hundreds of distributed camera feeds
- Healthcare facilities requiring HIPAA-compliant long-term retention
- Educational institutions securing large multi-building environments
- Government and critical infrastructure surveillance
- Data centers and server facilities
- Transportation and logistics hubs

The NVR-R-2-180TB-V8 is positioned for organizations that require substantial recording capacity and processing headroom in a space-efficient rack form factor. The dual Xeon Silver configuration with 24 total cores provides significant margin for real-time analytics processing without impacting video ingest performance—a critical requirement in modern surveillance where metadata enrichment and intelligent alerting demand dedicated compute resources. The 180TB capacity supports extended retention windows (30–90+ days depending on camera resolution and bitrate), reducing reliance on cloud archival for compliance-driven environments.
Windows Server 2025 Standard Edition provides a familiar operating system surface while maintaining enterprise patch cycles and security baselines. This configuration is best suited for organizations with established IT operations centers capable of managing Windows Server infrastructure rather than purpose-built surveillance appliances.
