i-PRO SR3E-XL NVR-R-2-500TB-FD8 Rack-Mount Network Video Recorder
The i-PRO NVR-R-2-500TB-FD8 is an enterprise-grade, rack-mount Network Video Recorder engineered for large-scale IP surveillance deployments. Built on the proven SR3E-XL platform and configured with dual Intel Xeon Silver processors, 64GB system RAM, and 500TB native storage capacity, this 2U server delivers the performance, security, and scalability required for sustained high-throughput video recording across campus, municipal, critical infrastructure, and multi-site enterprise environments.
Key Features
- TAA Certified for federal procurement compliance
- Dual Intel Xeon Silver processors (12-core/24-thread each) for parallel processing of multi-stream ingest and real-time analytics
- 64GB system RAM for high-concurrency workloads including metadata indexing and edge analytics
- 500TB native storage capacity supporting extended multi-year retention
- FIPS 140-2 Self-Encrypting Drives for data-at-rest protection meeting federal security standards
- 2U rack-mount form factor optimized for data center deployment
Architecture and Performance
Dual Intel Xeon Silver processors enable concurrent processing of hundreds to thousands of camera streams with sustained throughput. The 64GB memory configuration handles simultaneous video ingest, real-time analytics processing, and playback without degradation. All storage leverages FIPS 140-2 validated self-encrypting technology, ensuring transparent encryption that meets compliance requirements without impacting recording performance or throughput.
Storage and Security
The 500TB integrated storage subsystem accommodates extended retention periods required in regulated environments. Hardware-based encryption at the drive level protects recorded video and metadata in compliance with federal security standards, while maintaining system performance. The configuration supports diverse archive strategies across large distributed surveillance networks.
Applications
- Campus and facility-wide surveillance across multiple buildings and perimeters
- Municipal and public safety deployments requiring multi-year evidence retention
- Critical infrastructure monitoring with federal compliance mandates
- Enterprise multi-site deployments with centralized recording and analytics
- Large-scale security operations with high camera density and concurrent analytics processing

The NVR-R-2-500TB-FD8 addresses the convergence of scale, security, and compliance in modern surveillance infrastructure. The dual-processor architecture eliminates single-core bottlenecks common in smaller NVRs, enabling true parallel processing of analytics workloads alongside recording. FIPS 140-2 encryption at the hardware level is particularly valuable in federally regulated environments where encryption cannot be disabled or bypassed, making this platform suitable for law enforcement, government facilities, and critical infrastructure protection.
The 500TB capacity in a 2U footprint delivers exceptional density for data center environments where rack space is premium. This configuration is purpose-built for organizations managing hundreds of cameras with mandatory long-term retention and real-time analytics requirements.
