i-PRO NVR-R-2-500TB-V5 Rack Mount Network Video Recorder
Overview
The NVR-R-2-500TB-V5 is a 2U rack-mount recorder designed for large-scale surveillance deployments requiring continuous high-bitrate ingest from distributed camera networks. The system arrives factory-configured with dual Intel Xeon Silver 16-core/32-thread processors, 64GB system RAM, 500TB raw storage (460TB usable after formatting), and Windows Server 2022 Standard with Video Insight Enterprise Server activation pre-installed—meaning deployment without additional software licensing overhead. This addresses campus security, municipal infrastructure, and enterprise multi-site environments where you need to handle hundreds to thousands of simultaneous camera streams without performance degradation.
Compatibility
The NVR-R-2-500TB-V5 integrates with ONVIF-compliant IP cameras from major vendor families and operates on standard 1Gbps and 10Gbps Ethernet. Two embedded 1GB BASE-T ports and two 10GB SFP+ ports support both traditional network segments and high-speed backbone connectivity. Storage expansion accommodates up to 28 × 3.5-inch SAS enterprise drives in RAID 6 configuration for additional capacity beyond the base 500TB. The system runs Windows Server 2022 Standard, making it compatible with Video Insight enterprise management platforms and standard Windows-based VMS ecosystems. Dual M.2 SSD drives (RAID 1) provide OS mirroring for redundancy.
Installation Notes
This is a 2U form factor requiring standard 4-post rack infrastructure. Dimensions are 3.41 inches (H) × 18.98 inches (W) × 34.36 inches (D), excluding bezel. The system weighs 103 lbs and draws power from dual hot-swap 1400W power supplies for enterprise redundancy—meaning a single PSU failure does not interrupt recording. Includes four-post mounting rails. No monitor included. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides out-of-band remote management, simplifying troubleshooting in distributed deployments. Recommended for climate-controlled data centers or dedicated server rooms.
