i-PRO NVR-R-2-500TB-V8 Rack-Mount Network Video Recorder
The i-PRO NVR-R-2-500TB-V8 is an enterprise-class 2U rack-mount Network Video Recorder engineered for large-scale IP surveillance deployments. Configured with dual Intel Xeon Silver processors, 64GB system RAM, and 500TB native storage capacity, this platform delivers the processing power and retention capability required for campus, municipal, critical infrastructure, and multi-site enterprise security operations.
Core Architecture
- Dual Intel Xeon Silver processors (12-core/24-thread each) for parallel multi-stream processing
- 64GB system RAM for concurrent ingest, analytics, and database operations
- 500TB integrated storage subsystem supporting extended multi-year retention
- 2U rack-mount form factor optimized for data center and server room deployment
- Windows Server 2025 Standard Edition pre-installed
Performance and Recording Capability
The dual-processor configuration enables high-concurrency workloads including sustained multi-stream video ingest at high bitrates, real-time video analytics processing, and simultaneous playback across hundreds to thousands of IP cameras. The 64GB memory footprint supports metadata indexing, relational database operations, and edge analytics offload without performance bottlenecks. The 500TB storage architecture maintains responsive search and retrieval operations across the full retention period, critical for investigations spanning months or years.
Storage and Data Management
- 500TB capacity for extended retention periods across large camera deployments
- High-performance storage subsystem handling continuous multi-stream recording
- Responsive search and playback across full retention archive
- microSD card slot for local configuration and emergency backup
Enterprise Applications
Ideal for security operations centers (SOCs), transportation hubs, utilities, government facilities, healthcare campuses, and retail chains requiring centralized video management. Supports mixed-protocol IP camera ecosystems and integrates with third-party video management software platforms common in enterprise environments.

The NVR-R-2-500TB-V8 targets organizations that have outgrown mid-range NVRs and require dedicated server-grade hardware. The dual Xeon Silver configuration (48 combined cores) and 64GB RAM provide substantial headroom for analytics processing, reducing dependency on edge compute. The 500TB capacity is appropriate for deployments with 100+ cameras at standard bitrates or 30–50 cameras at high-resolution or high-frame-rate streams.
Windows Server 2025 Standard enables integration with Active Directory, third-party VMS platforms, and custom security applications. Rack-mount form factor and enterprise OS make this suitable for organizations with existing data center infrastructure and IT operational discipline. Not recommended for small or remote sites; better suited for centralized or hub-and-spoke architectures.
