i-PRO NVR-SFL-1-16TB-V5 Tower Network Video Recorder
Overview
The i-PRO NVR-SFL-1-16TB-V5 is a tower-form network video recorder built for mid-scale branch offices, retail locations, and small enterprise surveillance deployments. This unit ships fully configured and tested with Windows 11 PRO, Video Insight Enterprise Server activation, and 16GB system RAM. The Intel 6-core/12-thread processor handles sustained multi-stream recording without performance loss. Dual 1GB Ethernet ports (1GB NIC-BASE-T) support redundant network paths and deliver up to 1 Gbps sustained recording performance. At 12 lbs and 13.4" H × 3.6" W × 11.7" D, it fits standard office rack or shelf installations. The NVR-SFL-1-16TB-V5 connects to i-PRO IP cameras and ONVIF-compliant third-party cameras across wired Ethernet networks, eliminating the need for post-purchase configuration or software licensing delays.
Compatibility
The NVR-SFL-1-16TB-V5 integrates with i-PRO IP camera portfolios and any ONVIF-compliant camera. Video Insight Enterprise Server (included, pre-activated) provides video management, playback, and archival workflows. Enterprise Active Directory integration supports centralized user credential management across distributed sites. The dual 1GB Ethernet ports enable redundant network configurations for installations requiring uptime guarantees. Recording performance is rated at 150–250 Mbps burst and sustained 1 Gbps throughput depending on codec and stream density — fit this into your network video management architecture by calculating total bitrate across all cameras and confirming headroom on your Ethernet uplink.
Storage and System Architecture
Storage capacity is delivered via a single 3.5" enterprise HDD bay (16TB usable in this model; variants support 4TB to 20TB). A dedicated M.2 SSD slot isolates the Windows 11 PRO operating system and database activity from video I/O, preventing storage contention during concurrent playback and live ingest. No RAID controller is present — the system relies on a single enterprise-grade HDD without redundancy. Usable storage is 16TB as configured; OS-visible capacity may vary slightly due to file system overhead. For redundancy and automated failover, integrate a secondary NVR at a second site or configure network-attached backup storage.
Power and Environmental
The unit draws 260W via a fixed internal power supply — account for this in your data center or server closet power budget. Operating in standard office environments (20–25°C typical), no external cooling modifications are required. The tower form factor sits on shelves, under desks, or in open racks without additional mounting hardware.
