i-PRO NVR-R-2-176TB-V2 SR3E-C 2U NVR (Dual Xeon, 176 TB)
The NVR-R-2-176TB-V2 is a 2U rack-mount SR3E-C NVR with dual Xeon octa-core CPUs and 176 TB of recording capacity. It is engineered for mid-to-large surveillance deployments where channel density, retention, and uptime are the dominant requirements. Dual Xeons handle the H.265 decoding workload for live monitoring while the SAS-attached storage subsystem absorbs continuous write traffic from a few hundred high-resolution cameras.
Key Features
- 2U rack-mount appliance with dual Intel Xeon octa-core processors
- 176 TB of usable recording capacity
- Enterprise SATA / SAS surveillance drives in RAID configuration
- Hot-swap drive bays for in-rack replacement
- Hardware-accelerated H.265 decoding for live wall monitoring
- Pre-tuned i-PRO VMS / WAVE stack out of the box
- Redundant power supplies and cooling for enterprise uptime
Mid-to-large enterprise installs reach a point where individual NVR appliances no longer scale; that's where the SR3E-C family fits. With 176 TB raw the system can carry several hundred 4K cameras at typical motion-mostly recording profiles, or a larger camera count at modest bitrates. The pre-tuned i-PRO recording stack avoids the labor of integrating raw server hardware with the VMS — power on, configure the network, add cameras.
Plan retention with the help of the i-PRO bandwidth calculator using actual camera bitrates and the customer's motion-event profile. Size the rack PDU for full system draw plus 20 percent and pair with a UPS adequate for graceful shutdown of an active RAID rebuild. Sizing the LAN uplink is also critical — a system this size benefits from 10 GbE uplinks if the customer wants to support both live monitoring and historical search concurrently. Keep a cold spare drive on site for fast RAID rebuild start.
