i-PRO NVR-R-2-72TB-A-V2 SR3E-A 2U NVR (Dual Xeon Octa-Core, 32 GB, 72 TB)
The NVR-R-2-72TB-A-V2 is a 2U rack-mount SR3E-A NVR with dual Xeon octa-core CPUs, 32 GB of RAM, and 72 TB of recording capacity. It sits in the SR3E mid-tier — enterprise-grade hardware and software with a storage capacity sized for moderate-to-large campus and multi-building deployments. The A variant configuration suits agencies and customers with specific feature or compliance requirements.
Key Features
- 2U rack-mount SR3E-A NVR with dual Intel Xeon octa-core CPUs
- 32 GB of system RAM
- 72 TB of usable recording capacity
- Enterprise surveillance drives in RAID configuration
- Hot-swap drive bays for in-rack service
- Hardware-accelerated H.265 decoding for live monitoring
- Pre-tuned i-PRO VMS / Video Insight stack
The 72 TB tier sits between the entry SR3E variants and the larger 100-TB-plus appliances. It's the right size when the camera count is large enough to need enterprise hardware but retention requirements are measured in weeks rather than months. The dual Xeon octa-core CPUs handle VMS services, decode, and analytics simultaneously without contention, and the 32 GB RAM allocation supports metadata indexing for typical channel counts.
Plan retention with the i-PRO bandwidth calculator using actual bitrates and the customer's motion profile. Pair with rack PDUs sized for full draw plus 20 percent and a UPS adequate for RAID-rebuild-time graceful shutdown. Network the appliance on at least 1 GbE per camera bank, with 10 GbE recommended for the appliance uplink to handle concurrent live monitoring and search workloads. Keep cold-spare drives on hand for fast RAID rebuild on drive failure.
