Pelco VXP-P3-48-5T 48-Channel 5TB NVR

Pelco VXP-P3-48-5T 48-Channel 5TB NVR

The Pelco VideoXpert Professional Power 3 (VXP-P3-48-5T) is a 48-channel network video recorder engineered for mid-to-large enterprise surveillance deployments. Built on a compact 2RU chassis, this NVR delivers professional-grade recording, storage, and management capabilities while maintaining a flexible footprint between the 36-channel and higher-tier P3 systems. The 5TB raw storage capacity with RAID 5 configuration provides fault tolerance and continuous recording reliability for demanding commercial and industrial environments.

Key Features

• 48-channel NVR with 5TB raw storage in RAID 5 configuration
• 2RU form factor with Windows 10 IoT 2019 operating system
• Intel Xeon Silver processor with 16GB RAM for robust processing
• Dual 1GbE NICs for network connectivity and redundancy
• iDRAC remote management for out-of-band administration
• RAID 5 fault tolerance protects against single drive failure
• NDAA Section 889 compliant for government and regulated installations
• 5-year warranty included with Pelco global support network

Technical Highlights

The VXP-P3-48-5T runs on enterprise-class Intel Xeon Silver processors paired with 16GB of RAM, ensuring smooth handling of multi-channel recording and playback operations. The dual 1GbE network interfaces support both primary connectivity and redundant failover configurations. RAID 5 storage architecture delivers fault tolerance against single-drive failure while maintaining continuous recording—ideal for mission-critical surveillance applications where downtime is not acceptable.

Actual usable capacity depends on drive count and RAID overhead. For organizations requiring Windows Server 2019 with Active Directory and group policy integration, the VXP-P3-48-5N variant is available. For diskless configurations, specify the VXP-P3-48-JN model and add drives separately to match your storage and redundancy requirements.

Applications & Integration

Purpose-built for enterprise surveillance ecosystems, the VXP-P3-48-5T integrates seamlessly with Pelco IP camera systems and third-party ONVIF-compliant devices. Ideal for corporate campuses, retail chains, industrial facilities, transportation hubs, and government installations requiring robust, auditable recording with minimal maintenance overhead. The iDRAC remote management capability enables efficient system monitoring and troubleshooting across distributed deployments.

The 48-channel capacity positions this NVR in the "sweet spot" for organizations outgrowing 36-channel systems but not yet requiring the enterprise scale of larger P3 tiers. RAID 5 is the practical standard for NVR deployments—it balances redundancy with capacity efficiency better than RAID 6 for single-disk failures in this segment. The Intel Xeon Silver processor choice reflects Pelco's commitment to reliable, non-exotic hardware that maintains vendor support and supply chain stability.

For regulated environments, NDAA Section 889 compliance is essential; confirm this applies to your procurement requirements before purchase.
