Geovision 72-PS500-R8P Redundant Power Supply
Overview
The Geovision 72-PS500-R8P is a 500W redundant power supply designed to eliminate single points of failure in surveillance installations. This accessory provides automatic failover protection for Geovision NVR and DVR systems that support dual power input configurations — meaning if your primary supply fails, the backup activates instantly with no operator intervention. Deploy this when uptime is non-negotiable: financial institutions, control centers, critical infrastructure monitoring where a power hiccup translates to lost footage and liability.
Compatibility
The 72-PS500-R8P is engineered for Geovision NVR and DVR systems with dual power input support. Verify your specific recorder model supports redundant power architecture before ordering — not all Geovision recorders accept dual supplies. Confirm compatibility with your system documentation or contact a Geovision integrator if you are uncertain which recorders in your fleet support this configuration.
Installation Notes
This unit features hot-swap capability, allowing you to replace or service one supply while the other maintains power — critical for continuous operation facilities. The 500W capacity is sized for mid-range multi-channel systems; confirm your recorder's total power draw plus any attached storage or network equipment does not exceed 500W per supply in the redundant pair. Wiring must follow industrial-grade practices: use appropriately rated connectors and separate the primary and secondary supplies across different circuit breakers or UPS units to avoid a common-mode failure. Do not daisy-chain supplies or share the same power distribution point — the failover protection only works if both supplies are on independent power sources.
