SKU:
LM-R31-4PA

The Luminys R31-4PA is a 4-channel mini NVR built for small commercial deployments where simplicity and NDAA compliance aren't negotiable. Four built-in PoE ports handle camera power and data over a single cable — no separate switch, no extra wiring run. Records up to 8MP, outputs 4K over HDMI, and supports analytics processed at the camera so the NVR isn't carrying the compute load.

Built for small commercial installs

Mini 1U desktop form factor tucks into a closet, utility room, or equipment shelf without rack space. One SATA bay supports up to 10TB — right-sized for a 4-camera system with weeks of retention at typical settings. ONVIF compatibility lets it work beyond Luminys cameras when the job calls for it. NDAA Section 889 compliant and FCC certified. LumiCloud Lite is included from the factory for remote access without extra licensing on entry deployments.

Key features

  • 4 built-in PoE ports (IEEE 802.3 af/at): one cable per camera, no PoE switch required, 36W total PoE budget with up to 25.5W per port
  • 8MP recording at 30fps across all 4 channels, with 4K HDMI and VGA outputs for local monitoring
  • Analytics by Camera: intelligent motion detection, VCA, face detection, face recognition, LPR, and video metadata - processed at the camera to keep NVR CPU load minimal
  • H.265 compression cuts storage footprint without sacrificing image quality
  • NDAA Section 889 compliant - eligible for government and compliance-sensitive commercial jobs
  • LumiCloud Lite included for remote viewing via LumiViewer PC or mobile app; upgrade to LumiCloud Unity for cloud storage and advanced features

Does the R31-4PA require a separate PoE switch?
No. The R31-4PA has four built-in PoE ports (IEEE 802.3 af/at), so cameras connect directly to the NVR over a single Cat5e/Cat6 cable. Total PoE budget is 36W with up to 25.5W available per port.
What cameras are compatible with this NVR?
The R31-4PA is fully compatible with Luminys cameras and also supports ONVIF and RTSP cameras from third-party manufacturers. For full analytics-by-camera features (VCA, LPR, face detection), use Luminys cameras with LumiAnalytics support.
Is the R31-4PA NDAA compliant?
Yes. The R31-4PA is NDAA Section 889 compliant, making it eligible for government contracts and compliance-sensitive commercial projects. It is also FCC certified.
How much storage does it support, and is a hard drive included?
The R31-4PA has one SATA port and supports a single HDD up to 10TB. A hard drive is not included and must be purchased separately. Luminys recommends surveillance-grade HDDs for 24/7 recording.
Does it include remote access, or is there an additional subscription?
LumiCloud Lite is included at no extra cost and provides remote viewing via LumiViewer (PC) or LumiViewer Mobile (iOS/Android). LumiCloud Unity with cloud storage and advanced features requires a separate annual subscription license.
What analytics does this NVR support?
All 4 channels support Analytics by Camera: Intelligent Motion Detection, VCA, Face Detection, Face Recognition, LPR, and Video Metadata. Processing happens at the camera, keeping NVR overhead minimal.
