R3 Starter Series NVR, 8MP 8 Ch Mini 8-Port PoE, 1SATA, Analytics By Camera

SKU LM-R31-8PA

  • Fast shipping from four branches
  • 30-day returns on unopened products

The R31-8PA puts 8-channel 4K recording into a mini enclosure with eight integrated PoE ports, so a small commercial install comes together without a separate switch or a rack-mount chassis. Single SATA bay supports up to 10TB, and analytics -- motion, VCA, face detection, and LPR -- process camera-side to keep recording bandwidth manageable at 80 Mbps.

Built for tight spaces, real commercial installs

The compact chassis fits a wiring closet shelf or small wall-mount enclosure without breaking the camera budget. ONVIF and RTSP interoperability means it accepts cameras from your existing line card, not just Luminys IPC. NDAA Section 889 compliant and FCC certified -- cleared for government, education, and public-sector jobs.

Key benefits

  • Eight built-in PoE ports (802.3 af/at, 72W budget): power cameras directly from the NVR -- no separate switch to mount or commission
  • Up to 8MP (4K) recording with H.265: captures fine detail and keeps file sizes in check on a single HDD
  • Camera-side analytics: intelligent motion detection and VCA on all 8 channels; face detection and LPR on 4 channels -- no server-side license required
  • ONVIF and RTSP compatible: works with cameras already in your kit, not just Luminys hardware
  • LumiCloud Lite included: remote access via LumiViewer app (iOS and Android) at no extra charge; upgrade to HD subscription when the site needs it
  • NDAA Section 889 compliant: eligible for federal and state government contracts

One SATA HDD (up to 10TB, sold separately). Network uplink via single RJ-45 port (10/100 Mbps). Accepts any ONVIF-compatible IP camera or Luminys IPC. Display via HDMI (up to 4K) or VGA.

No. The R31-8PA has 8 built-in PoE ports (IEEE 802.3 af/at) with a 72W total budget and up to 25.5W per port. Cameras connect directly to the NVR -- no external switch required for an 8-camera site.
What analytics does the R31-8PA support?
Analytics run camera-side, no server license required. IMD (8-ch), VCA (8-ch), Face Detection (4-ch), and LPR (4-ch). Smart Search filters footage by target class, channel, time, and event type.
How much HDD storage does this NVR support?
One internal SATA drive, up to 10TB (HDD not included). For longer retention or higher-resolution recording, Luminys also offers the R32-8PA with a 2-SATA configuration.
