R3 Starter Series NVR, 8MP 8 Ch 8-Port PoE, 2SATA, Analytics By Camera

SKU LM-R32-8PA

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

The R32-8PA is an 8-channel 4K NVR with eight built-in PoE ports -- cameras plug directly in without a separate switch, and the recorder powers them over the same run. Two SATA bays hold up to 20TB, and LumiAnalytics edge processing runs iMD, VCA, face detection, and LPR at the camera so the NVR isn't carrying the analytics compute load.

Built for the commercial installer

NDAA-compliant and FCC-certified. ONVIF and RTSP interoperability means it accepts any compliant IP camera, not just Luminys. LumiCloud Lite ships standard for remote access and mobile viewing -- cloud recording is available via a paid LumiCloud HD upgrade if the job requires it. 160 Mbps incoming bandwidth handles all eight channels at full resolution simultaneously.

Key capabilities

  • 8-port built-in PoE (IEEE 802.3 af/at): cameras connect and power from one cable, no separate switch required
  • Up to 8MP across all 8 channels with H.265 compression -- full 4K retention without oversized storage costs
  • Dual SATA, up to 20TB total: size storage to the job's retention requirement on the first visit
  • LumiAnalytics by Camera: iMD, VCA, face detection, and LPR run at the camera edge -- the NVR searches and plays back, it doesn't process
  • HDMI 4K + VGA outputs for dual-monitor setups without a separate splitter
  • NDAA-compliant for government, municipal, and institutional project eligibility

System requirements

Accepts ONVIF-compatible IP cameras. Luminys cameras with LumiAnalytics by Camera unlock full analytics search and smart search by target classification. Storage drives sold separately -- surveillance-grade 24/7-rated HDDs recommended. One 1 Gbps uplink port for client access and cloud connectivity.

FAQs

Does the R32-8PA require a separate PoE switch?
No. Eight PoE ports (IEEE 802.3 af/at) are built into the NVR rear panel. Cameras connect directly to the recorder -- no additional switch or injector needed for a standard 8-camera deployment.
Will it work with cameras other than Luminys?
Yes. The R32-8PA supports ONVIF and RTSP, so any compliant third-party IP camera can be added. Full LumiAnalytics search features require Luminys cameras with Analytics by Camera.
How much storage can the NVR hold?
Two SATA bays, up to 10TB per drive -- 20TB maximum. Drives are sold separately. Luminys recommends surveillance-grade HDDs rated for 24/7 operation.
Is the R32-8PA NDAA-compliant?
Yes. The R32-8PA is NDAA Section 889 compliant, making it eligible for government, municipal, and institutional procurement.
What analytics does the NVR support?
iMD and VCA on all 8 channels, Face Detection and LPR on 4 channels -- processed at the camera edge via LumiAnalytics by Camera. Smart search by classification, channel, time, and event type.
What remote access options are included?
LumiCloud Lite is included at no extra cost and covers remote access, live view, and mobile monitoring via the LumiViewer app. Cloud recording requires an upgrade to a paid LumiCloud HD subscription.
What video outputs does the R32-8PA have?
One HDMI output supporting up to 4K (3840x2160) and one VGA output supporting up to 1920x1080 -- allows connecting a primary 4K monitor and a secondary display simultaneously.
