SKU:
LM-R52-16PA

The Luminys R52-16PA puts 8K recording, 16-port PoE, and AI-driven search into a single 1U chassis. LumiPower extends PoE delivery up to 3,000 feet on ports 1-8 -- cutting the need for repeaters or additional power runs on large campus and commercial installs. LumiSearch+ pulls footage of a specific subject across all 16 channels using a reference image (body shape, clothing color) without manually scrubbing hours of video. NDAA compliant out of the box.

Built for the commercial installer

Handles up to 32MP per channel across all 16 channels, with on-board face recognition, VCA, iMD, and LPR -- no per-camera AI licensing required. ONVIF and RTSP interoperability keeps it compatible with your existing camera mix. The 130W PoE power budget (25.5W max per port, IEEE 802.3 af/at) covers a full 16-camera run. Dual SATA bays accept drives up to 16TB each. Rack or desktop mount.

Key features

  • 8K / 32MP recording: 16 simultaneous channels, synchronous playback on all 16
  • LumiPower on ports 1-8: extends PoE up to 3,000 ft -- no repeaters, no extra power hardware
  • LumiSearch+: reference-image target search across all 16 channels with clothing-color and body-shape attributes
  • On-board analytics: iMD (8CH), VCA (4CH, 10 rules/channel), face recognition (2CH capture + 16CH alarm), LPR (8CH)
  • Dual SATA, up to 16TB per drive: 130W PoE budget, 25.5W max per port
  • NDAA compliant, ONVIF-compatible: FCC certified, integrates across mixed camera environments

System requirements

LumiSearch+ requires LumiSearch+-enabled cameras. Enabling LumiSearch+ disables analytics by recorder, local fisheye dewarp, and the NVR face database -- IP cameras retain database access. LumiViewer (desktop and mobile) and LumiCloud remote access are included at no additional charge. Network via single RJ-45 GbE. Drives sold separately.

Does the R52-16PA require LumiSearch+-enabled cameras?
Yes -- LumiSearch+-enabled cameras required. Enabling LumiSearch+ disables analytics by recorder, fisheye dewarp, and the NVR face database (IP cameras retain access). Standard Luminys/ONVIF cameras record and run basic analytics regardless.
How far does LumiPower extend PoE?
LumiPower extends Power over Ethernet up to 3,000 feet over a single cable run. This applies to ports 1-8 on the R52-16PA, eliminating repeaters or secondary power hardware in large campus, parking, or industrial installations.
How many drives does it support and what is the max storage?
Two SATA drives, up to 16TB per drive -- 32TB raw without expansion. Drives are not included with the unit.
Is the R52-16PA NDAA compliant?
Yes. The R52-16PA is NDAA compliant and FCC certified -- safe for government, education, and other federally funded installations.
What is the PoE power budget per port?
130W total across all 16 PoE ports. Maximum 25.5W per individual port. Standard IEEE 802.3 af/at. Plan your camera power draws accordingly when populating all 16 ports.
Does this NVR work with non-Luminys cameras?
Yes. The R52-16PA supports ONVIF and RTSP, so it integrates with third-party cameras. AI analytics (iMD, VCA, face recognition) depend on the connected camera's capabilities. LumiSearch+ requires Luminys LumiSearch+-enabled cameras.
What is the decoding capacity with AI enabled vs. disabled?
AI On: 1CH at 32MP, 2CH at 16MP, 4CH at 8MP, or 12CH at 4MP (all at 30 fps). AI Off doubles the capacity: 2CH at 32MP, 4CH at 16MP, 8CH at 8MP, or 16CH at 4MP. Recording bandwidth drops from 400 Mbps to 220 Mbps when AI is on.
