SKU:
LM-R52-8PA

The Luminys R52-8PA puts 8K NVR capability and eight built-in PoE ports in a single 1U chassis. It handles up to 32MP recording across 8 channels, delivers 256 Mbps of recording bandwidth with AI off (200 Mbps with AI on), and stores footage on two internal SATA drives up to 32TB total. NDAA compliant, FCC certified.

Built for the commercial installer

LumiSearch+ turns hours of footage review into a seconds-long task: feed the recorder a reference image and it returns matching targets across all 8 channels by body shape, clothing color, or custom intrusion zone. LumiPower extends PoE delivery up to 3,000 feet, cutting out repeaters and extra power drops on sprawling installs. On-box analytics (iMD, VCA+, Face Recognition) offload compute from cameras -- useful on mixed deployments where not every camera has edge AI. ONVIF and RTSP interoperability let you mix in third-party cameras without a separate NVR.

Key features

  • 8K across 8 channels: records up to 32MP; decodes 12 simultaneous streams at 4MP (AI off)
  • LumiSearch+: attribute, animal, and custom-zone target search across all 8 channels -- camera must support LumiSearch+
  • LumiPower PoE: 8x IEEE 802.3 af/at ports with 130W total budget and up to 3,000-ft transmission range per port
  • On-box analytics: iMD and VCA+ on 8 channels; Face Recognition up to 20 libraries / 20,000 faces; LPR on 8 channels (requires LPR camera)
  • Dual SATA bays: supports up to 16TB per drive (32TB total); drives not included
  • ONVIF/RTSP compatible: integrates with third-party IP cameras for mixed-vendor deployments
  • NDAA compliant: meets federal procurement requirements for government and sensitive commercial sites

System requirements

Cameras connect to the 8 onboard PoE ports (10/100 Mbps per port). Network uplink is a single RJ-45 Gigabit port. Two 3.5" SATA HDDs (up to 16TB each, not included) are required for recording. LumiSearch+ requires LumiSearch+-compatible cameras. Remote access and management via the LumiViewer desktop app or LumiViewer mobile app. LumiCloud Lite is included; LumiCloud Unity subscriptions are sold separately.

Is the R52-8PA NDAA compliant?
Yes. The R52-8PA meets NDAA Section 889 compliance requirements, making it eligible for government and sensitive commercial installations.
How many cameras can the R52-8PA support?
The R52-8PA supports 8 IP cameras connected directly to its 8 onboard PoE ports. Additional cameras cannot be added beyond the 8-channel limit.
What is the PoE budget per port?
Each PoE port delivers up to 25.5W, with a total PoE budget of 130W across all 8 ports. Both IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at cameras are supported.
Does LumiSearch+ work with any camera?
No. LumiSearch+ requires LumiSearch+-compatible cameras. Standard ONVIF cameras will record and display normally, but target attribute search requires Luminys-compatible cameras with LumiSearch+ capability.
What hard drives does the R52-8PA support?
The R52-8PA has two 3.5" SATA bays, each supporting up to 16TB for a maximum of 32TB total. HDDs are not included. Use surveillance-rated drives (e.g., Seagate SkyHawk, WD Purple) for best reliability.
Can I use third-party ONVIF cameras with the R52-8PA?
Yes. The R52-8PA supports ONVIF and RTSP, so third-party IP cameras can be added to the system. Full LumiSearch+ and LumiAnalytics features require compatible Luminys cameras; ONVIF cameras will record normally without those advanced analytics.
What is LumiPower and how far does PoE reach?
LumiPower extends PoE delivery up to 3,000 feet -- far beyond the standard 328-foot limit -- eliminating PoE extenders and extra power drops on larger job sites. Both IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at cameras are supported.
How do I access footage remotely?
The R52-8PA works with the LumiViewer desktop application and the LumiViewer mobile app for remote live view and playback. LumiCloud Lite is included; LumiCloud Unity subscriptions are available separately for additional cloud features.
