The Luminys R32-16PA4 is a 16-channel 4K NVR built for commercial deployments that need reliability without added complexity. Sixteen built-in PoE ports power and connect cameras directly - no separate switch required. Two SATA bays handle up to 20TB total, and the 4TB drive ships pre-installed and ready to record.

Built for the commercial installer

NDAA-compliant and FCC-certified, the R32-16PA4 clears procurement requirements for government, education, and enterprise projects without extra paperwork. Analytics run at the camera level - intelligent motion detection on 12 channels, VCA on 8, face detection and LPR on 4 each - so you get structured search and event detection without licensing fees or server overhead. ONVIF and RTSP interoperability keep it compatible in mixed-camera environments.
