SKU LM-R31-4PA6

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

The Luminys R31-4PA6 is a plug-and-play 4-channel NVR built for small commercial deployments where simplicity matters. Four built-in PoE ports, a 6TB pre-installed hard drive, and support for up to 8MP camera resolution make it a clean one-box solution for retail, small office, and light commercial work. It ships ready to record -- no separate storage purchase, no extra PoE switch.

Built for the commercial installer

NDAA-compliant and FCC-certified, the R31-4PA6 fits compliance-sensitive jobs without extra paperwork. ONVIF interoperability keeps it open to the cameras you already stock. Analytics by Camera offloads processing to the edge -- the NVR pulls camera-side metadata for iMD, VCA, Face Detection, and LPR rather than burning local cycles on analytics, keeping the box efficient and storage lean. LumiCloud Lite is included for remote access via LumiViewer; upgrade to a paid LumiCloud subscription to unlock cloud recording and 30-day AI event storage.

Key features

  • 4-channel, 4-port PoE plug-and-play: one cable per camera, no separate PoE switch required
  • 8MP / 4K recording and HDMI output: HDMI up to 4K (3840x2160); decodes 2-channel 8MP or 4-channel 1080p simultaneously
  • 6TB HDD pre-installed: ships ready to record -- no storage purchase needed on small jobs; field-upgradeable to 10TB
  • Analytics by Camera on all 4 channels: iMD, VCA, Face Detection, and LPR run at the camera edge, reducing NVR load
  • NDAA-compliant, ONVIF, FCC: passes compliance review on government and commercial jobs
  • LumiCloud Lite included: remote access and management via LumiViewer mobile app, no additional subscription required

System requirements

Supports any ONVIF-compatible IP camera for basic recording. Analytics by Camera (iMD, VCA, Face Detection, LPR) requires Luminys-branded cameras that process metadata at the edge. Network access via one 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 port. For LPR analytics, pair with Luminys LPR-capable camera models.

FAQs

Does this NVR require Luminys cameras to work?
No. The R31-4PA6 is ONVIF-compatible and records from third-party cameras. Analytics by Camera (iMD, VCA, Face Detection, LPR) requires Luminys cameras. Standard ONVIF cameras record without analytics.
How many cameras can I connect, and does it need a separate PoE switch?
Four (4) cameras maximum. The four built-in PoE ports eliminate the need for a separate switch -- one cable per camera, plug and play. Max PoE output is 36W total (25.5W per port).
Does this unit ship with a hard drive?
Yes. The R31-4PA6 includes a 6TB HDD pre-installed and ships ready to record. The SATA bay supports a single drive up to 10TB if you need to upgrade later. SATA data cable and SATA power cable are included in the box.
Is this NVR NDAA compliant?
Yes. The R31-4PA6 is NDAA-compliant and FCC-certified, making it eligible for compliance-sensitive government and commercial deployments.
What analytics does this NVR support?
Analytics by Camera on all 4 channels: iMD, VCA, Face Detection, and LPR. All analytics run at the camera edge -- the NVR retrieves metadata rather than processing locally. Luminys cameras required.
What is LumiCloud Lite and does it cost extra?
LumiCloud Lite is included at no cost. It provides remote access, real-time alerts, and basic cloud management via LumiViewer. Cloud recording requires a paid LumiCloud license (LCL-HDV-U, per camera).
Can I manage this NVR remotely from my phone?
Yes. Remote access uses the LumiViewer mobile app. LumiCloud Lite, included with the unit, supports live view, remote playback, device monitoring, and alerts without an additional subscription.
