SKU:
LM-R32-8PA2

The Luminys R32-8PA2 is an 8-channel 1U NVR built around a built-in 8-port PoE switch - no external switch, no extra cabling. Connect up to eight cameras directly to the unit, power and data on the same run. The 2TB HDD ships pre-installed and a second SATA bay sits open for expansion up to 10TB per drive. NDAA Section 889 compliant out of the box.

Built for the professional installer

Recording bandwidth of 160 Mbps handles 8MP streams across all eight channels simultaneously, decoding up to two channels at 8MP or eight channels at 1080p for live display. ONVIF support keeps it open to third-party cameras while pairing with Luminys cameras unlocks camera-edge analytics - iMD, VCA, Face Detection, and LPR - without adding server-side compute. LumiViewer desktop and mobile apps are free; LumiCloud Lite is included with the NVR for basic remote access.

  • 8 integrated PoE ports: IEEE 802.3 af/at, 115W total budget, 25.5W max per port - powers cameras directly without a separate switch
  • 8MP (4K) recording on all eight channels at 160 Mbps recording bandwidth
  • 2TB HDD pre-installed with a second SATA bay open for expansion up to 10TB

  • ONVIF and RTSP compatible for integration with third-party cameras and VMS platforms
  • NDAA Section 889 compliant, FCC certified
  • LumiCloud Lite included; upgrade to LumiCloud HD Video Unity (sold separately) for cloud recording and AI-based event storage

System requirements

The NVR connects to your existing network via a single RJ-45 port (10/100/1000 Mbps). Cameras plug directly into the rear PoE ports - no external switch needed for up to 8 cameras. Management via LumiViewer desktop, LumiViewer Mobile, or LumiCloud. A monitor with HDMI or VGA input is required for local display.

What cameras are compatible with this NVR?
Any ONVIF-compatible IP camera can record to the R32-8PA2 via the built-in PoE ports. For camera-edge analytics (iMD, VCA, Face Detection, LPR), compatible Luminys cameras are required - analytics processing runs at the camera, not the NVR.
How many cameras can this NVR support?
Up to 8 cameras connect directly to the built-in 8-port PoE switch. No external PoE switch is needed for a full 8-camera deployment.
Does the NVR ship with storage pre-installed?
Yes. The R32-8PA2 includes a 2TB HDD installed. The second SATA bay is empty and accepts a drive up to 10TB, for a maximum of 20TB total on-board storage.
What is the total PoE power budget?
115W across all 8 ports, with a maximum of 25.5W per individual port. Plan your camera power draw accordingly - high-PTZ and multi-sensor cameras often pull 15-25W each.
Is this NVR NDAA compliant?
Yes. The R32-8PA2 is compliant with NDAA Section 889, which prohibits the use of certain Chinese-manufactured communications equipment in federal projects and government-funded installations.
What analytics does the NVR support, and do I need a subscription?
Supports iMD, VCA, Face Detection, and LPR via camera-edge processing. No NVR-side AI license required. Compatible Luminys cameras are needed to enable these features - analytics run at the camera, not the recorder.
What remote access software is included?
LumiViewer desktop and mobile apps are free downloads. LumiCloud Lite is included with the NVR for basic remote access. A full LumiCloud HD Video Unity subscription (LCL-HDV-U, sold separately) adds cloud recording and AI-based event storage.
What is included in the box?
NVR with 2TB HDD installed, power cable, 2 rack mounting brackets, USB mouse, 2 SATA data cables, 1 SATA power cable, CAT5E patch cable, mounting screws, anti-slip pads, and a Quick Start Guide.
