The Luminys R3 Starter Series NVR lands eight PoE cameras in a compact Mini 1U chassis and starts recording 4K footage on first boot - 2TB HDD pre-installed, no drive sourcing or on-site install. Plug cameras into the eight PoE ports, commission through LumiCloud Lite, and the job is done.
Built for small commercial installations
The R31-8PA2 is NDAA compliant and ONVIF interoperable, so it clears federal, state, and commercial contract requirements without a compliance conversation. Analytics run at the camera edge - Intelligent Motion Detection, Video Content Analysis, Face Detection, and License Plate Recognition on compatible Luminys cameras - so the NVR processes metadata, not raw video. LumiCloud Lite is included for remote viewing via LumiViewer desktop and mobile; upgrade to LumiCloud Unity (sold separately) for 30-day rolling cloud storage and AI-based event alerts.
