The Luminys R3 Starter Series NVR gives installers a ready-to-run 16-channel recording platform with 16 built-in PoE ports, 8MP resolution support, and an 8TB drive already inside — no extra switches, no separate NAS, no hunting for compatible drives at the supply house.
Built for the commercial installer
NDAA Section 889 compliant and FCC certified, the R32-16PA8 fits commercial bid specs that require domestic supply chain compliance. Camera enrollment follows Luminys plug-and-play auto-discovery, and the unit connects to LumiViewer desktop, LumiViewer Mobile, and LumiCloud Lite out of the box. ONVIF compatibility keeps third-party cameras on the table when the job calls for it.
Key features
- 16 built-in PoE ports: IEEE 802.3 af/at, 115W total budget (25.5W max per port) — eliminates a separate PoE switch for most jobs
- 8MP recording across all 16 channels: supports 8MP, 6MP, 5MP, 4MP, 1080p, and lower resolutions; 2-ch 8MP @ 30fps decoding
- 8TB pre-installed: second SATA bay open for expansion up to 10TB per drive
- Camera-side analytics included: Intelligent Motion Detection on all 16 channels, VCA on 8 channels, Face Detection and LPR on 4 channels each — no NVR-side license needed
- NDAA Section 889 compliant: FCC certified, ready for government and commercial projects with supply chain requirements
- LumiCloud Lite included: remote access via LumiViewer and LumiViewer Mobile from day one; upgrade to LumiCloud for cloud recording (sold separately)
System requirements
The R32-16PA8 is a standalone unit. Network cameras connect directly to the 16 PoE ports on the rear — no PoE switch required for up to 16 cameras. A 1 Gbps uplink network connection is recommended for remote viewing. Luminys cameras are required for camera-side analytics features; third-party ONVIF cameras record normally but analytics are not available.
