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

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.

FAQs

What cameras are compatible with this NVR?
ONVIF-conformant. Works with Luminys and most third-party ONVIF cameras. Camera-side analytics (iMD, VCA, Face Detection, LPR) require Luminys cameras. Third-party cameras record normally without analytics.
Does this NVR come with hard drives, or do I need to supply my own?
This SKU (R32-16PA8) ships with an 8TB hard drive pre-installed. The second SATA bay is empty and accepts drives up to 10TB for future expansion.
Do I need a separate PoE switch?
No. The R32-16PA8 has 16 built-in PoE ports on the rear panel, eliminating the need for a separate PoE switch for up to 16 cameras. Total PoE budget is 115W with a maximum of 25.5W per individual port.
Is this NVR NDAA compliant?
Yes. The R32-16PA8 is NDAA Section 889 compliant and FCC certified, meeting requirements for government and commercial projects with supply chain restrictions.
Does this work with LumiCloud remote access?
LumiCloud Lite is included at no extra charge, enabling remote viewing via LumiViewer desktop software and the LumiViewer Mobile app. Cloud video recording (LCL-HDV-U) requires an upgrade to a paid LumiCloud subscription (sold separately).
How many channels support analytics?
Intelligent Motion Detection: 16-ch. VCA: 8-ch. Face Detection: 4-ch. LPR: 4-ch. All analytics are camera-side — no NVR license required. Luminys cameras required for all analytics features.
