The Luminys R31-8PA4 is an 8-channel 4K NVR built for small commercial deployments that need clean, reliable video without added complexity. Eight integrated PoE ports let cameras connect and power over a single Cat5e or Cat6 run — no secondary switch, no extra cabling. Pair it with Luminys cameras and the unit becomes a camera-edge analytics hub running Intelligent Motion Detection, VCA, Face Detection, and License Plate Recognition on-device, without cloud dependency. NDAA Section 889 compliant, FCC certified, and ONVIF-compatible for flexible camera options.
Built for the commercial installer
The Mini 1U chassis fits a compact equipment cabinet or closet without eating rack space. One SATA slot accepts up to a 10TB HDD; this SKU ships with 4TB installed. H.265 compression keeps storage overhead low across all 8 channels. HDMI (4K) and VGA outputs cover both modern displays and legacy monitors on the same box. LumiCloud Lite is bundled out of the box, giving end-users live remote access via LumiViewer on desktop or mobile from day one — no additional licensing required for basic remote monitoring.
Key features
- 8 plug-and-play PoE ports (IEEE 802.3 af/at): power and video over a single Cat5e/6 run per camera, 72W total PoE budget
- Up to 8MP (4K) recording per channel with H.265/H.264 compression; handles all 8 channels at 1080p or 2 channels at full 4K simultaneously
- Camera-edge analytics: iMD and VCA on all 8 channels, Face Detection and LPR on 4 channels — runs on compatible Luminys cameras, no extra NVR licensing
- 4TB HDD included (1 SATA slot, expandable to 10TB); no hunting down a separate drive to start recording
- LumiCloud Lite included for remote live view and playback via LumiViewer; upgrade to LumiCloud Unity for AI event storage and 30-day rolling cloud video
- NDAA Section 889 compliant — meets federal procurement requirements for government, education, and critical infrastructure installs
System requirements
Connects to your local network via a single RJ-45 port (10/100 Mbps). The 8 onboard PoE ports deliver up to 72W total budget with 25.5W max per port — adequate for most 4K Luminys cameras without a separate injector. Managed via LumiViewer desktop software or the LumiViewer Mobile app; cloud oversight through LumiCloud. ONVIF-compatible cameras will record, but analytics require Luminys-native cameras.
