SKU:
LM-R42-16PA4

The R42-16PA4 is a 16-channel, 16MP PoE NVR that ships with a 4TB drive pre-installed and 16 built-in PoE ports onboard. Hang it in the rack, connect cameras directly, and start recording without a separate switch or a second trip for storage.

Built for the commercial installer

ONVIF and RTSP compatibility mean it drops into mixed-camera environments without proprietary lock-in. NDAA-compliant construction keeps it eligible for government, education, and state-funded contracts. The 1U form factor fits standard 19-inch racks with the included mounting brackets, and dual SATA bays let you scale to 32TB total storage as camera counts grow.

Do I need a separate PoE switch to power cameras?
No. The R42-16PA4 has 16 built-in PoE ports with a 130W total power budget (25.5W max per port). In most standard camera deployments no separate switch is needed.
Does this NVR ship with storage already installed?
Yes. The R42-16PA4 includes a 4TB HDD pre-installed. It has two SATA bays that each support drives up to 16TB (32TB total) for future expansion.
Is the R42-16PA4 NDAA-compliant?
Yes. The NVR is NDAA-compliant, making it eligible for government, education, and state-funded contract deployments.

Any ONVIF-compliant IP camera connects via RTSP. The system is optimized for Luminys cameras up to 16MP, and works with third-party ONVIF cameras as well.
What analytics can the NVR run without a separate server?
NVR-side: motion detection (4ch), VCA/intrusion (2ch), face detection (8ch), face recognition (1ch). Camera-side analytics (up to 8ch each for motion, VCA, face, LPR) run on the camera and pass events to the NVR.
