SKU:
LM-R42-16PA

The Luminys R42-16PA is a 16-channel, 16-port PoE NVR built for commercial security deployments where recording quality and recorder-based analytics matter. It handles up to 16MP camera resolution with iMD, VCA, face detection, face recognition, and LPR running natively on the unit — no separate analytics server required — and ships with LumiCloud Lite included for remote access out of the box.

Built for the commercial installer

The R42-16PA runs H.265+ compression across all 16 PoE channels over a single Gigabit uplink, with 256Mbps recording bandwidth (180Mbps with AI on). A 4K HDMI output and dual 3.5" SATA bays — up to 16TB per drive — keep display and storage options flexible for a wide range of site requirements. NDAA-compliant and FCC-certified. Fits standard 1U rack or runs desktop.

Key features

  • 16-channel, 16-port PoE (IEEE 802.3af/at): 130W total PoE budget, 25.5W per port max — covers full camera deployments from a single device with no external PoE switch needed
  • Up to 16MP recording: H.265+, H.265, H.264+, H.264, and MJPEG codec support with 256Mbps recording bandwidth
  • AI analytics at the recorder: iMD, VCA, face detection, face recognition, and LPR run natively — no additional analytics server or license needed
  • 4K HDMI + 1080p VGA outputs: dual-display support for monitoring stations and command centers
  • 2x SATA bays: up to 16TB per HDD for scalable local storage without replacing the recorder
  • ONVIF and RTSP: broad third-party camera and VMS compatibility out of the box
  • LumiCloud Lite included: remote access and mobile monitoring at no extra cost — LumiCloud Unity available as an optional upgrade
  • NDAA-compliant: suitable for government and enterprise security deployments

Is the R42-16PA NDAA-compliant?
Yes. The R42-16PA is NDAA Section 889-compliant, making it suitable for federal, state, and enterprise security deployments with supply-chain requirements.
Does this NVR support third-party cameras?
Yes. The R42-16PA supports ONVIF and RTSP, providing broad compatibility with third-party IP cameras and VMS platforms beyond the Luminys ecosystem.
How much PoE power budget does the R42-16PA have?
130W total across 16 ports, with a maximum of 25.5W per port. This supports most standard PoE and PoE+ cameras without a separate PoE switch.
Does remote access require a subscription?
No subscription is required for basic remote access. LumiCloud Lite is included at no extra charge and supports remote viewing via LumiViewer Mobile. LumiCloud Unity, with advanced cloud features, is available as an optional paid subscription.
What is the maximum local storage capacity?
Two SATA bays, each supporting HDDs up to 16TB — up to 32TB raw storage total. HDDs are sold separately. Standard 3.5" SATA drives are compatible.
Can this NVR run analytics without a separate server?
Yes. The R42-16PA runs iMD, VCA, face detection, face recognition, and LPR analytics natively on the recorder hardware. No additional analytics server, license, or edge device is required.
What decoding capacity does the R42-16PA have?
With AI off: 2CH@16MP, 4CH@8MP, 8CH@4MP, or 16CH@1080p. With AI on: 1CH@16MP, 3CH@8MP, 5CH@4MP, or 8CH@1080p. Enabling AI reduces available decoding bandwidth.
