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.
