Luminys | R5 Mainstream NVR, 32MP 16 Ch 16-Port PoE, 2SATA, Lumipower, Lumisearch+ , 8TB | R52-16PA8

The Luminys R52-16PA8 is a 16-channel, 1U NVR with 8TB onboard and recorder-side AI analytics that actually earn their headline. LumiSearch+ tracks targets across 16 channels by body shape, clothing color, and custom intrusion zones. No per-camera licensing required. LumiPower extends PoE up to 3,000 feet on ports 1-8, cutting mid-run injectors out of the job entirely. If you're speccing a high-resolution system for a large campus, retail chain, or commercial site and need NDAA compliance off the shelf, this is the right recorder.

Built for the commercial installer

NDAA compliant and FCC certified, the R52-16PA8 ships with 8TB installed and a second SATA bay open for expansion up to 32TB total. All 16 PoE ports are IEEE 802.3 af/at with a 130W total budget and 25.5W per-port max, leaving headroom for multi-sensor and PTZ loads. A single Gigabit uplink connects to your management network; LumiCloud Lite is included for remote access without an additional subscription.
