Luminys | R5 Mainstream NVR, 32MP 8 Ch 8-Port PoE, 2SATA, Lumipower, Lumisearch+, 2TB | R52-8PA2

The Luminys R52-8PA2 is an 8-channel 1U NVR built for installers who need serious resolution headroom and smart analytics without a rack full of servers. With 8 PoE ports extended by LumiPower -- pushing data and power up to 3,000 feet -- and 32MP recording capability across all 8 channels, this box handles everything from tight retail corridors to sprawling campus perimeters. LumiSearch+ makes it fast to locate a person of interest by body shape, clothing color, and custom intrusion zone.

Built for the commercial installer

The R52-8PA2 is NDAA Section 889 compliant and FCC certified. Two onboard SATA bays support up to 16TB per drive, and this unit ships with a 2TB HDD already installed and ready to record. ONVIF compatibility lets it integrate cleanly into mixed-camera environments. LumiViewer desktop and mobile apps give end users real-time monitoring, playback, and alarm notifications at no added licensing cost.

Key features

• 32MP recording across 8 channels: handles the full Luminys resolution stack from CIF up through 32MP, future-proofing camera upgrades
• LumiPower PoE extends to 3,000 ft: powers and connects cameras in large facilities without additional injectors or extenders
• LumiSearch+ on all 8 channels: finds targets by body shape, clothing color, and custom zones -- camera must be LumiSearch+ compatible
• Analytics by recorder and by camera: iMD, VCA (10 rules per channel), and face recognition run at the NVR; camera-side AI (video metadata, LPR) feeds in alongside
• 130W total PoE budget, 25.5W per port: supports IEEE 802.3 af/at cameras; rack- or desktop-mount 1U chassis
• 2TB HDD included: ready to record on day one; expandable to 32TB across both SATA bays

System requirements

Each PoE port runs at 10/100 Mbps. Recording bandwidth tops out at 256 Mbps (AI off) or 200 Mbps (AI on) -- plan camera counts accordingly for mixed-AI deployments. LumiSearch+ requires a LumiSearch+-enabled camera; activating it disables Analytics by Recorder, Local Fisheye Dewarp, and the NVR face database (IP cameras retain their own face database access). LumiCloud Unity subscriptions are sold separately; LumiCloud Lite is included at no additional charge.
