Luma Surveillance™ 501 Series DVR
With HD-TVI support, up to 2TB of pre-installed internal storage, and native live streaming to different control systems’ user interfaces, this recorder makes it easy for your customers to check on what matters.

HD Analog
Thanks to HD-TVI technology, this DVR features support for ultra-sharp resolutions up to 1080p. Combine it with our Luma analog cameras for the best possible image quality.
Camera Compatibility
Our 501 series was crafted specifically to work with both Luma and Wirepath cameras. Luma recorders are even backwards compatible with all traditional analog cameras up to 960H.

Intuitive User Interface
End users and installers alike will love our clean user interface. Rewind and fast forward, jump backward or forward 15 seconds, pause, take a snapshot, playback, and zoom to your heart’s content. All of these options are easily controlled with a tap or a swipe.

Dedicated App
iOS or Android? Either way, Luma’s got you covered. Our Luma mobile app is built using the same intuitive design as the desktop UI, so you can continually provide peace of mind to your clients with on-the-go updates —anytime, anywhere.

Control System Integration
With our control partners, we’ve created IR/RS232/IP drivers to control the DVR’s on-screen GUI through the HDMI output. If you’re looking for video streaming to control systems, we’ve got you covered. Compatible with Control 4, Crestron, ELAN g! & URC.

Remotely Optimize OSD - After Dark
Need to fine-tune OSD settings after dark, but can’t roll a truck or run an extra RS-485? Just log in remotely to the DVR – our recorders feature built-in control thanks to HD-TVI technology.
HDMI Out
An included HDMI output allows you to hook up your recorder to a computer monitor to view any image from the live feed. So go ahead and check the camera matrix on a whim, without all the added hassle.

LumaLink: Your P2P Setup Solution
Manage all your Luma devices under your OvrC account. Our convenient P2P service, LumaLink, is faster and more secure than traditional port forwarding and DDNS. Sync your P2P-enabled devices between OvrC and the Luma app, or enjoy full desktop access through our Luma VMS application to configure and manage the system. Note: VMS is only compatible with Windows PCs.
Easy Install and Setup
Setup is easy with our Luma utility. Featuring large, easy-to-find icons, you can access the utility on your PC and view the DVR User Interface through your web browser.
Browser Compatibility
PC - Internet Explorer
Mac - Safari (version 11 and earlier)
Rack-Mountable
Our sleek DVRs are all rack-mountable so you can keep things neat and tucked out of the way.
We make high-definition surveillance look easy.
