This guide translates Luminys feature names into practical shopping decisions, then shows which recorder family preserves the advanced analytics selected in Plan a System.
Use the natural-language examples when searching. Counts reflect active camera descriptions in this store and do not substitute for a model datasheet.
Classifies human and vehicle motion so alerts can focus on meaningful activity instead of every pixel change. Shoppers may know the general industry term SMD; Luminys names this feature iMD.
56 active camera models explicitly document this featureUses line-crossing and intrusion rules to create alerts when a target crosses a virtual line or enters a protected area.
58 active camera models explicitly document this featureAdds loitering and parking detection to line-crossing and intrusion rules on supported models.
21 active camera models explicitly document this featureDetects and captures faces for search and event workflows. Face detection is different from identifying a person by name.
26 active camera models explicitly document this featureUses supported object rules and metadata to identify relevant objects or object conditions in the scene.
24 active camera models explicitly document this featureFinds a person or vehicle in recorded video from a reference image across supported cameras connected to a compatible recorder.
27 active camera models explicitly document this featureAdds attribute filtering and trajectory tools to reference-image video search on supported cameras and recorders.
16 active camera models explicitly document this featureCompares detected faces with a configured recorder-side face library on supported recorders. This is distinct from the privacy-oriented LumiSearch workflow.
0 active camera models explicitly document this featureCaptures and recognizes license plates when a purpose-built LPR camera is used with the recorder workflow.
1 active camera model explicitly document this featureCreates searchable person or vehicle metadata on supported enterprise recorders for faster investigations.
0 active camera models explicitly document this featureThe Luminys umbrella for face detection, people counting, queue management, heat maps, and smart object detection on supported models.
24 active camera models explicitly document this featureCounts entries, exits, line crossings, or people within a defined area on supported camera and recorder combinations.
27 active camera models explicitly document this featureMeasures queue activity on supported models to help operators understand customer wait areas and congestion.
26 active camera models explicitly document this featureVisualizes activity concentration over time to show where people spend time within a scene.
25 active camera models explicitly document this featureAutomatically tracks people or vehicles with supported PTZ and tracking-enabled cameras.
8 active camera models explicitly document this featureCombines supported lights and audible warnings with camera events to provide a visible and audible response.
8 active camera models explicitly document this featureEvery family records video; the difference is where analytics run and which advanced workflows the recorder exposes.

Luminys documentation notes that enabling LumiSearch on R5 can limit simultaneous recorder-side face detection, face recognition, VCA, iMD, and fisheye dewarping. The system builder surfaces that note whenever it applies.
Luminys documentation notes that camera-side People Counting and VCA can be mutually exclusive on a channel. Final programming should choose the event type the location needs most.
Plate recognition requires an LPR camera plus suitable distance, angle, speed, and lighting. A general-purpose high-resolution camera is not automatically an LPR camera.

N3B-4LAViMD · VCASMD is a common industry phrase for smart motion detection. Luminys product records use iMD, or Intelligent Motion Detection, for human and vehicle classification. Elite search accepts either phrase and returns the Luminys models documented with iMD.
No. Analytics vary by model and series. The product page and manufacturer PDF are the controlling sources for a specific camera.
Luminys documents LumiSearch workflows on compatible R5 Mainstream and R6 Extreme NVRs when paired with LumiSearch-enabled cameras. Exact modes and channel limits depend on the recorder datasheet.
No. Luminys describes LumiSearch as privacy-oriented reference-image matching without preregistration or facial recognition. Face recognition uses a configured face library on supported recorder workflows.
