Lumana, founded in 2021 and headquartered in Los Gatos, California, develops an AI-powered video surveillance platform for the physical security industry. Its hybrid edge-cloud system combines video security hardware with cloud software and AI analytics to turn ordinary security cameras into intelligent sensors for real-time monitoring, threat detection and operational insight. The company operates additional offices in California and Israel.
Technical work spans computer vision, video analytics, edge-cloud architecture, real-time threat detection, video intelligence machine learning models and AI hardware. Two products anchor the stack: the Lumana AI Video Surveillance Platform, with more than 50,000 cameras deployed, and the proprietary VIA-1 video intelligence model, described as the world's first that enables any camera to learn from its own video data.
Reported outcomes include an 85% improvement in incident response times and a 70% reduction in manual monitoring. The platform serves customers across enterprise, retail, healthcare, education, government, manufacturing, warehouse and hospitality sectors.
Lumana has raised $64m in total funding, including a $40m Series A described as the largest Series A in the physical security sector. The company frames its mission as shifting video security from reactive monitoring toward proactive real-time AI intelligence.
