Security Company Lumana Secures $40 Million Investment for Developing AI-Powered Real-Time Surveillance for Security Cameras
Lumana Secures $40 Million in Series A Funding for AI-Powered Video Surveillance Platform
Lumana, an innovative AI-powered video surveillance company, has announced that it has secured $40 million in Series A funding. The funding round was led by Wing Venture Capital, with continued backing from Norwest and S Capital.
Lumana's cloud-based platform is designed to manage over a billion images per day and transform traditional video feeds into intelligent, context-aware systems. These systems can detect behaviors and events in real-time, enhancing physical security and operational efficiency.
The platform's AI agents form an active layer on top of video infrastructure, making decisions without requiring constant human oversight. These agents are specialized for identification, tracking, compliance, and safety enforcement, reducing human intervention and improving operational workflows.
One of the key features of Lumana's platform is its ability to detect various threats such as violence, theft, fire, unauthorized access, safety violations, and more. It also includes predictive alerting capabilities, allowing for early warning of potential incidents.
Lumana's system can integrate external data to generate alerts before an incident escalates. This proactive approach to security is one of the reasons why major institutions such as McDonald's, Meta, New York University, and the Minnesota Twins are using Lumana's platform.
The platform uses vision-language models (VLMs) and agentic AI to enable video feeds to become intelligent participants in security, safety, and operational workflows. Customizable dashboards translate video data into impactful insights, and powerful investigative tools allow searching using more than 100 attributes—significantly more than traditional systems.
With this funding, Lumana aims to continue building its AI-native surveillance platform, making ordinary security cameras smarter and more context-aware. The company's goal is to empower organizations across various sectors, including retail, healthcare, manufacturing, hospitality, and municipalities, to secure their physical environments and boost operational efficiency through insightful video analytics and automated incident response.
- Lumana, with the funds, plans to expand its AI-powered platform into the domain of finance, using artificial-intelligence to create intelligent investment strategies and enhance financial security.
- By integrating advanced technology such as artificial-intelligence and machine learning into their video surveillance platform, Lumana is not only revolutionizing the safety and security sector but also paving the way for new possibilities in investing and data analytics.
