We are thrilled to announce that Lumana has won the Video Surveillance Management Systems category at the 2026 Security Industry Association (SIA) New Products and Solutions (NPS) Awards, presented at ISC West in Las Vegas on March 25, 2026.
The SIA NPS Awards — the security industry's premier product recognition program since 1979 — evaluated entries from more than 71 companies across 23 categories, with 38 judges drawn from across the industry lending their expertise to identify the most impactful innovations of the year. Being recognized in this company is a profound honor and a testament to the hard work of every member of the Lumana team.
This award recognizes Lumana's AI Video Security Platform — a hybrid cloud solution that transforms any existing IP camera into an intelligent, continuously learning AI agent capable of perceiving context, reasoning in real time, and taking automated action to keep people, property, and operations safer.
Redefining the Modern VMS
Lumana's video security platform goes beyond traditional recording, transforming standard IP cameras into proactive AI-powered monitoring agents. Through an innovative end-to-end solution, Lumana integrates advanced artificial intelligence, modern video management software, and enterprise-grade hardware into a single, seamless experience.
At the heart of the platform is a proprietary, continuously learning video intelligence model that adapts to the specific nuances of any environment. This enables the system to detect complex behaviors—such as tailgating, fall detection, or a brandished weapon—with near-human perception, rather than relying on simple object recognition. Operating on a hybrid-cloud architecture, the Lumana Core replaces legacy NVRs, providing the high-speed local processing required for real-time alerts without the bandwidth bottlenecks of pure-cloud systems.
Driving Operational Excellence
By combining the best of video security and AI, Lumana delivers a comprehensive solution that offers:
- 10X Staff Efficiency: Automated monitoring allows security teams to focus only on verified events.
- 90% Fewer False Alerts: Advanced behavior detection filters out environmental noise and irrelevant movement.
- Natural Language Search: Smart video search technology that allows users to scrub millions of hours of footage in seconds using simple text queries.
- Actionable Insights: AI-driven dashboards that convert raw video data into strategic operational intelligence.
"This win validates our vision of unlocking the value of an organization's video data, delivering actionable, real-time intelligence at scale and agentic AI across the entire video security workflow," said Jordan Shou, VP of Marketing at Lumana. "Legacy systems have long placed an unsustainable burden on security professionals. At Lumana, we've built a solution that doesn't just manage video—it understands it. This recognition affirms our commitment to giving organizations the tools to identify and respond to important events the moment they happen."
Industry Validation
“This year’s SIA NPS program has once again showcased the remarkable pace of innovation in our industry,” said Christine Bergeron, chair of the SIA NPS Awards Committee. “Our expert judges were impressed by the caliber of entries, and we thank them for lending their expertise to contribute to a successful 2026 program.”
“Earning recognition in the NPS Awards is an impressive accomplishment in such a competitive landscape,” added Elisa Mula, vice chair of the SIA NPS Awards Committee.
“SIA congratulates the winners of the 2026 SIA NPS Awards,” said SIA CEO Don Erickson. “The products presented this year represent the cutting edge of the market, and our judges’ thorough consideration ensures this remains the most trusted awards program for launching new security technology solutions.”
Since its inception in 1979, the SIA NPS program has been the security industry’s premier product awards program. New products are reviewed by a panel of judges with extensive industry experience, ensuring that award-winning technologies represent the highest standard of innovation and reliability.
What This Recognition Means
The physical security industry is undergoing a fundamental shift — away from passive recording and reactive monitoring, toward proactive, real-time intelligence. Lumana was built from the ground up to lead that transition. Our proprietary AI model, VIA-1, runs analytics on billions of images per day, enabling behavior-based event detection, automated workflows, rapid investigations, and deep operational insight — all from a single platform that works with cameras organizations already own.
Winning in the Video Surveillance Management Systems category at ISC West — the industry’s largest annual stage — signals to the market that agentic AI is no longer a future concept. It is here, it is enterprise-ready, and Lumana is leading it.
What’s Next
This recognition energizes us to keep pushing further. We will continue expanding VIA-1’s intelligence, deepening integrations across the broader security ecosystem, and building toward our vision of a world where every camera is a proactive, context-aware agent — protecting people and powering smarter decisions at every level of an organization.
If you were at ISC West and stopped by our booth, thank you. If you missed us and want to see the award-winning platform in action, we would love to show you what Lumana can do.
