Lumana, the leader in AI video security solutions, today announced that it closed $40 million in Series A funding led by Wing Venture Capital with support from existing investors Norwest and S Capital. This latest round brings the total funding raised to $64 million. The funding will accelerate Lumana's go-to-market activities and fuel continued product innovation across its video intelligence platform, which uses vision language models (VLM) and agentic AI to transform any camera into an intelligent real-time monitoring, detection and response system.

"Lumana isn't just another video security company. We are infusing AI into video in a way that not only transforms how organizations manage physical security, but also enhances safety and operational efficiency – all from a single platform," said Sagi Ben Moshe, Lumana's CEO and founder. "We're building the infrastructure for cameras to perceive, understand context and take action in real-time – from detecting and responding to threats to uncovering safety and operational issues. This investment is a milestone in our mission, enabling us to accelerate growth to meet demand and provide our wide array of customers with physical world AI capabilities that are unmatched in the market today."

From Static Cameras to Context-Aware, Intelligent Tools: Unlocking New Value from Video

Organizations are rapidly shifting from monitoring security camera infrastructure to AI-powered solutions that extract meaningful and proactive insights from existing camera feeds. The global market for AI in video surveillance is expected to more than double to $14.6 billion in the next four years; while use of the technology for video analytics is projected to more than triple, reaching $69 billion by 2028.

As companies grapple with staffing shortages, rising safety concerns and operational complexity, Lumana is helping them unlock more value from their existing infrastructure – turning passive cameras into intelligent, context-aware tools.

"Lumana is at the forefront of the AI video movement, enabling cameras to truly perceive the physical environment and deliver actionable insights in real-time," said Peter Wagner, founding partner at Wing Venture Capital, who will join Lumana's Board of Directors. "The company's powerful platform converts ordinary video security infrastructure into a proactive, continually learning solution that enables users to scale security, safety and operational decision-making with a level of intelligence we've never seen in the industry before. I'm excited to work with Sagi and the team as they shape the future of video security and redefine how people and machines collaborate at scale."

Comprehensive AI Across the Video Security Experience

Lumana's platform integrates AI across the full video workflow and currently runs analytics on over a billion images a day, enabling behavior-based event detection, rapid investigations and operational insight generation. Users can centrally manage thousands of cameras and sites, receiving intelligent alerts and analytics tied to specific behaviors and objects, and search millions of hours of footage in seconds.

Recent feature enhancements include:

• AI agents that function as dedicated assistants for security, identification, tracking, status, safety and compliance, and integration with third-party systems.
• New alerts for various actions, including weapons, fire, falls, violence, protective gear, absence of people and vehicles, and more.
• Customizable dashboards that translate video footage into actionable, impactful insights.
• Investigative tools offering more than 100 search attributes, 10x to 15x more than existing video security systems.
• Event tag, a feature that allows Lumana to integrate with external systems to index footage for future investigations and trigger alerts based on third-party data.

Diverse Customers Benefiting from Lumana

Gautam Bhayana, director of Process Improvement, Extech Building Materials, a building materials supplier with locations across New York and New Jersey
"Our video investigation capabilities have advanced substantially, allowing us to reduce shrinkage and respond quickly to incidents. In one case, we quickly identified a recurring theft issue, shared the evidence with law enforcement and set up alerts to notify us if the individual returned to any of our locations. This combination of speed, accuracy and proactive monitoring has greatly enhanced our ability to prevent losses and strengthen store security."

Matthew Bunning, safety and security specialist, Gateway Community & Technical College in Kentucky
"Lumana has given us a powerful, end-to-end solution that makes it incredibly easy to keep our campus community safe. It's reassuring to know we have an intelligent system continuously watching over our students, faculty and staff, 24 hours a day, seven days a week."

Badal Patel, partner, SpinXpress, a laundromat chain servicing Illinois and Texas
"Managing video security across our stores used to be complicated and fragmented. With over 200 cameras from different manufacturers, having one centralized system has delivered visibility and insights we never had before. With Lumana, we can now track customer traffic and dwell time, optimize staffing and service, while also securing our cash rooms by detecting when safes or sensitive doors are accessed. It's reduced our investigation time from hours to seconds, improved our operational decision-making, and given us the peace of mind that we're protecting both our customers and our business."
