Lumana vs Genetec & Milestone
Anyone can record the footage.
We understand it.
Genetec and Milestone are proven at recording. But the AI is bolted on — a separate product or a third-party integration. Lumana is one platform where the VMS and the AI are built together, so the system understands what it's seeing and cuts false alerts by up to 90%.
A 30-minute walkthrough on the cameras you already own. No rip and replace.
Key differentiator
Lumana is one platform — a modern VMS and proprietary AI agents built together — so the system doesn't just record video. It understands it.
Our technology
Built together, not bolted on
On established VMS platforms, the AI is a separate product or a third-party integration you license, configure, and maintain on the side. In Lumana, the VMS and VIA-1 are one system — intelligence isn't an add-on.
It understands, not just detects
Built-in analytics tend to start motion- and rule-based. VIA-1 recognizes objects, reads behavior, and flags real anomalies — cutting false alerts by up to 90%, so your team isn't chasing shadows.
Less time watching, more resolved
Because the system surfaces what matters and acts on it, your team stops monitoring feeds and scrubbing footage all day. Search in plain language; let the agents do the watching.
A brain that perceives, reasons, and acts
A brain isn't one feature — it's three faculties working together. Here's what VIA-1 does on any IP camera you already own, from a single site to tens of thousands of cameras.
Perceive
See, with human-like perception
VIA-1 watches every feed in real time — object recognition, behavior analysis, and anomaly detection — and adapts to each camera's environment, getting more accurate the longer it runs.
People, vehicle, and object detection on any IP camera
Continuous situational learning, per camera
Behavior and anomaly detection, not just motion
reason
Understand, and find anything fast
Ask in plain language. VIA-1 reasons across every camera in your organization, turning hours of footage into the exact moment you need — in seconds.

Automated, user-defined responses
When something that matters happens, VIA-1 doesn't just flag it — it acts. Define the response once in plain language, and it runs on its own, every time.
Custom alerts written in natural language
Notifications, audible messages, alarms, GPIO, API, and webhooks
How much of your team's day still goes to watching video and scrubbing footage?
