May 2025 Product Updates
May brings another round of powerful updates across Lumana’s AI, VMS+, and mobile app. This month, we’re introducing a suspect alert system, faster playback, bulk camera updates, and a major refresh of the mobile app. Let’s dive in.
AI
- Suspect Alerts — Expanding on our facial recognition capabilities, suspect alerts increase the rate of comparison for people within a scene. When Lumana detects a person with high similarities to someone on your suspect list, even if it’s not an exact match, the system will trigger an alert. This higher-sensitivity mode is ideal for catching lookalikes or people trying to disguise themselves.
VMS+
- Faster Camera Playback — Review footage faster with support for playback speeds up to 10x.
- Additional Camera Investigation Options — Get more context at a glance. Users can now select alerts and door access events in the thumbnail dropdown under camera metadata.
- Bulk Camera Configuration — Save time and simplify deployment by configuring multiple cameras simultaneously with our new bulk update tool.
Mobile
- New Side Menu — Users can now use the side menu for faster navigation to the Camera, Search, Alerts, and Wall pages.
- Search and Filter Cameras — Users can quickly find and filter cameras by typing device name, selecting location, or status.
- Grid View — Easily view all cameras in a grid view, exactly like the Lumana web app.
- Additional Camera Thumbnail Options — View alerts and door access Events directly on the camera page.
- Object and Clip Toggle — Users can tailor how to view Search and Alert results by adjusting the object and clip toggle at the top of their respective pages.
