The short answer

Rhombus is a camera ecosystem. Lumana is AI for the cameras you own.

Rhombus sells cloud-managed cameras and connects third-party cameras through an additional appliance. Lumana is camera-agnostic by design, with AI running on Lumana Core GPUs and a VMS built for large, multi-site estates.

CHOOSE RHOMBUS IF

You are buying new cameras anyway and want a single vendor for cameras, sensors and access control.

CHOOSE LUMANA IF

You want to keep your cameras, need behavior-based AI at enterprise scale, and want room to change hardware later.

Does Lumana need its own cameras?

No. Lumana works with your existing IP cameras through Lumana Core.

Is the AI limited by the camera?

No. Lumana runs AI on GPUs in Lumana Core, so older or lower-cost cameras still get full AI capabilities.
