With support from Wing, Norwest and S Capital, Lumana transforms passive security cameras into intelligent systems that can see, understand and act in real-time
LOS GATOS, Calif., July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — 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.
