Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • February 2026 Carahsoft expanded Lumana into SEWP V, NASPO, and other government contracts.
  • June 2026 product updates added alert clearing, device-health visibility, and tighter authentication controls.
  • December 2025 customer momentum from Meta, McDonald’s, and NYU strengthens enterprise credibility.

What critics are saying

  • Verkada, Genetec, and Eagle Eye Networks compress Lumana’s pricing and feature differentiation.
  • February 2026 Carahsoft access creates channel dependence and procurement-cycle risk in public sector sales.
  • Camera OEMs and hyperscalers can bundle video AI, eroding margins and blocking standalone VMS adoption.

What makes Lumana unique

  • Lumana turns existing IP cameras into AI sensors without rip-and-replace deployments.
  • Its hybrid-cloud VMS blends edge storage, cloud backup, and real-time analytics.
  • December 2025: Lumana crossed 50,000 cameras, showing early scale across enterprise and public sectors.

These upgrades, designed to streamline the operator's workload, will be on display at GSX 2026, held from September 14 to 16 in Atlanta, at booth #4459. Introducing Dinesh Coca. With over two decades of experience in technology product development and leadership, Dinesh Coca joins HiveWatch to spearhead these initiatives. His prior engagements included significant roles at Medallia, BigPanda, and Motive, each contributing to his extensive expertise in software scaling and customer-centric product building. "HiveWatch stood out because the problem is so clear," Coca stated, emphasizing the potential for streamlining incident response processes across various systems. AI operator communicate: Managing call volumes. A key highlight of HiveWatch's latest capabilities is the AI Operator Communicate, which addresses a prevalent issue in security operations centers: the high volume of non-emergency calls. This innovative solution delegates the handling and routing of calls, allowing human operators to concentrate on critical incidents. Ryan Schonfeld, Co-Founder & CEO of HiveWatch, noted, "The operator is still at the center of the experience. We're using AI to clear away the boring, repetitive work around them." Enhancements to operator efficiency. The AI system processes calls based on organisational SOPs and supports over 40 languagesThe AI system can process calls according to the organisation's protocols and standard operating procedures (SOPs), supporting over 40 languages. If an incoming call is an emergency, it will escalate to a human operator; if not, the system will document and reroute it accordingly. The system also creates a comprehensive transcript and audit trail for each interaction. This new calling feature is currently under beta testing with a leading U.S. telecom company, efficiently managing over 1000 monthly inbound calls. Other significant updates and integrations. HiveWatch continues to enhance the operator experience with new features such as program recommendations that track improvements in security programs, configurable workflows for dynamic incident response guidance, and email alert ingestion capabilities. These updates collectively aim to simplify operator tasks and improve security management. Expanding the security ecosystem with new partnerships. HiveWatch is expanding its integrations through key partnerships with Acre Security, Arcules Video Surveillance-as-a-Service (VSaaS) from Milestone Systems, and Lumana. These collaborations allow seamless access to security events and video analytics, enabling a cohesive management experience for operators handling diverse security data. To discover more about these enhancements, visit HiveWatch at GSX 2026, booth #4459, from September 14 to 16.
