April 2026 Product Updates
This month, Lumana is raising the bar for platform security, giving you stronger controls to protect your cameras, your system, and your team's access. We're also making it faster to navigate the platform and easier to monitor system health at a glance.
VMS+
- One-Click Camera Password Randomization — Instantly generate a unique, secure password for every camera connected to Lumana with a single click. Eliminate shared or default credentials and strengthen your network security in seconds.
- Hidden Camera Passwords — Camera passwords are no longer displayed at the camera level, reducing the risk of accidental exposure during screen sharing, walkthroughs, or shoulder-surfing scenarios.
- Enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) — Admins can now require MFA across all users in the organization, adding an essential layer of protection to every account.
- Fast Path Navigation (Ctrl+K on Windows or Cmd+K on Mac) — Instantly navigate Lumana without touching your mouse. Open categories, access features, and jump anywhere using a powerful command palette with free-text search.
Optimization
- Uptime History Charts — New visual charts show each camera's online and offline history over time, giving you clear visibility into device reliability and helping you identify issues before they become blind spots.
- Hanwha Camera Support — Lumana now supports adding Hanwha camera APIs with automatic camera discovery, making it faster and simpler to onboard Hanwha devices into your environment.

February 2026 Product Updates
February brings another strong round of updates to Lumana — including deepening our AI capabilities, expanding what’s possible from the mobile app, and introducing new tools for smarter investigations.
AI
- Custom States — Detect and monitor the state of objects in your environment and receive alerts when conditions change or persist beyond a set threshold. For example, get notified when a door has been left open for longer than a specified period, or search for specific door transitions, making it easier to enforce access policies and respond to anomalies.
VMS+
- Push to Talk on Mobile — Communicate directly through the mobile app with a single tap, making it easier to deter or resolve events in real time from anywhere.
- Multi-Parameter Search on Mobile — Layer multiple search parameters and attributes from the mobile app to conduct the same powerful video investigation capabilities as the web app.
- Suspicious Person Report — Quickly build a report to understand when and how often suspicious people have appeared across sites, helping identify patterns before they escalate.
- Alarm Monitoring Activity Review — Get full visibility into the alarm monitoring workflow, including verification requests, status updates, responses, and linked alerts.
- Hikvision Speaker Support — Natively add Hikvision speakers to Lumana to play audio patterns and sounds when an alert is triggered, enabling faster on-site response without additional integrations.
