Zaylix vs Lumana
If you're evaluating Lumana for AI video security, here's a factual comparison to help you decide what fits your situation. We're not going to pretend to be a bigger or more established company than we are, Zaylix is early-stage; Lumana is a funded, more established platform.
Lumana
Lumana is an AI video security platform built around its own hardware ecosystem (cameras, on-prem appliances like Core and VIA-1) alongside cloud AI agents for monitoring, response, investigation and insight. It's positioned for mid-size to enterprise deployments and sells both hardware and software.
Zaylix
Zaylix is a software-only AI layer that runs on the CCTV and NVR infrastructure you already have. We don't sell cameras or appliances. We're an early-stage company: our detection models are tested and working, but we don't yet have a completed, independently-owned live client deployment, which we tell every prospect upfront.
| Point | Lumana | Zaylix |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware | Sells its own camera and appliance hardware as part of the platform. | Runs on cameras and NVRs you already own. No hardware purchase required. |
| Company stage | Established, funded platform with existing enterprise deployments. | Early-stage. Tested detection models and POC footage, no completed live deployment yet, disclosed honestly. |
| Biometrics | Not something we've independently verified; check their current documentation. | Biometric-free by design, no facial recognition, built this way from the start. |
| Before you buy | Standard demo and sales process. | Written feasibility review first: what will and won't work on your specific cameras, before any commitment. |
Who each is a better fit for
If you want an established, funded vendor with its own hardware ecosystem and a longer track record, Lumana is worth evaluating directly. If you want to add AI detection to cameras you already have, without buying new cameras, and you're comfortable working with an early-stage team that's upfront about where it is, Zaylix may be a fit.
