There when you cannot be everywhere. lumen guards safety and observes each child with the depth and care of a seasoned educator — then shares what it notices, gently.
Some of the most important moments in a child’s day happen when no adult is watching. lumen is there — quietly noticing, and gently returning those moments to you.
A small device sits in the corner of the classroom. It watches throughout the day — quietly, continuously, without drawing attention to itself. It does not stream video to parents. It does not record for liability. It observes for one purpose: to surface what a teacher might have missed.
Everything lumen sees is processed on the device itself. No cloud. No uploads. No footage leaving the centre. The on-device analysis identifies patterns of behaviour — how a child moves, how they interact, how they use language, how they handle frustration or excitement.
When something needs immediate attention — a child in an unsafe position, a sleeping infant who has rolled over, a toddler climbing where they should not be — lumen sends a quiet notification to the room leader’s device. No alarm. No siren. Just a nudge that says: worth checking.
Every evening, lumen compiles a quiet summary of what it noticed. Moments of growth. Patterns worth tracking. Children who might need a closer look tomorrow. These summaries sync to the Kidix app, where teachers can review, add their own notes, and build a continuous developmental record for every child.
A classroom observation system designed as a complete hardware ecosystem — from the lens in the room to the insight on your wrist.
Designed to disappear into the room. No glowing LEDs, no audible cues — so children act naturally, not for the camera. The lens exists to observe, not to record for storage or liability. Video never leaves the room.
The AI engine that runs on the processing terminal. It analyses behaviour in real time — identifying safety risks and recognising developmental patterns. It offers recommendations, but the teacher decides what matters. lumen Edge is built to support judgement, not replace it.
All video analysis happens here — on-site, never in the cloud. Each centre chooses where footage is stored: locally on the device, or on the centre’s own server. No raw data is ever uploaded to lumen or any third-party cloud. Only text-based insights leave the terminal.
Insights arrive quietly on the centre’s iPad — and, in the near future, on a wearable display on your wrist. No sirens. No disruption. A gentle nudge at the right moment, then you decide what to do next.
Observation summaries sync to the Kidix app server to become part of each child’s developmental journey. Teachers review, annotate, and decide what to document — the teacher is the author of every entry. Every sync requires authorisation. Nothing moves without it.
lumen uses a lens — but it is built to understand, not to surveil. What matters is what it is built to do, and what it is built not to do.
It uses a lens — but not to record for liability, monitor entry points, or flag compliance breaches. lumen is built to notice children’s development, not to police a centre.
The camera feed is not accessible to parents. lumen is designed for one audience only: the educator in the room. No back-channel of parental surveillance is built, or will ever be built, into the product.
lumen observes and lumen Edge analyses — and yes, it offers recommendations. But a recommendation is not a decision. The teacher reads, reflects, and decides. The expertise of an educator is what makes the observation meaningful, and that expertise cannot be automated.
It does not track discipline or compliance. It does not produce anything that could be used punitively against a child or a staff member. lumen is built to support growth, not to enforce rules.
Children's privacy is not a feature — it is the foundation. This is not a privacy policy layered on top of the product; it is a technical decision built into the hardware and software from day one.
lumen lets each centre choose where footage lives: saved locally on the device, or to the centre's own server. Either way, no raw video or data is ever uploaded to lumen, and nothing goes to any third-party cloud.
lumen is currently in active development. We are building it with educators, not just for them — and that is exactly why your voice matters now.
