Overview

A Gateway serves 2 purposes :

Performs the actual analytic processing either on Edge (on-premise) devices or servers, or on GPU servers in the cloud.
Allows secure access to on-site cameras for configuration and cloud streaming, without opening up ports outside the firewall.

Gateways run Lumeo software on them, and communicate securely to Lumeo's cloud services for command-and-control via the Console or API. Lumeo supports local devices such as Jetson family (NX, AGX, etc.) , and on-prem or cloud based x86 servers with Nvidia GPUs as Gateways.

Lumeo also provides managed Cloud gateways you can use to process video in the Lumeo cloud, without having to setup your own. To provision a Lumeo Cloud gateway on your account, please contact support.

OS Requirements

Lumeo supports the following OS configurations for Gateways:

CPU Type	OS Supported	Hardware Specifications	Comments
x86/AMD	Ubuntu 22.04LTS Ubuntu 24.04LTS	x86 Desktop or x86 Server with Nvidia DGPUs	NOTE: Nvidia does not support RTX5000 series cards yet.
Jetson	JP5.X JP6.2 (Coming Soon)	Orin NX, Nano (8gb min) Orin AGX Orin Nano Super (Coming Soon)	Xavier NX, AGX are limited to JP5.X Orin devices will be able to support either

Hardware Requirements

The table below outlines various supported hardware and deployment options for Lumeo gateways.

Deployment Mode	Hardware	Hardware Specifications	Benefits	Limitations
On-prem	See Gateway Hardware for a list of supported Gateway hardware devices.	Jetson Xavier, Jetson Orin, x86 Server with Nvidia DGPUs	Wide range of hardware options at various price points.	Requires access to manage and maintain
Lumeo Cloud	Lumeo managed GPU-based Cloud instances	x86 Server with one or more Nvidia DGPUs	Best suited for processing camera streams or files accessible via the web (i.e., not behind a on-prem firewall) Ideal if you have enough bandwidth on site and do not want to deploy on-prem hardware No need to manage hardware or cloud computing instances	More expensive vs running on On-prem devices (over a longer period of time) Cannot access Cameras or content behind on-prem firewalls
Your Cloud	GPU-based Cloud instances	x86 Server with one or more Nvidia DGPUs	Ideal if you have enough bandwidth on site, do not want to deploy on-prem hardware, and have technical expertise to manage your own cloud instances	More expensive vs running on On-prem devices (over a longer period of time) Cannot access Cameras or content behind on-prem firewalls

The table below outlines video sources & VMS integrations supported by the various deployment modes of a Lumeo Gateway.

Deployment Mode	Supported Video Sources	VMS Integrations	Limitations
On-prem	Cloud-accessible Cameras, Cloud-accessible Recordings, On-prem Cameras & NVRs, On-prem Recordings	Cloud VMS, On-prem VMS
Lumeo Cloud	Cloud-accessible Cameras, Cloud-accessible Recordings	Cloud VMS	Cannot access Cameras or content behind on-prem firewalls without a dedicated VPN setup
Your Cloud	Cloud-accessible Cameras, Cloud-accessible Recordings	Cloud VMS	Cannot access Cameras or content behind on-prem firewalls without a dedicated VPN setup

Setting Up a Gateway

Setup a new Gateway using the instructions below depending on your gateway type.

Gateway type	Instructions	Notes
Lumeo-ready AI Gateway Appliance	Lumeo-Ready Gateways	Use local web interface on the Gateway
Hanwha Vision PNM-C32084RQZ Embedded AI Gateway	PNM-C32084RQZ Setup	Use local web interface on the Gateway
Lumeo Cloud Gateway	Lumeo Cloud Gateways	Use Lumeo cloud console
Bring-your-own Device (bare metal)	Lumeo Gateway Installer	Use the gateway installer script
AWS - EC2 Instance	AWS - EC2 Instance	Prefer ECS to single instance.
AWS - Elastic Container Service	AWS - ECS
GCP - Kubernetes	GCP - Kubernetes
GCP - Compute Instance	GCP - Compute Instance	Prefer Kubernetes to single instance.

You need to ensure the Gateway is able to talk to Lumeo’s cloud services. More info in Security & Network section.

Gateway Information

Once setup, return to the Console to see it show up in the Gateways list. The Gateway detail view also shows you the Camera linked to the gateway, Pipeline deployments running on it, status Events, Hardware information.

Gateway Settings

For each Gateway, you can set the maximum number of Pipeline deployments you can run on it under Settings. This defaults to 10 for every new gateway, but you can adjust it depending on your gateway's hardware capacity.

Update Gateways

Once installed, Lumeo will always keep itself up to date on the Gateways, by downloading and installing any updates we publish, with the exception of Gateways installed in your own Kubernetes or ECS clusters.

Gateways can also be manually updated using the same initial setup mechanism you used initially.

Labels

Gateways can be tagged with Labels.

Labels are hierarchical and selecting a particular label will filter the list of Gateways to those tagged with that Label or it's descendants.
