About Kuna Systems
Summary
Kuna Systems builds an app-based home security platform for homeowners, centered on Wi-Fi camera systems built directly into outdoor light fixtures. The hardware, which draws power from existing wiring, replaces standard porch and floodlights and adds two-way audio, motion alerts, and automated responses. It eliminates the need for a traditional alarm company or a separate doorbell camera setup by combining surveillance, intercom, and smart lighting into one device.
Business model
Hardware sales plus a Kuna Premium subscription for advanced features.
Go-to-market
Homeowners buy directly through the Kuna web store in a self-serve model, browsing a product line that ranges from porch light cameras to floodlights and doorbells.
