Rhombus

Rhombus is a cloud-based physical security platform that integrates video surveillance, access control, and environmental monitoring into a single system. The platform is designed for businesses and organizations that need to secure physical spaces, monitor activity in real time, and respond to incidents quickly. Its architecture relies on a cloud-edge hybrid model: edge devices—such as cameras, door sensors, and other IoT hardware—process data locally to reduce latency and continue operating even when the internet connection is lost. All events, recordings, and configurations are synchronized to the cloud, enabling remote management from any web browser or mobile app. The core functionality of Rhombus centers on video security. Cameras capture high-definition footage with built-in storage, eliminating the need for on-site network video recorders. Users can view live streams, search historical recordings by time, motion, or specific object detection (people, vehicles, animals), and set up custom alerts. The platform uses artificial intelligence to analyze video in real time; for example, it can detect unauthorized entry after hours, loitering in restricted areas, or a door left ajar—as shown in the sample event "Manager's office door left ajar RKK6610 Thursday, Aug 22 at 3:45 PM." These actionable insights are delivered as push notifications or email alerts, allowing security personnel to verify and respond without manually reviewing endless footage. Access control is another key component. Rhombus supports smart locks, key card readers, and mobile credential systems. Administrators can define who enters which doors, at what times, and receive reports on all access attempts. The platform also integrates environmental sensors that monitor temperature, humidity, or water
