Rhombus Security Cameras: An Overview

Having a background with enterprise IT organizations, the founding team of Rhombus noticed how difficult existing enterprise video security systems were and wondered why these systems couldn't be as easy to use as the consumer ones but powerful enough for large companies.

For this reason, Rhombus Systems was born in 2016 with its first product being cloud managed security cameras.

Today, Rhombus does not offer simple cameras but AI-powered security cameras and smart sensors. These IoT devices function seamlessly together giving customers unparalleled insights into their spaces. But it's not only that: Rhombus is an easy-to-integrate platform that can be linked to your already existing security system to get the most out of your products. Kisi already has an integration with Rhombus that you can check out at this link.

Rhombus Security Cameras: Top 5 Models

Unlike other brands, the portfolio of Rhombus focuses on offering all the features that you need in just four camera models rather than having a deep portfolio of similar products. For this reason, we're covering the whole product portfolio of Rhombus.

1. Rhombus R100

The Rhombus R100 is the "entry-level" camera of the Rhombus portfolio in terms of price tag, but make no mistake, the performance of this camera is outstanding. R100 features a 2MP image sensor with a 96-degree field of view. The camera is fully weatherproof, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor installation. Like every camera offered by Rhombus, the R100 has AI technology built into the camera that will monitor all events and send real-time alerts to any device.

2. Rhombus R2

It can be installed both indoors or outdoors, has an outstanding image resolution (up to 5 MP) and up to 180 days of on-camera storage.
