Rhombus Video Security review
AI video search, recognition, and alerts for teams managing hybrid camera systems.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Rhombus Video Security is a cloud-managed surveillance platform for organizations monitoring and investigating activity across camera systems. It provides live streaming, playback, video walls, searchable activity and event indexing, and custom alerts for motion, people, vehicles, and other events. Teams can manage cameras through web, iOS, Android, and API access, with cloud and self-hosted deployment options. The platform fits small, mid-market, and enterprise organizations using Rhombus cameras or compatible third-party RTSP cameras.
Its standout capability is searchable video intelligence. Natural-language video search, facial recognition, license plate recognition, occupancy counting, and line-crossing notifications help teams locate events and automate monitoring. Custom alerts can target people, vehicles, motion, and other events, while indexed activity supports retrospective investigations. Local camera storage provides on-site recording, with optional cloud archiving for organizations that need centralized access to selected footage. Video walls add a consolidated view for multi-camera operations.
The published Professional camera license is $149 USD per camera with annual billing, and an ongoing license is required for Rhombus cameras. That license does not include AI features or cloud archiving, so organizations prioritizing those capabilities should account for an additional tier or entitlement. Listed integrations include Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Okta, and Genea; third-party RTSP ingestion runs through Relay Core, using ONVIF when supported. Email, phone, and ticket support are available, with 24/7 support, and the platform lists SOC 2 and SSO/SAML capabilities. Choose Rhombus for AI-led search and event workflows across hybrid camera deployments; consider an alternative if per-camera licensing or the required Relay Core path does not fit your architecture.
