Rhombus unveils AI solution for physical security

Rhombus has announced the launch of Rhombus AI Search, a solution that uses natural language processing to provide physical security teams with a way to scan and analyze security camera footage with custom text prompts, significantly reducing incident investigation time from hours to seconds.

“Security investigations are often a race against time, but security teams must manually review hours of footage across multiple cameras to find what they need,” said Brandon Salzberg, Chief Technology Officer, Rhombus.

“With Rhombus AI Search, we’ve fundamentally reimagined this process.

“Teams can now simply type what they’re looking for – a red van in a specific area, or a person in a blue shirt carrying a package – and get back comprehensive and curated results within seconds.

“Our AI technology extends search capabilities far beyond preset criteria, allowing organizations to search for virtually anything they can think of.

“Tell us what to find and we’ll find it, in seconds.”

AI-powered detection

Technical capabilities of Rhombus AI Search include:

• Type-to-search: Users can describe exactly what they are looking for in natural language, eliminating the constraints of traditional fixed search filters
• Multi-camera analysis: The system automatically reviews footage across multiple cameras simultaneously, providing comprehensive results
• Near-instant results: Search results are curated within seconds, substantially reducing investigation time
• Contextual understanding: Advanced AI comprehends complex scenarios and situational context beyond simple object recognition
• Similarity search: Keying off of one image, a user can search for images that look similar

“Rhombus AI Search leverages modern breakthroughs around large language models to enable organizations to react to incidents or other anomalies with ease and simplicity,” said Andrew Gallatin, Director of R&D, Rhombus.

“Backed by natural language processing, teams can find what they need without navigating complex menus or being constrained by search limitations, but at the same time feel confident that employee privacy will be respected through advanced moderation techniques.”

Physical security

Rhombus highlights that the solution delivers several physical security benefits for organizations across industries.

Security teams get faster incident resolution capabilities, quickly locating critical footage without spending hours manually reviewing video.

Improved compliance also becomes easier as organizations can swiftly find events that provide necessary visual evidence for documentation requirements.

Rhombus AI Search also drives significant operational efficiencies, with security personnel regaining valuable time by letting advanced AI handle the heavy lifting of video analysis.
