With this addition to its growing portfolio of AI-driven products, Rhombus continues to provide smarter and faster solutions to help security teams address critical events efficiently and effectively.
1. Features of Rhombus AI Search
Type-to-Search: Natural Language Queries
Rhombus AI Search enables security teams to type descriptions of what they are looking for in plain language, eliminating the need for rigid search filters. Whether it’s a specific object, person, or activity, users can describe it exactly as they see it and the system will deliver precise results.
- Example: Searching for “a red van in front of the building” or “a person in a blue shirt carrying a package.”
Multi-Camera Analysis
The system automatically analyzes footage from multiple cameras simultaneously, offering a comprehensive view of events from different angles without the need for manual intervention.
Near-Instant Results
Search results are curated in seconds, enabling rapid response times and significantly cutting down investigation durations.
Contextual Understanding
Rhombus AI Search doesn’t just recognize simple objects; it also comprehends the broader context of events. This allows the system to search for more complex scenarios, such as identifying a suspicious activity or unusual behavior beyond object recognition.
Similarity Search
Using a single image, users can find similar footage across cameras or time periods, enhancing search precision.
2. Benefits of Rhombus AI Search
Faster Incident Resolution
Security teams no longer need to manually sift through hours of footage. With Rhombus AI Search, crucial footage is retrieved almost instantaneously, allowing for faster decision-making during critical situations.
Improved Compliance
Organizations can quickly find specific events in video footage, which is essential for maintaining compliance and providing visual evidence for documentation or regulatory requirements.
Operational Efficiency
Security personnel can regain valuable time by offloading the time-consuming task of video analysis to Rhombus’ AI-powered system. This leads to significant operational savings and enhances team productivity.
Enhanced Safety Outcomes
In high-pressure scenarios, faster investigations can prevent incidents from escalating. Quick identification of events ensures a more proactive approach to security and safety management.
