Rhombus launches Relay

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Rhombus has announced the launch of Rhombus Relay, a new suite of solutions that enable organizations to transform existing camera infrastructure into intelligent, cloud-connected devices.

Rhombus Relay establishes a bridge between legacy systems and modern cloud-based physical security, allowing businesses to innovate on their own terms according to the company.

“Adopting new technology for security should be effortless, without compromising safety,” said Garrett Larsson, CEO and co-founder of Rhombus. “That has been Rhombus’ guiding principle since we launched nearly a decade ago, and it is core to why we developed Relay. Our new solution instantly removes the barriers that force organizations to choose between their existing camera investments and modern cloud capabilities. Today’s launch represents a significant milestone in our mission to make the advantages of cloud-managed physical security accessible to all organizations, regardless of where they are in their security technology journey.”

Rhombus Relay offers two paths for migrating existing cameras to Rhombus’ unified platform:

1. Relay Core N100 is a plug-and-play, on-premise device supporting up to ten third-party cameras with no added licensing cost for video streaming. The solution transforms existing cameras into smart cameras with AI analytics. Rhombus has also announced that Relay Core N500, supporting up to 50 cameras, will also be available soon.
2. Relay Lite is a zero-cost alternative that allows organizations to connect—and begin cloud managing—one legacy third-party camera for every Rhombus camera they already operate.

“Technology should just work,” said Brandon Salzberg, Vice President of Engineering at Rhombus. “With Relay, we’re simplifying legacy technology in a way that it never has before, while at the same time providing a flexible pathway for organizations to modernize their physical security technology stack at their own pace.”
