Transforming Security Investigations: Introducing Rhombus AI Search

Security teams are under constant pressure to resolve incidents quickly, where minutes—or even seconds—can determine whether a situation is contained or escalates. Traditional security solutions often require hours of manually reviewing footage, leaving teams frustrated and incidents unresolved. Today, we're excited to announce our latest AI innovation that's set to revolutionize how organizations conduct security investigations: Rhombus AI Search. 

The Investigation Challenge: Finding Needles in Digital Haystacks 

When security incidents occur, time is of the essence. The average cost of addressing a physical security breach is estimated at $100,000 per incident—not including the additional impacts on safety, employee retention, customer trust, and brand reputation. 

Yet most security teams still rely on limited tools that require them to: 

• Manually scroll through hours of footage 
• Apply basic filters that only scratch the surface 
• Miss critical insights buried within their video data 

The result? Wasted time, overlooked evidence, and security risks that could have been prevented. 

Beyond Pre-Set Filters: A New Era of Security Intelligence with AI Video Search 

Rhombus AI Search represents a fundamental shift in security investigations by leveraging advanced natural language processing to transform how you interact with your security footage. This powerful new capability enables security teams to find exactly what they're looking for in seconds—not hours—using simple, conversational language.  

While traditional security systems limit you to combing footage manually or searching by pre-defined criteria like motion detection or color. AI Search breaks through these limitations by understanding context, behaviors, and situations that matter to your specific security needs. 

How It Works: 

1. Type to search using natural language - Simply describe what you're looking for in plain English 
2. Multi-camera scanning - The system automatically reviews footage across your entire camera network 
3. Contextual understanding - AI recognizes complex scenarios, behaviors, and situations 
4. Curated results in seconds - Instantly receive relevant footage snippets matching your description 
5. Filter capabilities - Narrow results by specific time periods or cameras as desired 

Real-World Applications Across Industries 

The versatility of AI Search makes it invaluable for organizations across different sectors. Here are just a few examples of how diverse industries can benefit: 

Manufacturing: Workplace Productivity & Compliance 

A manufacturing firm checking worker productivity can now type "Employee on cell phone" and search the past month. The system immediately finds potential incidents of cell phone use on the production floor—something that would normally take hours to review manually. 

Retail: Loss Prevention 

A retailer facing theft issues can search: "backpack” or “baseball cap" in high value areas like Electronics to more quickly scan for shoplifters. Within seconds, security teams can review precise matches instead of scanning through hours of footage. 

Healthcare: Patient Care  

A hospital or long-term-care facility needing to locate a missing patient or assess care standards can type: "Man in Wheelchair." This allows for accelerated response times or addressing client concerns with visual evidence. 

Education: Asset Management and Security 

A school administrator investigating a missing delivery can search: "UPS package." The system quickly pinpoints the exact moment of delivery, helping track missing items and verify chain of custody. 

With AI Search, your team now has the power to more quickly zero in on unique events of interest like these with a simple type and search approach.
