Common Questions About Rhombus Access Control

How does Rhombus differ from traditional access control systems?

Traditional systems operate in isolation, requiring separate management interfaces, dedicated servers, and specialized knowledge. Rhombus unifies access control with video surveillance on a cloud-based platform, eliminating hardware servers, simplifying management, and providing visual verification of all access events.

Can Rhombus work with our existing door hardware?

Yes. Rhombus is designed to work with standard door hardware including electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, and request-to-exit devices. This compatibility allows for cost-effective implementation without replacing your existing door infrastructure.

How secure is cloud-based access control?

Rhombus employs enterprise-grade security measures including end-to-end encryption, two-factor authentication, and SOC 2 Type II certified data centers. The system actually improves security by eliminating vulnerable on-premises servers and providing automatic security updates.

What happens if our internet connection goes down?

Rhombus is designed for reliability. The door controllers maintain a local database of access credentials and continue functioning during internet outages. Once connectivity is restored, all events automatically sync to the cloud.
