Rhombus Developers

🎥 Embed live Rhombus camera streams in your React app. One component. One line of code. We just published @rhombussystems/react on NPM — an official React SDK that handles MPEG-DASH streaming, federated session tokens, and secure media delivery so you don't have to. That's a live camera feed. In your app. With zero API keys in the browser. 🔐 Here's what you're getting: ⚡ TypeScript-first with full type definitions 🔄 Two deployment modes — direct streaming or full backend proxy 🎟️ Pre-minted token support for flexible auth flows 📦 14 KB, tree-shakeable, MIT licensed The use cases are wide open 👇 🖥️ Custom security dashboards 🏢 Lobby and visitor kiosks 🔍 Incident investigation tools 🤝 White-label partner portals If you're building on React and need live video — this is your starting point. 👉 npm install @rhombussystems/react Full announcement with architecture breakdowns, code examples, and backend setup guides in the Rhombus Developer Community ⬇️ 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gjH_auaG Drop a comment if you're building something with it — we want to see what you create! 💬 #PhysicalSecurity #React #DeveloperTools #OpenSource #TypeScript #SDK #SecurityTech #Rhombus #DevEx #BuildInPublic

Your entire Rhombus deployment. One terminal command away. We just shipped the Rhombus CLI — an open-source, native command-line tool that gives developers, partners, and customers direct terminal access to cameras, access control, doors, alerts, sensors, and 60+ API resource categories across the Rhombus platform. No UI. No boilerplate. Just results. What you can do right now: → Query every camera, door, and sensor across your deployment in seconds → Stream policy alerts in real time via WebSocket → Watch live or historical footage without logging into the Console → Stitch multi-camera video into a single timestamped grid layout → Download alert clips and thumbnails with one command → Activate lockdown plans and grant access from your terminal → Extract motion-detected frames and feed them into your own ML pipelines → Generate full deployment context snapshots for audits, docs, or AI workflows Install it in 30 seconds with Homebrew, PowerShell, or from source. Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Here's where it gets really powerful: the Rhombus CLI was built with AI-native workflows in mind. Every command outputs structured JSON. Pair it with Claude Code and you can describe what you want to build — custom dashboards, automated incident reports, bulk policy updates across hundreds of cameras, integration scripts, security audits — and watch it get built in minutes instead of hours. The CLI gives Claude Code the tools. Claude Code gives you the speed. That's a genuine 10x for anyone building on Rhombus. Open source. MIT licensed. Ready to go. ⭐ Star the repo: https://lnkd.in/g4A3NYVS Full announcement with code examples, install instructions, and AI workflow breakdowns in the Rhombus Developer Community → https://lnkd.in/gqfguJSz #PhysicalSecurity #DeveloperTools #CLI #OpenSource #SecurityTech #AI #ClaudeCode #Rhombus #DevEx #BuildInPublic

We built a bridge. Not a workaround. Rhombus doesn't support RTSP — and we stand behind that decision. RTSP is unencrypted, exposes credentials in plain text, and is fundamentally incompatible with a serious cybersecurity posture in physical security environments. But the ecosystem still runs on RTSP. NVRs, VMS platforms, AI analytics pipelines, home automation stacks — they all speak it natively. That gap is real, and it creates friction for developers and integrators building on the Rhombus platform. So we built something about it. Introducing EdgeCaster — an open-source Raspberry Pi project that ingests a Rhombus Secure Raw Stream (encrypted H.264 over HTTPS) and re-publishes it as a local RTSP stream on your LAN. The secure leg stays secure. The downstream compatibility problem gets solved. Use it to integrate Rhombus cameras with Frigate, Blue Iris, Milestone, Home Assistant, custom AI pipelines, or any RTSP-native system — without compromising the upstream security model. 🔧 It's open source. Pull it, fork it, improve it. 📂 GitHub: https://lnkd.in/gR5HbppK 🎬 Full install + walkthrough video: https://lnkd.in/gQ-fnnJz 💬 Join the discussion, leave a comment, and connect with the community: https://lnkd.in/g8-thvGS This is what an open developer platform looks like in practice.

Hey Developers — will you be at ISC West this year? The Rhombus team will be there in full force, and we’d love to connect. If you're building vibe-coding projects, AI-driven applications, new integrations, or entirely new software ideas, come talk with us about how real-world security data can power what you're creating. From cloud cameras and sensors to access control and real-time event data, there are endless ways to bring the physical world into your applications. Whether you're experimenting with AI, automation, or building the next generation of security platforms, stop by our booth and show us what you're building. Let’s talk APIs, ideas, and innovation. See you at ISC West in Las Vegas. #ISCWest #ISCWest2026 #SecurityIndustry #PhysicalSecurity #SecurityTech #VideoSurveillance #AccessControl #AI #EdgeAI #ComputerVision #IoT #CloudSecurity #SecurityInnovation #SecurityDevelopers #DevCommunity #Developers #APIs #VibeCoding #Rhombus #RhombusSystems

New Feature Drop for Rhombus: Nearby Cameras Panel We’re excited to introduce the new Nearby Cameras panel — making it easier than ever to monitor and investigate across cameras in real time! With this update, you can now: - Quickly add or search nearby cameras in a new panel - Rearrange and preserve layouts for saved clips - Swap cameras on the fly for faster investigations - Add or jump-to cameras directly from the map - Track objects using directional arrows based on each camera’s position And of course, you can still search, jump-to, or navigate cameras in the upper right — just faster and smoother than ever. This is a big step toward simplifying multi-camera monitoring and giving teams the context they need in seconds. Check out the video below to see the Nearby Cameras panel in action!

Excited to share another stellar integration build by an epic partner! #Ecosystem #API #Integration #LiveDemo

🚀 The Hidden Magic of Rhombus isn’t JUST the Console—it’s in the API. Trevor Bernhard just dropped a great post in our Developer Community showing how developers unlock pre-release features, hidden camera configs, and advanced rules automations before they ever hit the UI. If you’re building on Rhombus, this is a must-read 👇 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gXM_AukQ Join the conversation and see what’s possible. #APIFirst #DeveloperCommunity #RhombusSystems #SmartSecurity #IoTInnovation #HiddenFeatures #RulesEngine #EdgeAI #DevOps #Integrations #BuildOnRhombus
