Taking unified security to a new level: Inner Range Inception and Rhombus Integration

A comprehensive cloud-managed access control and video surveillance solution

At Inner Range, we’ve always been committed to providing our customers with flexible, robust, and future-proof security solutions. With over 35 years of experience and more than 150,000 systems deployed globally, we understand the evolving needs of modern security professionals. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our powerful two-way integration with Rhombus, a leading provider of cloud-managed physical security.

This integration brings together the best of both worlds: the flexibility and reliability of our Inception access control system with the intelligent, cloud-based video security capabilities of Rhombus. For our end users, this means a unified security experience that simplifies operations, enhances security, and provides quicker incident resolution and better scalability.

Unified control with ease

With so many systems comprising the security ecosystem for any one business, managing them effectively is a challenge. Inception, our award-winning access control and integrated security system, now seamlessly communicates with Rhombus’s intelligent video platform. This partnership eliminates silos and provides a single view for managing your access control and video security.

The benefits of the partnership

• Remote door unlock from any device: Manage your doors from anywhere, anytime, from any device. The Rhombus console allows you to remotely unlock doors, providing instant convenience and control.
• Enhanced tracking: Track and manage all door open events, with timestamps and alerts if a door has been left ajar.
• Better badge monitoring: Receive alerts based on badge usage – if the user of the badge doesn’t match the actual badge holder.
• Visually verified entry/exit events: Instantly confirm access events with linked video footage in real time. In addition, gain access to historic events for audit trail purposes.
• Two-way sync for seamless communication: Core access control events from Inception are automatically synced with Rhombus, and actions taken in Rhombus are reflected in Inception.

Simplified systems, enhanced security

Imagine being able to visually verify every access event, remotely manage doors, and receive instant alerts for potential security breaches, all from a unified platform. This integration makes it a reality.

For professionals in sectors like enterprise, education, retail, and healthcare, this means:

• Reduced complexity: Manage your access control and video security from a single, intuitive interface.
• Faster incident response: Visually verify events and take immediate action.
• Improved situational awareness: Gain a comprehensive view of your security environment.
• Enhanced compliance: Maintain detailed audit logs and reports for regulatory compliance.

The power of open platforms

Rhombus’s open platform philosophy aligns perfectly with our commitment to providing flexible solutions. This integration is just one example of how we’re empowering organisations to build custom security solutions that meet their unique needs.

Looking ahead

We’re excited about the possibilities this integration brings to our customers. By combining the strengths of Inner Range Inception and Rhombus, we’re providing a powerful, unified security solution that simplifies operations, enhances security, and delivers actionable insights.
