Rhombus, a pioneer in cloud-managed physical security solutions, announced the expansion of its AI-powered Operational Analytics capabilities with two powerful new features: Line Crossing and Occupancy Counting.
These solutions give organisations real-time spatial intelligence tools to improve how they manage traffic flow, space utilisation, and staffing. Both work with existing Rhombus camera infrastructure and can be centrally managed from the Rhombus console.
Rhombus continues to expand video intelligence beyond traditional surveillance by unlocking AI-fueled insights that help businesses solve everyday operational challenges. With these new features, security footage instantly becomes a live source of business intelligence to give teams a clear understanding of precisely how spaces are used and how to improve them.
Line Crossing lets organisations define custom boundaries within camera views to monitor the directional traffic of how and when people or vehicles cross from one area to another.
These insights are critical for identifying peak usage patterns and making layout or schedule changes that improve flow and efficiency. From retail store entrances to manufacturing loading docks, Line Crossing provides actionable data through clear, intuitive reporting.
Occupancy Counting provides ongoing estimates of how many people are in a given area by using AI models. The solution eliminates the need for manual headcounts or check-in systems, enabling teams to manage capacity and identify underused areas. These insights help organisations respond to fluctuations in foot traffic, optimise space layout, and better align staffing with actual demand.
Both Line Crossing and Occupancy Counting are designed to support a wide range of operational needs across industries. For example:
● In retail environments, traffic flow data can inform smarter product placement and optimise underperforming departments.
● In manufacturing settings, tracking vendor deliveries can reduce congestion at loading docks.
● At fitness centres, occupancy visibility enables better fitness class and staff planning while minimising safety hazards.
The expansion of the Operational Analytics suite underscores Rhombus’ broader commitment to making its video intelligence solutions continually smarter, faster, and more adaptive. From real-time alerts to natural language video search, Rhombus uses AI to eliminate otherwise tedious manual efforts, accelerate investigations, and proactively detect threats.
At the same time, the platform helps teams improve safety, increase efficiency, and make better decisions across their operations. By combining AI-enabled video analytics, audio detection, and IoT sensor data, Rhombus delivers a unified solution that adapts to each customer’s needs, supports evolving workflows, and helps organisations get more value from their existing security infrastructure.
Line Crossing and Occupancy Counting work with Rhombus’ dome, bullet, and multisensor camera series, and are available with no additional hardware or complex setup. Teams can access trends and reports through the same intuitive cloud-managed platform they already use, or pull data into their systems via Rhombus’ open APIs
