Rhombus Installation & Support in Southern California
Design and deploy Rhombus for unified physical security—cloud-managed security cameras, access control, and sensors—with clear runbooks and integrations for your sites across Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Riverside, and San Bernardino.
Why Choose WCC for Rhombus
Rhombus brings cloud-first simplicity to physical security. We translate that into real-world outcomes—coverage maps for camera placement, door schedules for access control, sensor alerting, and clean runbooks your team can follow.
Unified & Cloud-Managed
Video, doors, and sensors with a single dashboard, role-based access, and audit trails.
- Multi-site visibility with simple administration
- Directory/SSO integration and least-privilege roles
- Cross-modal search & event correlation
Thoughtful Deployment
From cabling and mounting to policies and reports, we make daily operations predictable.
- Field-of-view design for security cameras
- Door hardware, schedules, and roles for access control
- Sensor placement & alert policies for sensitive areas
Typical Rhombus Architectures We Build
Standardized, easy-to-manage designs for schools, healthcare, commercial offices, retail, and public sector.

Rhombus Installer FAQs
Can Rhombus work with our existing door hardware?
Common readers, strikes, and locks can be supported with appropriate controllers and wiring. We document each opening and map schedules/roles to your identity provider—see access control for door policy design.
How do you plan storage and bandwidth for cameras?
We plan edge retention per camera based on motion profiles and add cloud archive when needed. On the network side, we size PoE, VLANs, and QoS; for WAN we estimate preview/streaming usage and tune alert frequency and resolution—see security cameras.
What’s the approach to privacy and retention?
We implement least-privilege roles, logging, and retention aligned to your policies. Sensitive areas can use tighter access and shorter retention. We also define approval-driven export workflows with audit trails.
Do you migrate from legacy NVR/VMS?
Yes. We run phased migrations: new coverage first, then staged camera swaps and door cutovers in maintenance windows. We keep a clear rollback plan and parallel views to minimize disruption.
How are alarms handled?
We configure sensor and event policies in Rhombus and integrate with supported monitoring or incident tools when full alarm dispatch is required. We document responsibilities and escalation steps to avoid gaps.
