ProdataKey and Rhombus Systems Partner to Offer Access Control and Video Cloud Integration

ProdataKey (PDK), has announced the release of a seamless integration with Rhombus Systems, a cloud-based video surveillance and asset tracking systems. In joining forces, the two companies bring to market the industry’s easiest-to-implement, easiest-to-use, comprehensive access control and AI-assisted video management solution.

The integration is free to PDK dealers and available immediately.

The PDK/Rhombus integration allows users of a Pdk io access control system to easily associate readers with Rhombus cameras, facilitating automated processes that simplifying monitoring while enhancing security. Video clips for all entry events are captured and indexed, and may be filtered and searched for easy investigation. PDK credentials, combined with Rhombus facial recognition algorithms, allow for highly accurate AI-powered entry verification that matches faces to credentials. Real-time alerts for unauthorized access, tailgating, and persons-of-interest may be sent to system administrators, speeding up response time. Rhombus license plate recognition can be tied to garage and parking access points, providing frictionless entry for employees while documenting visitor access.

The PDK/Rhombus integrated solution requires no onsite servers and no downloaded software. Integration between the systems is accomplished in seconds via a few clicks within the software interface via phone, tablet, or web-enabled computer. Dealers may customize trigger events and automated responses to align with customers’ security objectives. The integration is fully scalable, supporting an unlimited number of PDK and Rhombus devices. Both systems offer end-to-end encryption for enterprise-grade security.

“We are extremely excited about PDK’s partnership with Rhombus,” said Dallan Labrum, director of sales at ProdataKey. “Sharing a video integration with another cloud-based solution allows our dealer partners to install more product in less time, while offering their customers a more robust, effective security solution that leverages the power of video analytics. Because both platforms are communicating through the cloud, the integration delivers an exceptionally clean user experience along with a much easier integration set-up.”
