In a significant step towards enhancing building security, Honeywell and Rhombus have announced their collaboration to introduce advanced cloud-connected video management and access control solutions. This partnership aims to address the growing demand for integrated security systems that can easily be managed across multiple facilities, making it simpler for organizations to maintain robust security measures.
The announcement, made on March 26, 2026, highlights the expansion of Honeywell's security offerings, which have been evolving since its acquisition of LenelS2 in 2024. The partnership with Rhombus allows Honeywell to integrate AI-powered video solutions into its portfolio, providing customers with tools that not only secure their premises but also enhance operational intelligence.
Billal Hammoud, President and CEO of Honeywell Building Automation, expressed confidence that this collaboration harnesses the strengths of both companies. "This strategic alliance combines the strength of Honeywell's access solutions portfolio, domain expertise, and global reach with modern cloud video capabilities and AI enhancements," said Hammoud. The collaborative solution is designed to be scalable and easy to implement, allowing businesses to adapt quickly to their security needs.
With the increasing shift towards cloud-based technologies, security solutions are seeing a massive transformation. According to research from Omdia, cloud video solutions are set to grow by more than 20% annually, potentially becoming the fastest-growing segment within the security industry until 2029. This trend reinforces the importance of the Honeywell-Rhombus partnership in supporting businesses around the globe as they transition to modern security strategies in a cost-efficient manner.
At Rhombus, the philosophy of creating open platform solutions aligns perfectly with Honeywell’s vision. Garrett Larsson, co-founder and CEO of Rhombus, stated that by working with Honeywell, they could deliver pioneering security solutions that encompass video security, access control, sensors, and building automation. The partnership is expected to yield significant immediate benefits for customers, who will now have a single source for their security needs, leading to more streamlined operations.
The advantages of the newly formed partnership extend beyond just traditional surveillance. Through integration, Rhombus’ AI platform will allow customers to extract insightful data from video footage, further transforming video systems into vital sources of operational intelligence. Users will be able to utilize features like Rhombus Insights to train AI algorithms, enabling them to recognize activity patterns, conduct investigations more effectively, and optimize the usage of physical spaces.
The solutions are versatile and cater to various commercial environments, including retail chains, educational institutions, fitness centers, and many others with distributed locations. Initially, Rhombus products will be available through Honeywell’s network in North America, with plans to expand the offering to other regions in due course.
As the security landscape continues to evolve, the partnership between Honeywell and Rhombus serves as a significant milestone in revolutionizing how organizations approach safety and security. This collaboration not only promotes advanced technological solutions but also positions both companies as leaders in the innovative security sector, responding effectively to the needs of a digitally driven world.
