Case Study: Colony Hardware achieves DVR-free, centralized cloud video security with Rhombus

Colony Hardware - Customer Case Study

Colony Hardware, a national supplier and distributor with 30 locations, faced repeated failures and a major overnight robbery caused by on-site DVR/NVR systems that were easy to disable. Director of Facilities and Safety Cindee Burns needed a cloud-based, harder-to-compromise video security solution and selected Rhombus to replace siloed, reactive DVR/NVR infrastructure.

Rhombus delivered a cloud-managed video security solution—removing the need for DVR/NVRs—and deployed 275 Rhombus cameras across 10 stores within months. The single Rhombus Console gives 24/7 remote access, end-to-end encryption, local backup plus cloud archiving, faster investigations (e.g., quickly locating and sharing a vandalism clip with police), simplified management, and scalable permissions—significantly improving security and operational efficiency.
