Case Study: South Mississippi Housing Authority achieves stronger security and efficiency with Rhombus

South Mississippi Housing Authority cuts incident review time from 20 hours to 10 minutes with Rhombus

The South Mississippi Housing Authority (SMHA) faced significant security challenges across its 14-county service area, including safeguarding remote facilities, high installation costs for traditional systems, and an unreliable, difficult-to-use legacy system that burdened its IT team. To enhance safety for residents and staff and reduce operational inefficiencies, SMHA turned to Rhombus for a modern cloud-based security solution.

By deploying over 100 of Rhombus' cloud cameras and access control systems, SMHA achieved comprehensive coverage, even in remote locations, using wireless options to avoid costly infrastructure work. The solution from Rhombus led to transformative results: investigation times for incidents dropped from over 20 hours to just 10 minutes, significant cost reductions were realized by eliminating multiple vendor contracts, and enhanced collaboration with law enforcement improved community safety and led to arrests.
