Honeywell  has announced a strategic collaboration with Rhombus to expand its cloud-connected security and access solutions portfolio with new AI-powered video capabilities. The move marks another step in Honeywell’s broader effort to modernize building security, following its 2024 acquisition of LenelS2.

Through this partnership, the two companies will deliver a unified cloud-based solution that integrates access control and video management into a single platform designed for easy deployment, scalability, and management. The offering aims to simplify security operations while enhancing visibility and control across commercial environments.

Billal Hammoud, President and CEO of Honeywell Building Automation, said the collaboration brings together Honeywell’s global reach and deep expertise in access solutions with Rhombus’ advanced cloud video capabilities and AI-driven enhancements. He emphasized that the combined solution will provide customers with innovation while maintaining reliability and system resilience.

The partnership comes at a time when organizations are rapidly shifting toward cloud-based security systems. Industry data indicates that cloud video solutions are growing at an annual rate exceeding 20% and are expected to remain the fastest-growing segment in the security industry through 2029. By combining their capabilities, Honeywell and Rhombus aim to support enterprises in transitioning to cloud-based infrastructure in a cost-efficient and scalable manner while reducing operational risks.

Garrett Larsson, co-founder and CEO of Rhombus, highlighted the importance of open platforms in modern physical security. He noted that the partnership with Honeywell will enable customers to access advanced solutions spanning video security, access control, sensors, and building management systems. With the integration of AI technologies from both organizations, customers are expected to gain immediate value through enhanced insights and smarter security operations.

As part of the agreement, Honeywell will distribute Rhombus products through its established channel partners and system integrator networks. The companies also plan deeper integrations that embed Rhombus’ AI analytics directly into Honeywell’s access control platforms. These capabilities will allow organizations to move beyond traditional surveillance by using video data for operational intelligence, including analyzing activity patterns, investigating incidents, and optimizing the use of physical spaces.

The solution is designed to serve a wide range of commercial environments, including retail chains, fitness centers, schools, and distributed enterprise locations. Initially, Rhombus products will be available through Honeywell in North America, with plans to expand availability to additional regions over time.
