If you use IP security cameras for live monitoring, it’s especially important that footage has low latency and it is as accurate and up to date as possible. But what is considered ‘good’ or ‘bad’ latency when it comes to video surveillance? How does being in ‘the cloud’ affect it? This post will explore the differences between low latency, ultra-low latency, and real-time streaming. We’ll talk about what you actually need for your video security system, and how you can achieve ultra-low latency and real-time streaming.

As a smart video security platform, Rhombus includes many AI features that enhance visibility, investigations, emergency response, and more. With Feature Enablement, it’s now faster and more intuitive than ever to activate and deactivate different enterprise-level AI features across all your cameras.

While many organizations use basic video surveillance for physical security, modern solutions like smart security cameras can take it a step further.
