Rhombus Camera Import

This guide is for integrators and users who are setting up Rhombus Cameras as a source for video with your Lumeo account.

Lumeo can import and process Rhombus's Secure Raw Streams with an on-premise Gateway or a Lumeo Cloud Gateway with port forwarding to Rhombus cameras within your network.

Note: Lumeo is unable to currently pull live video streams from Rhombus' cloud directly; this is something we are actively working on and will update this article when available.

Local Gateway using Secure Raw Stream URLs

  1. As a first step, follow this guide to generate a Secure Raw Stream URL for each of the cameras you wish to configure in Lumeo: Rhombus Secure Raw Stream Guide
  2. The URL you will get will look like this:
    https://192-168-5-23.lan.rhombus.com:8000/WOkqENXn0iVg/9h0fJgIK6EAclcQ/h264
  3. Configure this URL as the Stream URL for a new stream in Lumeo console -> Deploy -> Streams. Detailed instructions under Camera & Streams guide -> Stream setup section. Be sure to set the correct local Gateway when creating the stream. This stream is only accessible from a Gateway present on the local network.

Lumeo Cloud Gateway using Port forwarded SRS URLs

  1. First, follow this guide to generate a Secure Raw Stream (SRS) URL for each of the cameras you wish to configure in Lumeo: Rhombus Secure Raw Stream Guide
  2. The SRS URL you will get will look like this:
    https://192-168-5-23.lan.rhombus.com:8000/WOkqENXn0iVg/9h0fJgIK6EAclcQ/h264
  3. Now setup port forwarding for each camera using these instructions : Port Forwarding. You may limit access to this port from your Lumeo Cloud Gateway's public IP address for additional security. You will need your public IP address and public port(s) for each camera in the next step.
  4. Replace the IP address and port in the SRS URL with the public IP address and the port for that camera. The result will look something like this:
    https://public-ip-address:public-port/WOkqENXn0iVg/9h0fJgIK6EAclcQ/h264
  5. Configure this URL as the Stream URL for a new stream in Lumeo console -> Deploy -> Streams. Detailed instructions under Camera & Streams guide -> Stream setup section.
