Product Features
Technical Overview
This network camera captures video at 5-megapixel resolution with a maximum frame size of 2592x1944 pixels. The varifocal lens offers a 2.9x optical zoom range from 2.8mm wide-angle to 8mm telephoto, with a fast f/1.6 maximum aperture for improved low-light performance. The imaging system supports full-color recording during daylight and automatically switches to infrared-enhanced monochrome in low-light conditions.
Network connectivity includes a Fast Ethernet RJ-45 port with PoE support (IEEE 802.3af/at compatible) and integrated dual-band Wi-Fi for flexible deployment options. Remote management capabilities allow administrators to configure settings, view live feeds, and review recorded footage from any standard web browser or compatible mobile application.
This section brings together practical product details such as HD Recording, Recording Formats, Night Vision, Color Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

Deployment / Use Cases
The Rhombus R230 is designed for professional surveillance applications requiring detailed video evidence and reliable operation in challenging environments. Its 5-megapixel resolution makes it particularly suitable for applications where facial recognition, license plate identification, or detailed scene analysis is necessary.
Common deployment scenarios include retail store perimeter monitoring, warehouse inventory surveillance, school campus security, parking lot oversight, and industrial facility monitoring. The camera's wide operating temperature range and robust environmental sealing make it effective for both climate-controlled interiors and exposed outdoor locations.
Retail Loss Prevention
High-resolution imaging captures clear facial details and product interactions, while the dome design provides discreet monitoring without obvious camera direction.
Perimeter Security
Extended 100-foot night vision and weather-resistant construction enable reliable monitoring of building exteriors, gates, and property boundaries in all conditions.
Physical Profile
The camera features a low-profile dome enclosure with a transparent polycarbonate bubble that protects the lens while minimizing visual obstruction. Weighing approximately 14.56 ounces, the unit installs securely using the included mounting hardware for wall, ceiling, pole, or corner applications. The RJ-45 connection includes a waterproofing grommet to maintain environmental sealing when using Ethernet cabling.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 14.56 oz (412.77 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
