• Save a 10-second clip for all badge entry events
  • This feature saves a clip for any badge events from the associated Rhombus camera. To learn more about saved clips, see our Save, Share, and Delete Video Clips article.

Stop Alarm Monitoring With Badge Entry

Rhombus supports disabling Alarm Monitoring with an authorized badge entry when using the ButterflyMX Integration.

Note: With this feature enabled, remote unlocks will not disable alarm monitoring when using the ButterflyMX Integration.

Console Setup

If alarm monitoring is in manual mode, this feature will stop monitoring until it is manually re-enabled.

If alarm monitoring is on a set schedule, this feature will stop monitoring until it is manually re-enabled or at the next scheduled start time.

1. Navigate to "Settings" and select "Third-Party Integrations."

2. Under the "Badge Systems" dropdown, select "ButterflyMX."

3. Under "Configure Devices," ensure the associated Rhombus cameras match the location where your ButterflyMX device is located.

4. Navigate to "Locations," and select the corresponding location.

5. Select the "Alarm Monitoring" tab. Under the "Alarm Central" section, toggle the "Stop Monitoring with Authorized Badge Entry" button.  Note: When enabled, any authorized badge entry will disable alarm monitoring. If monitoring is on a set schedule, it will resume at the next scheduled start time. Monitoring can be manually enabled at any time.
