Omnilert Overview

Omnilert Gun Detect is an advanced system that employs AI-powered visual gun detection software combined with emergency notification capabilities. When integrated with Rhombus, it delivers a comprehensive approach that spans the entire spectrum of gun threat detection, alerting, and crisis control. To learn more about the benefits of Rhombus and Omnilert, follow the link here.

Setting up Omnilert

To set up the integration, you will need the following:

1. Rhombus Webhook Token (for Notifications & Alerts)
2. Rhombus API Key (for Camera Import)
3. Omnilert Configuration

Rhombus Webhook Token

Below are steps for integrating with the Rhombus Console and retrieving the Webhook Token needed for Omnilert.

1. First, follow the flow below to set up the integration.

Note: If you do not see the Omnilert logo on the Third Party Integrations page, please reach out to Rhombus Support.

Rhombus Web Console > Settings > Third Party Integrations > IoT Integrations > Omnilert

2. Next, toggle the integration on for Omnilert, choose the camera(s) to associate with for gun detection events, add additional checks (save clips and alerts), and click "Save."

3. After saving your configuration, you should now see a Webhook Token available. You will then copy the Webhook token and add it to Omnilert. To see where to add this token on the Omnilert side, please see this section of the article.

4. After adding the Webhook to Omnilert, the final step on the Rhombus side will be to ensure that the correct user alerts for "Gun Detect Event" are checked in the alert notifications. 

Rhombus API Key

The next part of the setup will involve creating a Rhombus API Key for Omnilert. Below are the steps on how and where to set that up in the Rhombus Console.

1. Follow the flow below to get to the API page. 

Rhombus Web Console > Settings > API Management

2. After getting to the page, go ahead and click the "Add API Key" option in the right-hand corner. 

3. Next, you will put a name, have the drop-down be API token, and change the role to Super Admin.

4. Finally, after hitting the "Submit" button, you will have the ability to show and copy the API Key. To see where to add this key on the Omnilert side, please see this section of the article.

Omnilert Configuration

Below is all the information and steps for setting up the Rhombus integration within Omnilert. The Omnilert support document for this information is also available here. The Rhombus Systems integration uses the Plugin Manager on your Omnilert Gun Detect server.

1. Open a terminal window on your Gun Detect server.

2. Enter gd-pluginmgr to launch the Plugin Manager.

3. Then, select the Rhombus plugin.

4. Follow the prompts until the plugin is fully configured.

5. Enter the Webhook Token and click OK.

6. Enter the API Key and click OK.

7. Upon detection, alarms can be created before and after threat verification. Select which alarms should be initiated and whether to run validation on a positive or negative result.

8. Click OK to save your settings.

9. Click OK to continue.

10. Click OK to continue.

11. When complete, the cameras can be imported into Gun Detect using the “Find Cameras” in the Gun Detect UI.

Note: If you unplug cameras, they might be assigned new IP addresses when you plug them back in. If this occurs, you need to re-import the cameras by re-running the setup program.
