Overview

Video Walls allow you to monitor multiple camera feeds simultaneously within a customizable grid layout. You can create and organize video walls by adding cameras, adjusting layouts, configuring streaming and appearance settings, and sharing walls with other users. This article covers how to create, configure, share, and delete video walls, as well as performance recommendations and camera limitations for optimal viewing.

Permissions

If a user tries to access this wall, but does not have access to all cameras on the wall (see role-based access for more info), they will only be able to view the cameras they have access to. If they do not have permission to view any of the cameras, the entire video wall will not be displayed.

All organizations contain an "All cameras" video wall which cannot be edited. Users will only see cameras they have access to.

Share a Video Wall

1. Navigate to the "Video Walls" tab and click the Screenshot 2026-05-27 at 10.33.50 AM.png icon beside the video wall you want to share, or open a video wall and click the icon at the top of the page.

2. Click "Add Video Wall Link."

Note: If this wall was shared previously, share links will appear in this pop-up.

Video Wall Camera Limit

The maximum cameras viewable at one time is 16. If you experience any issues with a larger video wall, we recommend taking the below steps:

1. Reduce the number of cameras in the layout

2. Enable Performance Mode

3. Disable Realtime Streaming

4. Switch from HD to SD

If the issue persists, contact Support.

Video Walls can be used with the Apple TV app. Review our Rhombus TV Walkthrough article to navigate through the setup.

1. Log in to the Rhombus Console, navigate to the "Video Walls" tab, then click "Add Video Wall."

2. Name the video wall and click "Create."

3. Once created, the video wall will initially be in Edit Mode.

4. Add cameras: Select the dropdown menus for the listed locations. Click a camera thumbnail to add that camera to the video wall. Cameras with a blue checkmark in the lower-right corner of their thumbnail have already been added to the video wall. Note: Cameras can be added once per video wall.

5. Position cameras: Once a camera is added, the right side of the screen will display a preview of the video wall. Drag and drop cameras to change where they appear within the layout.

6. Configure: The top bar contains multiple settings for this video wall. A description of what each button does is provided below: Performance: A dropdown menu with settings to improve performance, including: Resolution: SD (Standard Definition) or HD (High Definition). For optimal performance, we recommend SD. SD will only apply to cameras connected over WAN unless in Realtime streaming is enabled. Realtime Streaming: For optimal performance and to create a smooth viewing experience, video walls have a short delay of ~6 seconds. With this setting enabled, the streaming delay is set to less than 1 second. (Enabling this setting may result in choppy playback for computers lacking sufficient processing power.) Performance Mode: Disables non-essential player functionality for increased performance in large video walls, or long-running video displays. LAN Only: Restrict all cameras to LAN connections only. If a camera is not available over LAN, it will not stream on the video wall. Appearance: A dropdown menu with settings that adjust the appearance of the video wall. Rotate Video: Default off. When enabled, this setting will rotate cameras on a set time interval (i.e., 5 seconds, 10 seconds, etc.) or when a camera registers a movement event. Labels: Enabling these toggles will display the associated option on all cameras on the video wall. Auto-Size: This setting will auto-size the camera feeds. Default Aspect Ratio: This will maintain a full view of the footage with the original aspect ratio. Full View Cropped: This will crop the footage for a more immersive viewing experience. Stretch to Fit: This will distort footage for a more immersive viewing experience without cropping. Grid: Select from the available grid options to alter the layout of the cameras on your video wall. <- or ->: These arrows will cycle through the remaining cameras that are not shown on the video wall but are selected to display on the wall. Full Screen: Allows you to view the video wall in full screen mode.
7. Save: Once you have configured the video wall to your liking, click "Save."
8. Edit Visibility: By default, your newly created video wall will only be visible to you once saved. To make the wall visible to others and/or editable by others, click "Edit" after saving your wall, and enable the corresponding toggles.
