Small business CCTV analytics
AI video analytics for small businesses that already have cameras
Horus turns existing CCTV cameras into real-time AI video analytics for retail, warehouses, workshops, clinics, schools, and local facilities. No proprietary cameras, no cloud video upload, and no enterprise rollout.
Use what you own
Connect to existing IP cameras from common brands and start with one site.
Keep video private
AI processing runs on-premise, so footage stays inside your network.
Act in real time
Get alerts for queues, intrusions, PPE, crowding, and operational zones.
Quick answer: best fit and not a fit
Horus is best for small businesses that already have IP cameras, can run a Windows PC on-site, and want queue, security, footfall, or zone alerts without replacing working CCTV. It is not a fit for analogue-only DVR systems without RTSP access, sites with no Windows edge machine, or facial-recognition-first requirements.
The privacy posture is simple: video processing happens locally, while the dashboard receives detection metadata and alerts. That helps operators follow the same practical CCTV data-protection principles outlined by regulators such as the ICO while keeping setup small.
CCTV analytics for small retailers and local operators
Small businesses need practical signals, not another control room. Horus monitors checkout queues, entrances, restricted areas, stockroom doors, loading bays, and customer flow zones. It alerts staff before a queue becomes a complaint, before a restricted area event is missed, and before foot traffic patterns stay invisible for another month.
If your priority is security-first camera monitoring, see the dedicated guide to AI security camera software for small business.

Small-business AI video analytics questions
What small businesses are a fit for Horus?
Horus is a fit for small businesses with existing IP cameras, a Windows PC on-site, and a need for real-time queue, security, footfall, or zone alerts without replacing camera hardware.
What small businesses are not a fit?
Horus is not the right first step for analogue-only DVR estates without RTSP access, Linux-only sites with no Windows machine, or buyers who need facial recognition as the primary use case.
Does Horus upload video to the cloud?
No. Horus processes video locally on the customer's Windows edge machine and sends event metadata, alerts, and optional snapshots to the dashboard.
