Rhombus alternative

A Rhombus alternative that runs on your cameras, on your site

Rhombus earns praise for easy setup and multi-site management, but it is still a cloud-first, appliance-led platform. If you are weighing Rhombus and finding the analytics thinner than you hoped, or you would rather not commit to another proprietary camera ecosystem, Horus is worth a look. It delivers AI analytics and real-time alerts on the cameras you already run, processes on-premise for speed and privacy, and is priced for operators who do not want a cloud subscription stacked on top of hardware.

Who should switch?

Switch to Horus if you want deeper operational analytics than a cloud camera platform provides and you would rather not rebuild your camera estate around one vendor's appliances. The fit is SMB and mid-market operators with 1 to 50 sites who already have IP cameras and want footfall, queue, loss-prevention, and safety analytics with instant alerts, processed locally so playback is fast and footage stays private.

Processing is local, so analytics and playback are not gated by cloud round-trips or bandwidth.
