Security camera analytics platform

Turn existing security cameras into an on-premise analytics platform

Horus connects to existing IP cameras, runs AI on a local Windows edge machine, and turns live video into alerts, zones, and operational analytics. Video stays on-site; the dashboard receives detection metadata, event history, and reports.

Hardware needed

Existing IP cameras plus a Windows edge machine for local AI inference.

Video privacy

Raw footage is processed on-premise instead of streamed to a third-party cloud.

Security workflow

Intrusion, restricted-area, loitering, people, vehicle, and zone alerts.

Where Horus fits

Horus is strongest when a site already has usable CCTV and wants a focused AI layer: security alerts, restricted-zone rules, queue or occupancy analytics, and reporting without replacing the camera estate. It is especially practical for Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and wider GCC operators that care about data sovereignty.

Where it is not a fit

Horus is not the right first step for analogue-only DVR estates without IP/RTSP access, Linux-only sites with no Windows edge machine, or buyers whose primary use case is facial recognition. Those constraints should be solved before a pilot.

Security analytics questions

What is a security camera analytics platform?

A security camera analytics platform connects to camera feeds, detects people, vehicles, objects, and zone events, and turns those detections into alerts, dashboards, and reports for security and operations teams.

Does Horus require new security cameras?

No. Horus is designed for existing IP cameras and RTSP feeds, including common Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and mixed CCTV estates.

Does video leave the site?

No. Horus processes video on a local Windows edge machine. The cloud dashboard receives event metadata, analytics, and optional snapshots rather than continuous raw video upload.

How is Horus different from enterprise VMS analytics?

Enterprise VMS tools are often tied to complex projects, proprietary hardware, or long sales cycles. Horus starts with existing cameras, a Windows edge machine, and a focused deployment zone.
