AI security camera software for small business

Add AI to the security cameras you already own

Horus turns existing IP cameras into on-premise AI alerts and analytics for small shops, warehouses, clinics, schools, and local operators. Video stays on-site, setup starts with one camera, and you do not need proprietary camera hardware.

No rip-and-replace

Use existing IP cameras and RTSP feeds instead of buying a new cloud camera stack.

No cloud video upload

Horus runs AI processing locally so camera footage remains inside your site.

Operations, not just playback

Detect queues, intrusions, restricted areas, vehicle events, PPE, and zone activity.

Built for practical small-business camera monitoring

Small businesses usually need faster awareness, fewer blind spots, and clear evidence without adding another complex security system. Horus lets a manager define the zones that matter: entrances, stockrooms, checkout counters, loading doors, parking areas, and restricted spaces. The system watches for configured activity and sends actionable alerts when something needs attention.

Because video processing runs locally, Horus is a fit for businesses that care about privacy and data control. The FTC advises businesses to protect personal information and keep customer data secure; the ICO notes that CCTV and video surveillance require appropriate data protection handling. Horus helps by avoiding routine cloud upload of raw footage.

Small-business AI camera questions

Can Horus add AI to my existing security cameras?

Yes. Horus connects to existing IP cameras and RTSP camera feeds, so small businesses can add AI alerts and analytics without replacing working CCTV hardware.

Does Horus upload security footage to the cloud?

No. Horus processes video locally on a Windows PC at your site. The camera footage stays on your premises while event metadata powers dashboards and reports.

What hardware does a small business need?

Most teams start with an existing Windows PC or local workstation plus their existing IP cameras. A GPU is helpful for larger camera counts, but a first deployment can start small.

How much does small-business AI camera analytics cost?

Horus is packaged around practical camera limits rather than replacing your whole camera estate. Founder pricing is available for selected early deployments.

What alerts can Horus send?

Horus supports zone-based alerts for intrusions, queues, restricted areas, people, vehicles, PPE, and other industry-specific events depending on your setup.
