Horus review
A clearly priced Windows option for local analytics, with a one-camera Starter plan.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Horus is AI video analytics software for retail, manufacturing, logistics, traffic, security, and other operational teams. It connects to existing IP, RTSP, or ONVIF camera feeds and processes video locally on a Windows computer. The platform combines zone-based real-time alerts with footfall, dwell-time, queue, PPE, perimeter, restricted-area, vehicle, and traffic analytics. Reports, heatmaps, audit logs, and dashboards support operational review, while events and analytics data are sent to its dashboard. Small teams with Windows infrastructure and a need to keep raw video on-site are the clearest fit.
Pricing is straightforward for smaller deployments. The Starter plan costs $49 per month and includes one camera, in-dashboard alerts, operational analytics, and local video processing. Growth costs $129 per month and adds support for up to 3 cameras, mobile alerts, and a weekly AI insights and actions report, alongside everything in Starter. Enterprise is intended for more than 3 cameras and includes multi-site deployment planning plus bespoke development and integration requirements, with commercial terms agreed with Horus. The published launch pricing is protected for the first 12 paid months, and a 14-day trial is available.
Horus’s main trade-off is scope around deployment scale and platform coverage. The documented video-source limit is one, and the software is available on Windows, so organizations managing broader camera estates or requiring another platform should look elsewhere. Within that boundary, its hybrid approach, local processing, RTSP and ONVIF connectivity, and operational templates create a focused option for existing camera infrastructure. Choose Horus when clear monthly pricing, on-premise video handling, and practical operational alerts matter most; avoid it when multi-camera scale or wider platform support is the priority.
