AOSU unveils HomeCortex at CES
AOSU has announced the HomeCortex, a new smart home security hub set to debut at CES 2025. The system promises to simplify home security with centralized management, using advanced AI to coordinate devices and analyze events. It also breaks from the subscription-based model by providing up to 16TB of local storage, making it a compelling choice for homeowners looking for robust, long-term security without the extra costs.
The HomeCortex addresses the growing demand for unified smart home security solutions, where a single system can manage multiple cameras and related devices. As more households adopt connected technology, centralized control has become essential, streamlining what can often be a fragmented setup. With local storage options ranging from 32GB to 16TB, the HomeCortex also eliminates the recurring costs of cloud subscriptions, allowing homeowners to store years of footage securely.
At its core, the HomeCortex uses advanced AI tools to enhance security. Facial recognition distinguishes family and friends from strangers, reducing false alarms, while vehicle identification tracks license plates to alert users about unfamiliar cars. Wall-climbing detection adds another layer of protection, triggering alarms to deter potential intruders.
The HomeCortex comes with 32GB of storage that expandable up to 16TB.

The system’s cross-camera functionality provides seamless coverage, synchronizing footage across multiple devices to track movement across locations. When reviewing footage, the intelligent video search feature quickly locates specific events, like identifying a person or vehicle, without the need to sift through hours of recordings. Daily security reports and end-of-day video recaps further simplify monitoring.
To keep footage organized, the HomeCortex categorizes recordings by event type—such as motion detection or vehicle activity—making retrieval straightforward even with extensive storage.
In a competitive market, the HomeCortex stands out for its combination of features. Similar to the Eufy HomeBase S380, it offers up to 16TB of storage and advanced AI capabilities. However, it surpasses the Reolink Home Hub, which lacks comparable AI tools and storage capacity. This positions the HomeCortex as a strong competitor in the AI-driven home security space.
We hope to get a firsthand look at the AOSU HomeCortex at CES 2025 and will report back.
