How Natural Language Search Works
Natural Language Search uses AI video indexing, natural-language recognition, and real-time metadata tagging to locate footage automatically.
1. AI Indexes Every Clip Automatically
As your mobile surveillance trailer records video, AI analyzes each frame and tags:
- People
- Vehicles
- Colors
- Plates (when paired with LPR)
- Facial profiles (when paired with Facial Comparison AI)
- Behavior (loitering, intrusion, movement direction)
- Objects (bags, tools, packages)
These tags create a fully searchable AI database.
2. You Search Using Natural Language
Simply type what you’re looking for:
- “Person with backpack”
- “Black SUV entering at night”
- “Worker without PPE”
- “Trespasser near storage area"
Natural Language Search understands the query and finds matching clips instantly.
3. AI Filters & Highlights Results
Natural Language Search organizes results using filters like:
- Time
- Zone or camera
- Person/vehicle type
- Motion direction
- Duration
- Event category
This lets you pinpoint the exact moment something occurred. Relevant clips appear immediately with previews, timestamps, and AI metadata.
