Save time searching video with AI Visual Search in OpenEye Web Services (OWS), turning natural-language requests into results so businesses can focus on what’s important.

AI Visual Search lets you locate specific moments in your video footage by simply describing what you’re looking for in plain language. Traditional video investigations require manually scrubbing through hours of footage or configuring complex search filters, a time-consuming process that slows down your team especially when urgent matters are pressing. AI Visual Search allows you to type in a natural-language description, such as “A person carrying a box in the lobby yesterday afternoon,” and the system quickly surfaces the most relevant results across your cameras, turning what used to take hours into seconds.

By eliminating manual review time and delivering clear, actionable insights, AI Visual Search empowers teams to make faster, more confident decisions.

Identify Persons of Interest

AI Visual Search helps easily identify persons of interest across locations. This assists during investigations, streamlining the overall process, and ensuring the right video is located quickly.

For example, if a property manager needs to locate a person involved in an incident, security teams can search, “Person walking a dog near the entrance yesterday morning,” and quickly review relevant footage. In another case, team members who need to locate unusual activity occurring in or around their office building can search “Person with a backpack on the stairwell this afternoon” to identify when and where the individual appeared.

These examples are only the starting point for intuitive, user-friendly search which helps organizations easily locate certain individuals.

Track Vehicle Activity

With AI Visual Search, businesses can track vehicle activity around sites, whether for operational or security purposes, by surfacing video quickly through intelligent search options.

From confirming deliveries to reviewing site access, users can search queries like, “Delivery truck with FEDEX text in the parking lot this afternoon,” or “Construction vehicle entering the west gate yesterday.”

Queries like these can be leveraged to uncover valuable insights into the movement of vehicles across locations, ensuring more visibility into operations and streamlining security issues quickly.

Check Processes Around Assets and Goods

Organizations can leverage AI Visual Search to check on assets and goods across their business and ensure merchandise stocking and handling procedures are being followed.

Warehouse supervisors can verify product movement by searching “Employee using a forklift near the warehouse door yesterday” to confirm floor activity and track processes while equipment is used. Delivery questions can also be resolved by searching prompts such as, “Person carrying boxes through the back door yesterday afternoon” to track when items were moved.

Leveraging intelligent search options helps businesses identify how assets are being used and where goods are moved. If accidents happen, damage occurs to merchandise, or procedures are ignored, video can be located to quickly navigate the issue.

Whether verifying events, tracking operational trends, or uncovering key moments, OWS puts the power of AI Visual Search in the hands of businesses, helping uncover greater opportunities for optimization and fortified security. By leveraging AI Visual Search, organizations can utilize:

  • User-Friendly Searches: Designed for every user in mind, AI Visual Search makes it easy for your whole team to search footage quickly and effectively.
  • Seamless Investigations: Accelerate investigations by describing a person or vehicle and letting AI surface the evidence you need.
