As a core part of the OWS AI Analytics suite, AI Visual Search and AI Visual Check offer businesses innovative and intuitive tools built to improve operations and fortify security.

With these integral platform functionalities, OpenEye provides a premium video offering that supports the businesses of its customers and helps them scale their workflows to enable greater future growth.

OpenEye founder and CEO Rick Sheppard said, “These AI-powered capabilities mark a significant step forward in transforming video into a source of actionable intelligence for our customers—going beyond traditional security. With natural language search and automated alerts on visual changes, we’re saving businesses time and eliminating manual effort with trusted, proactive solutions that help our customers operate more effectively every day.”

AI Visual Search in OWS locates specific moments in video footage via simple user-input descriptions. Users can type in a natural-language query, such as “A person carrying a box in the lobby yesterday afternoon,” and the system will quickly surface the most relevant results across cameras.

With AI Visual Search, businesses can enjoy:

  • User-Friendly Searches: Designed for every user in mind, AI Visual Search makes it easy to search footage quickly and effectively.
  • Seamless Investigations: Accelerate investigations by describing a person or vehicle and letting AI surface the evidence you need.
  • Rapid Responses: Reduce incident response time by quickly surfacing the footage needed to act when it matters most.
  • Time Savings: Reduce hours-long video investigations down to seconds by surfacing relevant footage through a simple natural-language description.
  • Actionable Results: Thumbnail previews linked directly to video clips allow for immediate verification, reducing the steps between search and action.

AI Visual Check

Designed to automate monitoring of business operations, safety protocols, and compliance across multiple locations, AI Visual Check provides proactive alerts when issues are detected. This includes blocked fire exits, out-of-stock shelves, or unattended security posts, to reduce reliance on manual oversight or walkthroughs, enable faster resolution, and free up resources across modern enterprises.
