Imagine this: an incident happens at your facility—an unauthorized entry, a stolen item, or a suspicious person loitering. You pull up your video surveillance system… and now you’re stuck scrubbing through hours of footage from dozens of cameras, hoping to get lucky.
There’s a better way.
With AI video search, security teams can instantly pinpoint critical moments across any camera, at all locations, using a simple text-based search—no more fast-forwarding or guessing.
Welcome to the future of video surveillance.
What Is AI Video Search?
AI video search is an advanced surveillance technology that allows you to find specific events in recorded video using natural language or object-based queries. Instead of digging through timelines manually, you can search for terms like:
- “Person in red shirt at the loading dock”
- “White car at 3:00 PM in north parking lot”
- “Man carrying a box at front entrance yesterday”
The CheckVideo Cloud VMS then cues the exact footage in seconds, saving time and improving response.
Why Traditional Video Search Fails Modern Security Teams
Most legacy systems rely on NVRs, DVRs, or basic VMS platforms with limited search functions. You typically need to:
- Know the approximate time of the event
- Remember which camera to check
- Manually scan the timeline
- Repeat the process across multiple devices
This outdated method doesn’t scale—and it certainly doesn’t help in emergencies.
How AI Search Works (And Why It’s a Game-Changer)
At CheckVideo, our OmniAI search transforms traditional surveillance systems by enabling:
Natural Language Search
Just type what happened. The AI scans across all cameras and returns precise video clips in real-time.
Multi-Camera, Multi-Site Search
Search across your entire camera network—no matter how many sites, buildings, or floors.
Smart Filters
Narrow results by time, object type (people, vehicles, bags), behavior, or location.
No Hardware Limitations
Our AI works with your existing cameras (IP or analog via RTSP stream), so you don’t need to rip and replace.
Who’s Using AI Video Search Right Now?
Organizations across industries are already transforming their security operations with AI search:
- Universities use it to investigate campus incidents faster
- Cities use it to improve public safety and reduce investigative workload
- Manufacturers and warehouses use it to monitor theft and safety compliance
- Retailers use it to review customer disputes and loss events efficiently
The ROI of Instant Search
Still not convinced? Here’s how AI video search adds measurable value:
- Saves hours per investigation
- Reduces need for full-time video monitoring
- Accelerates incident response
- Improves documentation and reporting
- Lowers operational and IT overhead
In many cases, customers have reported a 90% reduction in search time.
