What Is Appearance Search?

Appearance Search lets you search by example. Highlight a person or vehicle in any clip to find visually similar matches across time, cameras, and locations. Layer simple filters (time, camera groups, object type) to get to the exact moment that matters.

Great for: locating a person with a red jacket and backpack seen at one entrance and finding every appearance across campus or narrowing a search to a blue sedan across multiple parking lots during a specific time window.
