Find critical video evidence in seconds, not hours. Discover Secure Defence's QuickVision AI Search, using natural language to instantly locate events, people, and objects across all cameras.
Stop wasting countless hours scrubbing through video footage. This guide unveils Secure Defence's revolutionary QuickVision Search technology – a powerful AI engine that allows you to find specific events, objects, or people across all your cameras and sites in seconds using simple natural language queries. Discover how this tool transforms video surveillance from a passive recorder into an active, searchable intelligence database, empowering our "best-of-the-best" AI + Human security model.
Video surveillance systems generate vast amounts of data, often terabytes per day across multiple sites. Finding a specific incident – a theft, a safety violation, a vehicle entry – typically involves tedious, manual review of hours, days, or even weeks of footage. This process is inefficient, costly, and prone to human error, significantly delaying investigations and responses. Secure Defence eliminates this bottleneck with QuickVision Search, transforming how you interact with your video data.
This guide delves into the powerful capabilities of QuickVision. Powered by advanced AI video analytics and natural language processing (NLP), it continuously indexes your video streams, tagging objects, people, vehicles, colors, and activities. Users can then instantly query this indexed data using simple, conversational language – "Show me all people wearing yellow vests near Gate 3 yesterday afternoon," or "Find the blue truck that entered the site between 8 AM and 9 AM." QuickVision returns relevant video clips in seconds, dramatically accelerating investigations, improving operational oversight, and providing rapid access to critical evidence. It's a key enabler of our "best-of-the-best" approach, empowering both your team and our monitoring agents with unprecedented speed and efficiency in accessing video intelligence.
Modern security systems capture everything, but finding *anything specific* is like searching for a needle in a digital haystack. Manual video review is a major drain on resources and delays critical action.
QuickVision Search is a core tenet of our "best-of-the-best" model, leveraging AI not just for detection, but for making vast amounts of video data instantly accessible and actionable for human operators, investigators, and managers.
QuickVision continuously processes video streams in the background (either in the cloud via VSaaS or using an on-premise gateway). Our AI analytics engine identifies and tags objects (people, cars, trucks), attributes (clothing color, vehicle type/color), and activities (entering, exiting, loitering). This creates a rich metadata index linked to the video timeline, making the footage searchable.
Users interact with QuickVision Search via a simple search bar, similar to a web search engine. They can type queries in plain English (or other supported languages), specifying object types, attributes, locations (camera names/zones), and timeframes. The system's Natural Language Processing (NLP) interprets the query and instantly searches the metadata index across selected cameras or entire sites, returning thumbnails and links to the relevant video segments in seconds.
QuickVision Search relies on a powerful combination of cutting-edge AI disciplines to transform raw video into searchable, structured data.
At its core, QuickVision utilizes sophisticated deep learning models for real-time video analysis. These models perform tasks like:
The intuitive search interface is powered by an advanced NLP engine. When a user types a query like "man in blue jacket near entrance yesterday 2pm to 3pm," the NLP engine parses the sentence, identifies key entities (object: man, attribute: blue jacket, location: entrance, time: yesterday 2pm-3pm), and translates these into a structured query understandable by the metadata database. This allows users to search using their own words without needing complex filters or technical knowledge.
QuickVision transforms the traditionally cumbersome task of video review into an effortless, near-instantaneous process through a sophisticated workflow involving continuous analysis, intelligent indexing, and intuitive querying.
As video is recorded (either streamed to the cloud via VSaaS or processed by an on-premise gateway), our AI video analytics engine runs continuously. It processes each frame, detecting and classifying objects (people, vehicles), extracting attributes (colors, types), and identifying actions (movement, direction, loitering). For each detected element, it generates descriptive metadata tags linked to the precise timestamp and camera location. This metadata includes information like {'object': 'person', 'attributes': ['red shirt', 'backpack'], 'action': 'entering', 'timestamp': '...', 'camera': 'Lobby Cam'}. This creates a constantly growing, searchable index of everything happening across your cameras.
A user accesses the Secure Defence platform (web or mobile) and enters a natural language query into the QuickVision Search bar (e.g., "White pickup truck leaving Site B yesterday"). The NLP engine parses this query, converting it into a structured search targeting the metadata index (e.g., object=truck, attribute=white, action=exiting, location=Site B, time=yesterday). The system rapidly scans the indexed metadata across potentially terabytes of video data from relevant cameras and timeframes. Within seconds, it returns a gallery of thumbnail results, each representing a video segment matching the query criteria. Clicking a thumbnail instantly plays the corresponding video clip, allowing the user to quickly verify the event or find the specific moment they need.
QuickVision Search fundamentally changes the value proposition of video surveillance, turning passive recording into an active intelligence tool with profound operational benefits.
