EyesOnIt is making AI video search as simple as typing a sentence with instant, natural language video search across live and archived feeds. With Natural Language Forensic Search, our AI video surveillance software allows users to search across both live and recorded video streams using plain English, just like searching email or documents. Two powerful use cases of this technology include:
- Searching through archived footage
- Monitoring all cameras live in real-time for object description matches
Searching through hours of video footage has long been a major pain point for security teams, safety officers, and operations professionals. Even with video management systems (VMS) in place, finding the exact moment a person entered a restricted area or when a vehicle loitered too long can take hours of fast-forwarding, clicking, and guessing.
This blog will cover how businesses can leverage EyesOnIt’s Natural Language Forensic Search to improve surveillance operations.
What Is Natural Language Video Search?
Natural language video search refers to the ability to type descriptive queries, like “blue truck near loading dock” or “person wearing a backpack lying on grass,” and receive relevant video results instantly. It eliminates the need for manually tagging footage or using rigid filters that rarely reflect real-world search needs.
EyesOnIt’s implementation of this technology is one of the most advanced on the market, thanks to its foundation: a Large Vision Model trained on over 2 billion images, capable of recognizing a vast range of people, vehicles, behaviors, and environmental cues.
5 Key Features of EyesOnIt’s Search Capability
- Search Live and Archived Video Feeds: Instantly search across hundreds of live camera streams, including up to 1 second behind real time, or across archived video from any time range.
- Use Plain English to Search: No coding. No filters. No camera IDs. Just type what you’re looking for, such as:
- “Person with black hat and backpack”
- “Blue Ford truck in parking lot”
- “Person laying on grass near warehouse”
- Search by Object Similarity: Found someone suspicious? Click to find that same person or vehicle across all camera streams and timeframes.
- Sort by Relevance or Time: Prioritize the most visually accurate matches or view chronologically to reconstruct incident timelines.
- Built to Scale: EyesOnIt is designed to search hundreds of live video streams simultaneously, with local processing that ensures speed, privacy, and reliability without relying on cloud bandwidth.
For enterprise security teams, municipal surveillance programs, or system integrators supporting complex VMS deployments, the ability to instantly search all camera feeds with a single, descriptive query is a massive time-saver and risk reducer. Instead of relying on memory or timelines, operators can now search by description and immediately surface relevant footage, cutting hours of manual review down to seconds.
