🔍 AcuSearch Intelligent Search Example
Imagine a security incident at a loading dock where a person was seen late at night.
◆ Select a time range around when the event likely occurred
◆ Choose human as the target object type
◆ Draw a search zone around the specific area of interest
The system then returns only the clips where a person appeared in that zone during the selected time, instantly filtering out unrelated motion and irrelevant footage. This turns hours of manual review into seconds of targeted results.
