What is natural-language video search?
Traditional video review is manual. When something happens, an operator opens the video management system (VMS), guesses a camera and a time window, and scrubs — often through hours of footage — hoping to catch the moment. It is slow, it is easy to miss things, and it does not scale across dozens or hundreds of cameras.
Natural-language video search replaces that with a question. You type what you are looking for the way you would tell a colleague — "find the person in a red jacket near the loading dock after 2pm" — and the system returns the clips that match, ranked, with the source camera and timestamp attached.
Every answer is grounded to the clip
An answer you cannot verify is a liability, not an asset. VIZIRIX does not just tell you what happened — it shows you. Each result links back to the exact source clip and timestamp, so an investigator, a manager, or an auditor can open the footage and confirm it for themselves.
Grounded answers are what make the output defensible. When someone asks "how do you know?", the answer is a clip reference — not a claim.
What you can ask
Because the search understands the scene rather than just metadata, the questions can be operational, not technical:
- "What happened at the west entrance between 2 and 4pm?"
- "Any vehicles idling by the perimeter fence after hours?"
- "Show me every time a door was propped open today."
- "Find the delivery van that arrived around noon."
- "Was anyone in the server corridor overnight?"
Investigations that used to take an afternoon of scrubbing collapse into a few minutes of asking.
Works with the cameras you already have
VIZIRIX is an AI layer, not a rip-and-replace. It runs on top of your existing camera fleet and VMS — it complements what you have installed rather than forcing you to buy new hardware. If your cameras already record, VIZIRIX can make that recording searchable and conversational.
Private by design, on-prem capable
Surveillance footage is sensitive. VIZIRIX can be deployed on-premises so video never has to leave your perimeter — a requirement for many security, compliance, and privacy teams. See on-prem video AI for how that deployment works.
Frequently asked questions
What is natural-language video search?
It lets you describe what you are looking for in plain English — for example, "find the person in a red jacket near the loading dock after 2pm" — and get the matching clips back, instead of manually scrubbing hours of recorded footage.
Does VIZIRIX replace my existing cameras or VMS?
No. VIZIRIX is an AI layer that sits on top of the cameras and video management system you already run. It complements existing infrastructure rather than replacing it.
How do I know an answer is accurate?
Every answer is grounded — it points back to the exact source clip and timestamp so an investigator or auditor can open the footage and verify it directly.
Can it run on-premises?
Yes. VIZIRIX can be deployed on-premises so your video never has to leave your perimeter.
