AI Search

Ask in natural language. Get the evidence.

AI Search runs a vision language model on the camera itself. Describe the vehicle or the person you are looking for the way you would say it out loud, and get matching frames with evidence instead of hours of footage to scrub.

How it works

Describe it. The camera finds it.

Conventional review means choosing a camera, picking a time window, and scrubbing through hours of footage. AI Search flips that: the camera already understands what it saw, so you ask in natural language and get matching evidence back.

Every frame understood by the camera model
See

Every frame understood

The model describes what passes: vehicle type, colour, plate, and the text and logos on the body.

Search matched to natural language words
Reason

Matched to your words

Your description is matched against those understandings, so a phrase works where a dropdown cannot.

Evidence Found

Each match returns the frame, the timestamp and the plate.

Compared

Conventional forensic search vs AI Search.

Forensic review usually means choosing a camera, narrowing a time window, and scrubbing through hours of footage. AI Search inverts that: describe what you saw and get matching evidence back.

Conventional

Forensic search

Pick a camera, set a time range, scrub frame by frame — and hope the moment is still in the recording.

AI Search

Plain-language search

Describe what you saw in your own words. The camera returns ranked matches with frame, timestamp and plate.

How you search

Pick a camera, set a time range, scrub frame by frame

Type a plain-language description of what you are looking for

What you need upfront

Plate number, lane and approximate time before you can start

A visual description — colour, sticker, clothing, damage, vehicle type

Operator workload

Hours of manual review across multiple cameras

Review ranked matches in seconds, not shifts

Searchable attributes

Metadata filters only — plate, time, camera

Type, colour, text, logos, stickers and people attributes

Where processing happens

Often server-side; footage may need uploading first

On-device VLM on Recon — query answered at the gantry

Evidence output

Manual clip export if you find the right moment

Frame, timestamp and plate returned with every match

Across the network

Repeat the same process per camera and per console

EdgeTrack extends one query across every connected unit

Benefits

How AI Search helps your team.

Investigations move faster when operators describe what they saw instead of replaying everything the camera recorded. These are the outcomes teams see once plain-language search is live.

01 · Speed

Faster investigations

Turn hours of scrubbing into seconds of review. Operators start with matches, not raw footage.

02 · Flexibility

Start without a plate

Describe what you saw — a sticker, a jacket, a vehicle colour — and let the camera find candidates.

03 · Depth

Richer search criteria

Go beyond dropdown filters. Search logos, text on glass, clothing, damage and vehicle attributes.

04 · Proof

Evidence with every match

Each result returns the frame, timestamp and plate — ready for enforcement or dispute resolution.

05 · Privacy

On-site processing

The model runs on the camera. Queries are answered locally and footage never has to leave the site.

06 · Scale

Corridor-wide search

EdgeTrack extends the same query across every connected unit — one description, many cameras.

What you can ask

Queries an operator actually types.

These are descriptions, not filters. Nobody has to know the plate, the lane or the minute to start looking.

Offline

No cloud dependency

The model sits on the unit, so a query is answered on site and footage never has to be uploaded.

Across every device

EdgeTrack extends the same query to the connected units, turning one camera into a corridor.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is AI Search?

AI Search is an advanced search feature that uses a Vision Language Model (VLM) to let operators query camera feeds in natural language. Instead of scrubbing hours of footage, you type a description and get matching results in seconds.

What kind of queries can I run?

Text on vehicles (e.g., "Ganesh" written in Marathi), brand logos (e.g., "Puma"), appearance attributes (e.g., "man with red cap," "yellow face emoji sticker"), vehicle descriptions (e.g., "damaged white truck"), and partial plate matches.

What languages does it support?

English, Hindi, and Marathi. The system recognizes text in all three languages on vehicles, signs, and other surfaces.

How fast are the results?

Results are returned in real time with minimal latency. The search results update dynamically as new data is added from the camera feed.

Does it run on the camera or on a server?

AI Search runs on the Recon Global Shutter camera's edge processor (157 TOPS, 1024 CUDA cores). No server-side processing is needed for the search itself, though results are viewable on the EdgeTrack dashboard.

What are the main use cases?

Law enforcement investigations (finding suspect vehicles or people by description), highway monitoring (finding specific vehicles across corridors), and forensic analysis (searching recorded footage for specific events or objects).

Is it included with the Recon Global Shutter camera?

AI Search is an optional add-on to the Recon Global Shutter camera. It can be enabled on any deployed camera without hardware changes.

How is it different from traditional ANPR search?

Traditional ANPR search is limited to plate numbers. AI Search goes beyond the plate. You can search by vehicle appearance, text, logos, human attributes, or any visual detail the camera has captured. It answers "what did you see?" not just "which plate passed."
