Start with the right camera and time window

A reported incident often begins with a place and an approximate time. Camera and date filters help reviewers isolate relevant event records, then open available snapshots or clips. Location filtering depends on camera registration; filters cannot recover events that were never recorded.

Catalog workflow. Confirm detector availability, permitted use and event delivery for the proposed deployment. Website examples are illustrative.

The Process

How It Works

Give an investigation a clear scope. Concentrate review on records within the reported scope.

01

Prepare the view

Confirm the incident location, approximate time and covering cameras.

02

Assess the observation

Apply available criteria, checking the time zone and access scope.

03

Review the evidence

Inspect records and evidence; expand the window when initial details are uncertain.

04

Choose a response

Document the filters and findings without treating an empty list as proof of absence.

ObservationAn operator selects available event metadata rather than triggering new detection.A stored event category or supported query matches the activity being investigated.
Event criteriaApply permitted camera, location and time criteria to an accessible event collection.Submit an available event type or supported query within a defined scope.
Monitoring setupUse correct time zones, camera labels and permissions; widen uncertain intervals deliberately.Use detector-specific definitions, known coverage and an agreed interval.
What it cannot establishMetadata filters do not search the visual contents of arbitrary recordings or prove an event did not occur.General visual activity search is not verified in the reviewed code. Incorrect labels and undetected events limit event-only searches.
Practical outcomeBegin an investigation with a manageable, explicitly defined set of records.Investigate a specific observation before reviewing unrelated event categories.

A delivery discrepancy is reported for an afternoon.

Example event: Records match the entrance camera and interval.

Operator response: A reviewer compares clips with the delivery log.

Practical value: The investigation retains a reproducible scope.

Frequently asked questions

Search by location, camera, date or time, Explained.

Event filtering narrows accessible records by their camera, location and recorded time before an operator examines the evidence.

Does this search everything visible in a recording?

No. Metadata filtering selects existing records. Visual or semantic archive search requires a separate, confirmed service.

Why might a camera return no results?

It may have no matching records, no event producer, missing data or restricted access.

Can I filter by building or site?

That depends on camera-location structure and enabled filters. Confirm available fields during setup.

Are camera timestamps always comparable?

Check device clocks, event timestamps and interface time zones before reconstructing a sequence.
