Overview

Event Search is a feature that allows you to quickly locate specific events in historical footage. Event Search currently supports unique human movement events, vehicle movement events, color search, region search, and any movement event that can be captured and logged by a Rhombus device. Event Search can be accessed by clicking the icon on the left-hand side below the video player.

People Search

People Search looks through the currently selected time window to locate human movement events, saved face events, and specific clothing colors. 

1. To utilize the full functionality of People Search, specific AI detection events must be enabled on the device settings and on the video timeline.

2. Select a camera from the "Devices" page, and click the icon on the left-hand side below the video player. 

3. Ensure "Human Movement," "Matched Face," "Alerted Face," and "Color Search" are all enabled in the "Manage Event Types" menu and on the video timeline.

Note: The option to enable "Color Search" is located in the device's license/feature enablement menu. The license/feature enablement menu can be accessed by clicking "Manage Events This Camera Tracks" at the bottom of the "Manage Event Types" menu.

4. With the above event types enabled, "People Search" will, by default, pull up all human movement events within the selected time window. Clicking one of the thumbnails will display the footage associated with that human movement event on the main video feed.

5. The icon opens a panel which allows you to search for a matched face (previously captured by facial recognition), and identify if that person has passed by the camera's field of view within the selected time window.

6. Clicking the icon allows you to select one or more clothing colors and search the selected time window for human movement events where those colors are present.

7. The "Add Region" button allows you to narrow the People Search function down to a specific region within the camera's field of view. 

Vehicle Search

Vehicle Search looks through the selected time window to locate vehicle movement events, unique license plate events, and specific vehicle colors.

1. To utilize the full functionality of Vehicle Search, specific AI detection events must be enabled in the device settings and on the video timeline.

2. Select a camera from the "Devices" page, and click the icon on the left-hand side below the video player. 

3. Ensure "Vehicle Movement," "License Plate Recognition," and "Color Search" are all enabled in the "Manage Event Types" menu and on the video timeline.

Note: The options to enable "Color Search" and "License Plate Recognition" are located in the device's license/feature enablement menu. The license/feature enablement menu can be accessed by clicking the device name at the bottom of the "Manage Event Types" menu.

4. With the above event types enabled, Vehicle Search will, by default, pull up all vehicle movement events in the selected time window. Clicking one of the thumbnails will display the footage associated with that human movement event on the main video feed. 

5. The "Search license plate" search bar allows you to enter a license plate (previously captured by license plate recognition), and identify if that vehicle has passed by the camera's field of view within the selected time window. 

6. Clicking the icon allows allows you to select one or more vehicle colors and search the selected time window for vehicle movement events where those colors are present.

7. The "Add Region" button allows you to narrow the Vehicle Search function down to a specific region within the camera's field of view. 

All Events Search

All Events Search will look through the currently selected time window and compile a list of all the event types that were logged during that time period. Clicking on any of the events in the list will display the associated footage with that event on the main video feed. 

When performing an All Events Search, the events that appear are those selected in the "Manage Event Types" menu and those selected below the video timeline.

Region Search

Region Search allows you to highlight a section of the camera's field of view and search for "Any Movement" events within that region. Once highlighted, "Any Movement" events will appear in list format on the left-hand side of your screen. Clicking one of these thumbnails will display the video footage associated with that event.

Note: The R3 model cameras only support Region Search when using the Fisheye viewing mode.
