Questions, answered.

It turns security footage into searchable, timestamped observations. Ask about people, clothing, objects or actions, get a brief finding or summary, and open a cited moment to review the footage yourself.

Sign in with Google, paste a YouTube link in the workspace and add the video. Wait for analysis to finish and the source to become searchable, then ask a question. Use a public or unlisted YouTube video. Private videos do not work; make sure your video is not set to private before adding its link. Other YouTube access restrictions may also prevent analysis.

If your recording is already on YouTube, just paste its link. You do not need to send a large original file from your device to our service again, so submitting the video can be quicker and more convenient, especially on a slow upload connection.

The single YouTube plan is $29.99 USD for one video up to 5 hours in length. Direct upload is $39.99 USD for one file up to 7 GB, with the existing 1-hour analysis allowance. YouTube links are useful for long recordings or files larger than our direct-upload limit.

If the video is only on your device, uploading it to YouTube first still takes time, and YouTube must process it. That extra step may not be faster overall than a direct upload. Both options still need our analysis stage; a link does not guarantee faster AI results.

Use Public or Unlisted visibility; Private videos do not work. Unlisted videos can be watched and shared by anyone with the link. Choose direct upload if you prefer not to put your footage on YouTube.

Use these steps on a computer. Uploading to YouTube requires a Google account, even if you use our single-video service as a guest.

1. Export the recording from your camera or DVR to your computer. Choose MP4 if available and keep your original copy.
2. For recordings longer than 15 minutes, verify your YouTube account before uploading.
3. Sign in to YouTube Studio. Select Create → Upload videos and choose your recording.
4. Add a useful title, such as the camera name and recording date, and complete the requested video details.
5. Under Visibility, select Unlisted and save. Do not select Private: private videos cannot be analyzed through a link. Public videos also work.
6. Wait until YouTube finishes processing and the video plays. Copy the video link and check that it opens in a signed-out or incognito window.
7. Paste that link into Footage Find and add the video. Your plan’s duration and video allowances still apply. Once analysis finishes, ask your questions.

Unlisted is not private: anyone with the link can watch and share it. Only upload footage you are authorized to share. To avoid uploading to YouTube, use our direct video upload option instead (up to 7 GB).

The service supports recordings up to 7 hours long per video on subscription plans. The single YouTube plan includes up to 5 hours in length. The single upload plan accepts up to 7 GB and includes up to 1 hour of analysis; longer one-time analyses need an upfront upgrade quote. YouTube links are the simplest way to start. Video file uploads are also available, with a maximum file size of 7 GB. Duration and file size are separate limits: a 7-hour recording may exceed the upload limit depending on its quality and compression.

Videos are analyzed in the background. A queued video is waiting for a worker; processing includes fetching the video, sampling images, describing activity and indexing observations. Longer recordings and busy workers take more time. Analysis is not instant, and there is no fixed completion time. Check the source status; a failed source needs attention before it can be searched.

Try “When does the person wearing a red cap appear?”, “What happens near the entrance?” or “Summarize the activity in this video.” Clothing, location and a time range help narrow the search. Describe visible actions rather than assuming intent.

No. Visual activity analysis describes what is visible in sampled images, even for silent security footage. Speech is optional and off by default. Enable “Include speech” before adding a video if spoken content matters; available speaker features depend on the setup.

It is a saved timeline of visual observations: what people appear to be wearing and doing, with timestamps. Open the activity transcript from the results section, click a timestamp to review that moment, or download it as a PDF. Older videos may need to be analyzed again if they have no saved activity transcript.

Yes. Once your video has a saved activity transcript, click “Download PDF” next to the transcript button in the results section. You can also open the transcript and use the download button at the bottom of the popup. The PDF includes the timestamped activity text so you can keep a copy or share it with authorized people.

Chat uses the saved observations and search index created during ingestion. It does not watch the entire recording again for each question. If an event was missed during the original analysis, asking again cannot guarantee that it will be found.

Yes. Use the EN / ES language button to switch the interface and ask questions in Spanish or English. New replies follow the selected language. Changing the interface language does not rewrite existing replies or saved transcripts.

No. Analysis uses sampled images rather than every frame, and sampling limits apply to long recordings. Brief events, occluded people, small objects, poor lighting or low resolution can be missed. Cited times point to observed moments and are approximate. Always review the original footage before acting on a finding; no result does not prove that an event never happened.

Descriptions are based on visible appearance and activity, not verified identity. Similar clothing can make different people look alike, and appearance can be misread. Treat person descriptions, counts and action summaries as review aids, not proof of identity, intent or wrongdoing.

The service processes video and sends sampled images, and optional audio, to configured AI providers. It retains observations, thumbnails and search data; uploaded originals can also remain stored. Automatic deletion after one hour is not currently guaranteed. This deployment uses a shared workspace for approved accounts, not isolated private accounts. Only submit footage you are authorized to process and share with that workspace.
