2.2 Conducting Forensic Search in Eagle Eye “Video Search”

To find and share search results quickly, you can search video footage by description, similar to a web search (e.g., person wearing a blue shirt, gun, yellow car). You can also use recent or popular search requests.

Additionally, narrow down results by date, time, layout, location, bridge, tag, or camera to find specific videos or incidents. Choose a specific date and time to refine your search.

Video Search allows users to search for various objects and their attributes to quickly find the desired video.

Supported Objects and Attributes by EEN:

People
- Upper body clothing color (e.g., person in blue shirt)
- Lower body clothing color (e.g., person in black pants)
- Gender classification (e.g., male, female)
