Smart search in recordings with AI

• Searching for images in Axis Camera Station Pro just got a lot faster with the new Smart Search.
• You can easily search for people or vehicles, and even use free text such as ''person in red coat''.

Smart features at no extra cost

Smart Search is included in Axis Camera Station Pro and works with most Axis cameras. Users can search for people or vehicles based on color, direction, or type. Searches can be performed directly from the web client, giving operators full access anytime, anywhere. This makes Smart Search an accessible and valuable tool for organizations aiming to optimize their video management.

AI-assisted object recognition

The feature uses an AI model developed by Axis, trained on billions of image-text pairs. As a result, the system recognizes not only predefined objects but also understands complex natural-language queries. Operators can search for “a person wearing a red jacket” or “a van leaving the site” and instantly view relevant thumbnail results.

Forensic search with free text

Beyond predefined object categories, Smart Search supports free-text search for added flexibility. Users can describe objects or scenarios in their own words, such as “people carrying blue backpacks” or “bicycles on the sidewalk.” This allows efficient investigation of events across various environments—from logistics operations to retail security.

Efficient and responsible use

Smart Search delivers the best performance with newer Axis cameras featuring edge-based object classification. Additional filters—time, area, or direction—help refine results further. Axis ensures responsible use of AI with built-in moderation and logging tools that prevent misuse, combining advanced technology with ethical video management.
