Overview
With Smart Search, you can search recordings for specific actions and behaviors such as movement, missing or foreign objects, camera occlusion, focus lost, and no-idle zone. Once you have set up the search criteria, Smart Search will search through the specified recordings and automatically identify any matching recordings for you to view or download.
Note:
This function is only available on Synology Surveillance Station Client desktop client.
1. Choose Recordings to Analyze
- Open the Smart Search application, select a camera under the Source section on the left panel, and then select a date from the drop-down menu below (dates that contain recordings from the camera will be marked in blue). After selecting the date, the time segment(s) that contains the video will be marked on the vertical timeline bar, and the corresponding video will be displayed on the right.
- You can move the timeline cursor or use the settings in the Seek section on the left panel to quickly move the cursor to a specific time. You can also view a snapshot of the recording that occurred at that time on the right side of the window.
2. Set up Video Analytics Parameters
- Choose a video analysis algorithm and set up the corresponding parameters in the Configure section on the left panel. If you select the Motion detection, Missing object or Foreign object algorithm, you will need to use the buttons in the Detection Zone section to select the areas of the video you want to analyze.
3. Start Analysis
- After completing the steps in the previous sections, you can click the play icon at the bottom of the video player to start video analysis.
- When detecting events, the analysis results will be displayed in the Result List section on the right side of the window. You can click the list icon on the lower right corner to expand the list of results.
- You can click the video thumbnails in the Result List section to play the clips of the detected events. You can also select a video and click the download icon below the Results List section to save the event clip to the local storage. If you want to prevent the event from being rotated by the system or mistakenly deleted by users, you can click the lock icon to lock the original video file.
