Viewing when an object entered or exited a camera's field of view

To determine when an object of interest entered or exited a camera's field of view, you can use intelligent search in Security Center SaaS to investigate. The investigation details can then be reviewed and used to compile a timeline of events, including scene changes, entry and exit detections, and nearby activity.

1. In a video tile, go to a point of interest in the timeline.
2. Click Intelligent search().
   1. (Optional): Use video scrubbing to quickly preview the recording and locate relevant footage.
3. Click and draw a box around the vehicle or object of interest.
   The following example shows a vehicle of interest chosen for investigation.

4. Click Investigate changes to load the results matching the selected vehicle or object of interest.
   Important:

   The search results and sections displayed in the side pane change depending on the options you select and the thumbnails you review.
5. In the Entry and exit detections section, click the entry and exit thumbnails to watch the vehicle or object of interest enter or exit the scene.
   Tip:

   When using certain camera configuration settings, entry and exit detections can take up to 3 minutes to load. If the system did not automatically identify the right moment, you can manually override it by selecting Show more to browse earlier or later detections.
6. In the Nearby activity section, review the results to find people or vehicles that were observed in the vicinity when the object of interest was seen.
   1. Click Show more to expand the nearby activity section.
      From here, you can modify the detection types and time range to examine more matches.

      Note:

      If your vehicle or object of interest might have entered, exited, or interacted with other people or vehicles, consider selecting People and vehicles.
   2. In the side pane, select thumbnails of any potential matches to view in the video player.
