Discover how March Networks AI Smart Search is revolutionising video surveillance with voice-activated, AI-driven searches that instantly pinpoint the moments that matter most.
In a world where businesses are inundated with hours of security footage and operational data, manually finding the critical moments that matter can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack. Traditional video search methods are not only time-consuming but also prone to human error. March Networks’ AI Smart Search has changed the game entirely, combining voice-activated commands, advanced AI algorithms, and natural language processing to deliver lightning-fast results.
With AI Smart Search, security and operations teams can search thousands of video images instantly, pinpoint incidents with precision, and streamline their workflows using intuitive voice or text commands. Whether you’re investigating a security breach, analysing operational inefficiencies, or identifying safety hazards, AI Smart Search empowers you to “find what matters, faster.
AI Smart Search is March Networks’ next-generation, generative AI-powered tool that transforms video snapshots from multiple cameras into a searchable database. Rather than manually scrubbing through hours of footage, users can issue commands like:
“Show me open cash registers.” or “Search for open backdoors at night.” or “Find empty shelves.”
These commands deliver instant, relevant image snapshots, dramatically reducing investigation times while enhancing compliance, loss prevention, and operational efficiency.
This revolutionary technology leverages natural language processing (NLP) to understand conversational commands, allowing both text and voice-activated searches. By removing the complexity from video search tasks, it enables security operators, retail managers, and compliance teams to quickly identify key events and take immediate action.
AI Smart Search operates using three streamlined steps:
You can even upload an image to initiate a visual match search, filter results by day, time, or camera location, and adjust sensitivity levels to refine accuracy.
Unlike traditional video analytics systems, AI Smart Search analyses snapshots at customisable intervals rather than full video footage, delivering exceptional efficiency while minimising data storage and processing requirements.
AI Smart Search isn’t just about security—it’s an operations and compliance powerhouse. Here are some of its most compelling use cases:
Retail Inventory & Stock Management
Retailers can quickly locate instances of empty shelves—such as a “donut rack” running low—by simply saying “Find empty donut shelves.” This allows managers to:
In warehouses or manufacturing environments, AI Smart Search proactively detects hazards like “wet floors” or “stacked boxes,” helping to:
For businesses handling cash or sensitive assets, AI Smart Search can instantly find “unattended cash on desks” or even identify “blurry images” to ensure high-quality footage for audits, investigations, and loss prevention efforts.
Traditional video systems record and store footage continuously, creating a massive backlog of data. AI Smart Search uses generative AI to transform snapshots into searchable visual data, drastically cutting storage requirements and delivering a cost-effective yet powerful AI solution for video surveillance.
By converting complex video footage into AI-ready visual data, this tool is ideal for businesses managing large-scale operations—where hours of footage would otherwise require intensive manual review.
“Show me long queue lines.”
Retail teams can instantly view and address bottlenecks, reallocating staff or opening new tills to improve throughput.
“Show me open back doors.”
Loss prevention and security staff can proactively spot compliance breaches, preventing potential theft or security breaches.
“Search for blurry images.”
IT and operations teams can quickly identify camera issues, ensuring footage is usable for audits or legal evidence.
These prompt-based commands are not only faster but remove the need for highly trained operators, allowing staff across departments to access actionable insights from surveillance data.
AI Smart Search integrates seamlessly with March Networks Command Enterprise and Searchlight Cloud platforms, enhancing broader enterprise video management systems with intelligent search capabilities.
It complements March Networks’ existing range of AI-enabled cameras (such as the AI4 IR Dome and AI4 IR DuraBullet), as well as the X-Series Recorders, which are purpose-built for AI-driven applications. Together, these tools provide:
This unified ecosystem is ideal for retail, finance, logistics, education, and manufacturing environments, where video analytics need to serve both security and operational efficiency.
The demands on security and compliance teams have never been greater. Traditional methods—manual video reviews, reactive investigations, and human-dependent audits—are no longer scalable for businesses operating across multiple sites or high-footfall environments.
AI Smart Search represents a paradigm shift. It turns video surveillance from a passive record-keeping tool into an active, AI-driven intelligence engine that supports:
In short, AI Smart Search is about more than just surveillance—it’s about empowering smarter, safer, and more agile businesses.
From voice-activated search commands to AI-powered operational insights, March Networks AI Smart Search is redefining how businesses interact with their surveillance data. It bridges the gap between security, compliance, and business intelligence, delivering real-world value far beyond traditional CCTV.
For organisations seeking to streamline workflows, reduce costs, and unlock actionable intelligence from their video data, AI Smart Search is not just an upgrade—it’s a revolution.
