AI surveillance feature
iFovea Color and Area Search turns your archived surveillance footage into an instantly searchable database. Instead of manually scrubbing through hours of recordings, you describe what you are looking for – a person in a red jacket, a vehicle near the east entrance between 2pm and 4pm – and iFovea returns matching clips in seconds.

Color Search
Search historical footage across all cameras by object color. Describe the clothing color, vehicle color, or object color you are looking for, and iFovea AI scans your entire archive to surface every matching appearance within the time range you specify.
- Search by clothing color: “Show all people wearing red jackets on Saturday”
- Search by vehicle color: “Find all dark-colored vehicles entering the parking lot between midnight and 6am”
- Multi-attribute search: Combine color with object type – “red jacket person near the east entrance after 8pm”
- Results include timestamp, camera, and preview thumbnail for fast review
Area Search
Define a specific region within any camera frame and search for every object that appeared in that zone during a time range. Draw a box around the cash register area, the server room door, or a specific product shelf – and instantly retrieve every person or object that appeared there.
- Zone-based footage retrieval without reviewing full-camera recordings
- Combines with color search – “red jacket person in Zone B between 3pm and 5pm on Friday”
- Forensic investigation tool: identify suspects, verify access, confirm incidents in minutes instead of hours
- Works across multiple cameras simultaneously – same search applied to all designated cameras at once
