Plain-language investigation needs broader retrieval without burying reviewers in weak matches.
Security managers need faster paths to relevant footage, while investigation results must remain reviewable and trustworthy.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I know what I’m looking for, but I’m still scrubbing through cameras while everyone waits for an answer.”
Mao He · Security Manager
Oversees incident investigations across a multi-site institution using camera footage.
What is at stake
Security managers are manually reviewing footage when existing filters cannot express what they saw. You must weigh broader retrieval against the time and trust lost to weak results.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- broad retrieval vs reviewer confidence
- semantic relevance vs search latency
- pilot learning vs established search reliability
- model scores vs human investigation judgment
Why Verkada
Camera search across billions of frames determines whether distributed security managers can turn captured video into usable investigation evidence.
