Smart Motion Search

What is Smart Motion Search?

Smart Motion Search is the fastest way to search for video events using Nx Witness' motion detection feature. Smart Motion Search only works on cameras that have motion detection enabled and configured.

Server requires camera secondary stream to have resolution 1024x768 or lower. In a default situation when Media Server is allowed to optimize cameras settings and stream parameters are not manually modified at the "Advanced" tab Motion Detection will be enabled for all cameras with multi-streaming support.

Smart Motion Search can analyze a year's worth of recorded motion data in 5 seconds.
