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