Type "a man in a red hoodie near the loading dock" and get the clip, instantly. Alocity AI Video now brings natural-language video search to every site you manage, so investigators no longer scrub hours of footage camera by camera.
From attribute filters to plain language
Alocity already offered AI attribute search to find footage in minutes, not hours. Natural-language search goes further. Describe a person, vehicle, color, object or location in your own words, and AI Video returns matching clips ranked by relevance. It reflects a broader industry shift toward vision-language models and video analytics AI agents that understand scenes, not just motion.
Built for multi-site operations
- One search, every location: query archives across all properties from a single dashboard.
- Role-based access: results respect each user's site and camera permissions.
- Share in seconds: send clips to police, insurers or managers by text or email.
- Works with existing cameras: pairs with AIVR edge recorders on any IP camera.
Who benefits
Multifamily operators, retailers, schools and logistics sites with dozens of cameras see the biggest gains, because the more cameras and locations there are, the more time a single plain-language question saves. The same natural-language engine powers Aimee, Alocity's AI operator, so teams can ask for footage the same way they ask for everything else.
