Create a live search

1. Open EyesOnIt Monitoring and choose Search.
2. Select the cameras to watch. Leaving every camera unchecked uses all available cameras.
3. Choose Description, Face, Similarity, or PPE, then enter the corresponding criteria.
4. Set Duration (minutes) and, when offered, Alert Threshold.
5. Review Event. Leave event delivery off for an initial test.
6. Choose Start live search and check the status in Manage.

Use the campus description, Campus demo — Alex, a blue-backpack reference image, or the missing-gloves condition for the matching examples. Cameras need available video and the appropriate EyesOnIt processing for the selected search kind.

Move between archive and live investigation

In EyesOnIt Investigation, Convert to Live Monitoring can immediately start a watch when the models are ready. Find this person live beneath a candidate is also a live execution action.

Use Convert to Investigation from the Monitoring search editor to continue with an archive investigation. Review the time period for the archive query. Search video explains the result and playback workflow.

A temporary live search has its own lifecycle and event options. The saved camera’s alert rules remain a separate configuration.
