You\u2019re not alone \u2014 it\u2019s one of the biggest headaches in video surveillance security today. We\u2019ve heard this time and time again: \u201cSearching for a video incident takes too long and gives too many irrelevant results.\u201d So at Kastle, we fixed it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Introducing Kastle Appearance and Area Search<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With these new features in the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kastle.com\/solutions\/video-surveillance\/\"> KastleVideo\u00ae platform<\/a>, you can now search video footage across all of your cameras. See someone in one stream? Just click the snapshot, and Kastle finds every moment that person appears \u2014 across every camera and every site. No manual tagging. No expensive AI training. No wasted hours scrubbing through video.<\/p>\n<p>For example, imagine you spot a person loitering in a parking lot late at night. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kastle.com\/solutions\/video-surveillance\/intelligent-video-analytics\/\">With Video Appearance Search<\/a>, you can instantly trace their path across the whole property \u2014 finding every spot they appeared, every door they tried, and every interaction with other people \u2014 all with a single click.<\/p>\n<p>Have an incident in a busy, high-traffic area? No problem. Area Search lets you select the specific area within the camera view and see only events from that specific part of the frame without all the extra noise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCustomers have told us searching video after an incident often takes too long or produces too many irrelevant results. We\u2019ve focused on making it faster and more accurate \u2014 and without adding complexity,\u201d said Haniel Lynn, Kastle CEO.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You Get So Much More with Kastle\u2019s Video Search Engine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kastle\u2019s cloud-based video platform is built to help you stay one step ahead \u2014 making sure you have the information you need, when you need it. Here\u2019s a quick look at what\u2019s new:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Integrated Video + Access Control: <\/strong>Link video searches directly to access events (like door swipes) for deeper context and better incident review.<\/p>\n<p><strong>People Counting:<\/strong> Get counts of foot traffic and patterns using existing cameras \u2014 no new sensors required.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Space Incursion Alerts:<\/strong> Know instantly when someone enters a restricted area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Face and License Plate Recognition:<\/strong> Get crisp, actionable results in challenging environments \u2014 low light, harsh angles, and more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile new video analytics continue to flood the market, Kastle delivers the capabilities customers actually use every day \u2014 making investigations faster and more actionable,\u201d said Nik Gagvani, General Manager of Video Services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever had to search through hours of video footage to track down a person or a car?
