i‑PRO Active Guard enables flexible video search by simply entering words, keywords, or short sentences.

For example, you can enter terms such as “wheelchair,” “Forklift,” or “person holding a gun” to quickly find the video you are looking for.

This lets you search video more easily and flexibly compared to traditional rule-based filtering.
