Beginning in version 22.12, Orchid Fusion VMS supports the new Smart Search feature. This feature allows you to select one or more specific areas of a Player to monitor for motion. These targeted motion events will appear in purple at the top of the Timeline Bar so they are easy to identify.

*You must have access to live and recorded video in order to use the Smart Search feature.

*Smart Search will be enabled on all new Fusion installations. If you have upgraded to Fusion version 22.12, Smart Search will be disabled by default. (Your Administrator will need to evaluate and enable the use of the Smart Search feature.)

*Due to the variability of the video image that comes with PTZ cameras and Dewarping, you will need to keep a couple of things in mind. (1) Since a PTZ camera won’t always be in the same position, Smart Search may not always be monitoring the viewing area you initially selected. (2) You may use Smart Search with Dewarping, but you may only edit the motion filter regions when Dewarping is off.

1. To begin using Smart Search, position the mouse over the Player; this will activate the Smart Search icon.

2. Click on the Smart Search icon (in the lower-right corner of the Player). This will initiate edit mode (which provides you with some instructions).

3. Now use your mouse to click and drag a rectangle around the area you want the system to monitor for motion. (You may add more motion filter regions, if needed.)
   1. You can adjust the size/shape of the region by clicking and dragging any of the sides and corners.
   2. Notice that the Smart Search icon will indicate how many regions you have added to the Player.
   3. Click the X icon to remove an individual motion filter region.
   4. Click the Delete icon to remove all of the motion filter regions from this Player.

4. When you are done adding motion filter regions, click on the Smart Search icon to close editing mode. The Smart Search icon will return to white and will indicate how many motion filter regions have been set up (if any).

*The Smart Search settings are tied to the Player and its current instance on the Stage. These settings will be deleted automatically if you leave the Stage for any reason, or if you reload the browser page.

The Smart Search motion events will appear in purple on the Timeline Bar. Refer to the About Motion Events section for additional details.
