Review faster

Eliminate hours of manual review by transforming your video footage into a searchable database. Axis analytics use deep-learning-based AI to generate rich metadata – or descriptions – of what’s happening in a scene, so you can find what you’re looking for, fast.

Accelerated investigations

Metadata is the foundation for gathering intelligence from video, giving digital meaning to content by describing key scene details. Compared with traditional analytics, AI-based analytics deliver more detailed scene metadata, helping you to:

Reduce resolution time: Easily find key objects and events, cutting down review time and freeing up personnel for other tasks.
Narrow your focus: Conduct more granular searches for specific areas of interest.
Improve discovery: Reduce risk of human error or oversight and ensure key moments aren’t missed.
