DeepVision - Semantic Search
Find anyone or anything on your footage in seconds, not hours.
DeepVision is the first NVR platform from LTS with true Semantic Search. Describe what you're looking for in plain English, and it finds every matching moment across your site — automatically.
Search by description
Not hours of manual scrubbing
Direct-Search 3.0 built in
Track a target across every camera
Facial Recognition included
Screen visitors automatically
AI that actually understands what's in the frame.
Most NVRs record video. DeepVision reads it. Every DeepVision NVR runs on a large multimodal model — the same category of AI behind modern image-and-text search — that maps what's on screen and what you type into one shared space. That's what makes it possible to search footage the way you'd search the web.
It's a different starting point than traditional motion-triggered CCTV search. Instead of tagging a handful of pre-set events, DeepVision builds a searchable understanding of everything the camera sees — so a query like "silver car" or "man in a blue jacket" returns real matches, not a wall of motion clips to scrub through by hand.
From a few words to the exact clip.
Semantic Search runs in two stages: your DeepVision NVR builds an index in the background while it records, then your search runs against that index instead of the raw video.
Every frame gets read
DeepVision-enabled cameras and the NVR's multimodal model process each frame as it records — people, vehicles, objects and scene context.
Mapped to one shared space
Images and text are embedded into the same vector space, so a written description and a video frame can be compared directly.
Indexed with your footage
The searchable index sits alongside your recordings — nothing needs to be re-analysed later, even weeks after the fact.
Type it, find it
Type a description or select a target, adjust the similarity score, and DeepVision returns a ranked grid of matching moments.
Direct-Search and Facial Recognition solve different problems.
DeepVision NVRs ship with both features built in — here's how to know which mode fits the job in front of you.
Good to know before you spec a job: Facial Recognition and Direct-Search cannot run simultaneously on the same DeepVision NVR. Both also require compatible AI Color 24/7 or Color 24/7 cameras — standard cameras will still record, just without AI search results.
Direct-Search 3.0
- Matches on the metadata your cameras already capture — clothing, vehicle type, general attributes
- Works from a side angle, from behind, or at a distance
- No enrolment or face database required
- Built for tracing a target's movement across an entire site
Facial Recognition
- Matches against your own permitted & blocked lists of enrolled faces
- Needs a clear, front-on view of the face
- Best for access screening and VIP / blocked-list alerts
- Runs across every channel at once to flag watch-list matches instantly
DeepVision is built into the Platinum Plus range.
Three things need to line up for it to work end to end:
A DeepVision NVR
Look for "DeepVision, MD2.0, Facial Recognition, Direct-Search" on the spec sheet — standard across the 8, 16 & 32-channel Platinum Plus range.
Compatible cameras
AI Color 24/7 or Color 24/7 cameras generate the metadata Semantic Search and Direct-Search rely on. Other cameras still record fine, just without AI search results.
The DeepVision interface
Semantic Search, Direct-Search and Facial Recognition are all run and configured from the same NVR interface — no separate software or subscription.
Two new DeepVision NVRs, one full feature set.
Both ship with the complete DeepVision stack — Semantic Search, Direct-Search 3.0, Facial Recognition and MD2.0 — so scaling up channels doesn't mean scaling down intelligence.
16ch NVR 16x PoE 4K
2 SATA bays up to 20TB each · DeepVision built in
32ch NVR 16x PoE
4 SATA bays up to 20TB each · DeepVision built in
Built for the sites where footage review actually eats your day.
Retail & loss prevention
Describe a shoplifter on one camera, then find every other aisle and entry they walked through in seconds.
Shopping centres & malls
Quickly trace a lost child, a person of interest, or an incident across dozens of cameras at once.
Warehouses & logistics
Follow a forklift, truck or delivery vehicle's full route through the yard without switching cameras by hand.
Schools, campuses & access control
Screen visitors against permitted and blocked lists automatically, and locate a person of interest across a large site fast.
Set up is quick once you have the right hardware.
Check your NVR supports it
Confirm "DeepVision" appears on your model's spec sheet — standard on the 8, 16 & 32-channel Platinum Plus DeepVision NVRs.
Confirm a compatible camera is connected
At least one AI Color 24/7 or Color 24/7 camera needs to be on the channel you want to search.
Choose your mode
Turn on Semantic Search, Direct-Search or Facial Recognition in the NVR's system settings — remember, Facial Recognition and Direct-Search can't run together.
Search from Playback or the search bar
Type a description, or draw a box around your target, set filters, choose a time range, then search.
