To create and send a video archive search request (By captions mode), you must do the following:

  1. Ensure that the Search in archive component is displayed.
  2. Select an object as follows:
    1. Click in the Object name group.
    2. Select the object in the Object selection box.
    3. For quick search by object identification number, set the switch in the bottom of the box to ID and enter the number in the Quick search field. The match, if found, is displayed in the Quick search field while the corresponding object is automatically selected in the list.
    4. For quick search by object name, set the switch in the bottom of the box to Name and enter part or full name in the Quick search field. The match, if found, is displayed in the Quick search field while the corresponding object is automatically selected in the list.
  3. Create a search query for the archive, using the following parameters:
    1. Set date and time of search period beginning in the Period from: field.
    2. Set date and time of search period ending in the to: field.
    3. Set the switch into By captions position.

    4. Specify any keyword (available only in By captions mode).

      If ATM-Intellect Pro software is installed with Intellect 4.10.0 or later versions, it is possible to use the * symbol  while searching by titles to search for any number of any characters. Example:

      card* -> search results will include captions containing words “card”, “card-reader” etc.

      card -> search results will include only captions containing word “card”.

      If ATM-Intellect Pro software is installed with Intellect 4.9.8 or previous versions, each word is implicitly framed in *. Example:

      card -> search results will include captions containing words “card”, “card-reader” etc.


  4. Search timeout is specified in the Data receive timeout (min) list.

  5. Select an object in the object description list and click the Search button.

    You can stop searching at any time, by clicking the Cancel button.


  6. If search is successful, the archive results are shown as a list of entries. Only 500 results can be displayed.
These data are taken from the Intellect database at the object. Data retention time is configured in the Programming tab, in the Security zone object settings panel, under the Events archive length option (measured in days).
