The problem

Video is powerful — but impossible to search manually.

Teams have hours of footage in drives, cameras, meetings, and field recordings. Finding a specific moment still means scrubbing timelines, while sending sensitive video to a cloud service may not be acceptable.

Endless timeline scrubbing

Finding one moment in a long recording can take minutes — or hours.

← drag · 02:18:42

Lost spoken information

Important phrases, names, decisions, and quotes stay buried in audio.

“…we agreed on the new pricing…”

Footage that cannot leave site

Sensitive recordings and camera feeds are hard to analyze when cloud upload is not an option.

The solution

Search videos by what appears on screen — or what was said.

VidScanner indexes video locally. Search what appears in a scene or what was said, then review the matching moment without transferring the footage to our cloud.

Visual Search

Search what you see.

Find scenes by describing objects, people, actions, settings, colors, or visual moments.

How it works

From local footage to searchable moments.

01

Install and connect sources

Run the stack on your own hardware, then add local video files or connect supported cameras.

02

VidScanner indexes the content

Local models sample frames, index scenes, and transcribe speech without sending footage to VidScanner.

03

Search naturally

Type what you're looking for — whether it's something visible or something spoken.

04

Jump to the exact timestamp

Open a result and land directly on the matching video moment, ready to watch or save.
