OpenEye adds AI visual search, alerting tools to OWS platform

LIBERTY LAKE, Wash.—OpenEye has expanded its OpenEye Web Services (OWS) platform with new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered capabilities designed to help enterprise customers improve operations and security through automated video analysis and natural-language search.

The company announced the addition of AI Visual Search and AI Visual Check, two new features within its OWS AI Analytics suite that enable users to quickly locate video footage and automate operational monitoring across multiple locations.

According to OpenEye, AI Visual Search allows users to find specific moments in recorded video by entering natural-language descriptions. Instead of manually reviewing footage, users can search using prompts such as descriptions of people, vehicles or activities and receive relevant video results within seconds.

The company said the feature is designed to accelerate investigations, reduce incident response times and simplify video searches for operators who may not have extensive experience with video management systems.

AI Visual Check focuses on automating visual verification tasks and operational oversight. The feature can monitor for conditions such as blocked fire exits, out-of-stock shelves or unattended security posts and generate alerts when issues are detected.

OpenEye said the tool is intended to help organizations reduce reliance on manual inspections and walkthroughs while improving compliance, safety and operational consistency across distributed locations.

The company also said AI Visual Check can aggregate results over time, giving organizations data that can be used to identify recurring issues, validate operational standards and support business decision-making.

“These AI-powered capabilities mark a significant step forward in transforming video into a source of actionable intelligence for our customers, going beyond traditional security,” said Rick Sheppard, founder and CEO of OpenEye. “With natural language search and automated alerts on visual changes, we’re saving businesses time and eliminating manual effort with trusted, proactive solutions that help our customers operate more effectively every day.”
