Two Powerful Search Methods – Combining Metadata and AI

G-Insights offers two complementary search methods. Users can search both traditional camera metadata and utilize modern AI-powered similarity search. This enables flexible and efficient investigation of persons and vehicles.

Metadata Search

Metadata search uses information provided by cameras, such as object classes, vehicle types, colors, and other camera-specific attributes. This allows relevant objects to be filtered and identified quickly. The quality and scope of search results depend directly on the metadata available from the deployed camera systems.

AI-Powered Similarity Search

AI-powered similarity search enables investigations based on a reference image or a free-text description. To achieve this, G-Insights generates semantic embeddings from detected objects and identifies visually similar persons or vehicles across all connected cameras.

The Basis of AI Search: BestShot Images

AI-powered similarity search uses so-called BestShot images. Only images in which cameras have actually detected persons or vehicles and for which a BestShot has been generated are available for AI-based search. Therefore, the performance and reach of AI search depend directly on the quality of the object detection in the camera. List of compatible camera models…

Maximum Flexibility for Different Use Cases

While metadata search is particularly effective for structured search queries, AI-powered similarity search enables investigations of persons and vehicles using enriched detailed descriptions. The combination of both methods delivers the best results for forensic investigations and complex searches.

Seamless Integration into G-SIM

G-Insights can be integrated directly into existing G-SIM installations. Security operators can start forensic investigations directly from the Operator Console and automatically transfer search parameters such as camera, timestamp, or selected image regions to G-Insights. Search results are displayed within the familiar working environment and perfectly complement the powerful playback and management functions of G-SIM.

Securely Designed – Privacy-Compliant by Design

G-Insights has been developed according to the principle of “Data Privacy by Design” and supports operators in complying with GDPR and the EU AI Act. The solution operates completely on-premise, does not store raw video data in its search databases, and provides role-based access control down to camera level. Configurable retention periods, automatic data deletion, encrypted communication, and comprehensive compliance mechanisms ensure the responsible and transparent use of AI in security-critical environments.

Data Flow from cameras to G-Insights

1. Cameras generate video streams and metadata.

2. Our proprietary algorithm determines the BestShot image of an object (person or vehicle).

3. Relevant information is transferred to G-Insights.

4. AI models generate semantic embeddings for similarity search.

5. Metadata, images, and embeddings are stored in an optimized manner.

6. Users conduct investigations using metadata search and AI search.

7. Matching video sequences are provided directly from G-Core in the G-Insights video player.

Installation Options

Option 1: G-Core and G-Insights run on the same server (for small installations).

Option 2: G-Insights is installed on a dedicated server for optimal performance.

Performance & Scalability

System capacity is determined by the actual data rate (BestShots per minute) rather than solely by the number of cameras.

Low-Rate Environments

Typical areas with low pedestrian or vehicle traffic.

  • Up to 100 channels
  • Full use of all G-Insights features

Medium-Rate Environments

Typical areas with medium traffic volume.

  • Up to 50 channels for metadata search
  • Up to 30 channels for AI-powered similarity search

System Integration

  • Up to 20 connected G-Core systems per G-Insights instance

AI Storage Capacity

  • Up to 36,000 BestShots per hour across all AI search channels

System Requirements

The platform requires a G-ST3000+ G3 server and is supported exclusively as an on-premise solution.
For optimal performance, an NVMe SSD with at least 4 TB is recommended.
When using AI-powered similarity search, an NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell graphics card is mandatory.
A minimum of 32 GB RAM is required.
