Hakimo, the pioneer in AI-powered physical security monitoring platforms, announces the launch of Forensic Search, a new capability that allows security teams to instantly search and investigate video footage using natural language without the need of any expensive server infrastructure.
With Forensic Search, users can simply type queries like “person in a red shirt,” “person opening car door,” or “red car in parking lot,” and retrieve relevant moments from hours, or even days of recorded footage in seconds. The feature also includes powerful filters for camera, location, and time range, enabling faster, more precise investigations.
Improving response outcomes
Traditionally, security teams spend countless hours manually scrubbing through video footage after an incident. Hakimo’s Forensic Search eliminates this bottleneck by combining computer vision, event detection, and semantic search, helping teams uncover critical evidence faster, reduce investigation time, and improve response outcomes.
“Security teams shouldn’t have to waste hours searching through video just to find one key moment,” expressed Sam Joseph, Co-founder and CEO of Hakimo. “With Forensic Search, we’re turning video into a searchable intelligence layer. Our goal is to help teams go from incident to insight in seconds, so they can focus on prevention, not playback.”
Streamlining security operations
Forensic Search is built to support property managers, auto dealerships, security teams, and law enforcement, empowering them to conduct faster investigations, improve accountability, and strengthen overall safety operations.
This launch builds on Hakimo’s broader mission to modernize physical security by building an AI-powered monitoring platform with an optional human-in-the-loop offering. This transforms standard cameras and other security sensors into intelligent, AI-driven systems that can detect threats, prevent incidents, and streamline security operations at scale.
