How to set up AI Observer
The AI Observer — sometimes called the “detector of everything” — is a new kind of detector in the Xeoma video surveillance software, powered by vision-language AI models. Rather than looking for one preset thing, it can recognize almost any object or event you can name. There is no need to set up a separate detector for each case: describe in plain words what you want it to catch, and the module watches the frame for it, triggering your chosen reaction the moment it finds a match. It can look out for “a person in a blue cap”, “a burglar”, or “cargo — sand”, to name a few.
Our video on this module walks through setting up the AI Observer and shows it at work.
