01
Source Video Manager
Add folders and select one or several recordings. Saved inventories show processing status, settings, event counts and report locations. Use Scan Folder to update the saved file list.
Windows desktop application
Security Video Inspector
Find motion, audio peaks and recording problems in local surveillance footage. Inspect individual recordings or a batch, then review the combined activity timeline against the original video.
Runs on your computer without uploading your footage. Start with a 14-day trial, then choose $9.99 USD/month or $99 USD/year, plus applicable tax.
Source Video Manager → Inspect → A/V Review
Source Video Manager saves your folder list and inspection results so you can return to them later.
02
Inspect
Set sampling and sensitivity. Choose focus or ignore areas, visible-clock checks, audio analysis and optional clips. Follow progress, elapsed time and the remaining-time estimate.
03
A/V Review
Open a result or review an entire completed batch as one continuous session. Seek to events and activity peaks while each recording remains identified on the combined timeline.
Completed inspections update the inventory automatically. Open a saved result, inspect selected files, or use a managed folder in Inspect.
Video and audio checks
Choose the checks you need for each recording. Results include event times and details for review.
Motion & activity
Measures changes between sampled frames and marks motion intervals. Recorded motion regions can be displayed as boxes during playback.
Dark or black video
Marks unusually dark sections of a recording. These can result from poor lighting, an obstruction or recording conditions.
Frozen frames & scene changes
Repeated visual content and abrupt image changes. A still scene or a camera movement can also trigger these checks.
Visible-clock discrepancies
Reads an on-screen clock with local RapidOCR and checks for jumps or repeated times. Detect the clock area from the first frame or select it manually.
Audio activity
Audio levels, peaks and review points when audio analysis is enabled and FFmpeg/FFprobe are available. It does not transcribe speech.
Warnings & file details
Review source dimensions, duration, processing settings, skipped checks and verification messages in the saved HTML and JSON reports.
Focus and ignore areas
Limit analysis to the parts of the camera frame that matter, or exclude areas that create unwanted activity.
Click around the part of the frame that matters.
Drag individual handles to change the shape and size.
Use multiple polygon or rectangular focus and ignore areas.
Focus areas limit analysis to selected parts of the frame. Ignore areas exclude selected parts. Both support adjustable rectangles and freeform polygons.
A/V Review
Click an event or activity peak to seek to that point, then play the surrounding footage.
Batch review Multiple recordings can be batched, inspected and reviewed as one continuous session. The timeline preserves recording boundaries and lets you jump directly between source videos.
Find what matters Adjust video and audio sensitivities independently during playback to include or exclude motion and audio from navigation and the event display. These display controls do not re-analyze the recording or alter saved results.
Playback and notes Zoom, pan, rotate or pop out the video. Bookmark recordings and set multiple review points so you can return to exact positions.
Clips and reports Mark a section and save it as a new MP4 file up to three minutes long. JSON and offline HTML reports retain events, warnings and inspection settings. Audio analysis and clip exports use external FFmpeg tools.
Timeline appearance Motion markers match the video graph, audio markers match the audio graph, and forward clock jumps are wider red markers. A dedicated appearance screen controls graph colors, event colors and line widths.
Compare multiple recordings
Compare recordings in synchronized pairs with shared playback and frame steps. Adjust Video B’s offset and save each comparison session for later.
Choose any two recordings for a session, align them with the signed offset, and use drift controls or Resynchronize to maintain playback alignment. Camera clocks may still show different times.
View and inspect a live camera stream
Connect directly to a compatible RTSP camera on your network, watch the live feed and run a time-bounded motion inspection without importing a recording first.
Direct viewing Enter the camera address, RTSP port, stream and camera credentials, then test the connection and view the feed inside Security Video Inspector.
Saved camera profiles Save a camera profile for reuse. Saved credentials are encrypted for your Windows account; otherwise they remain in memory for the current session.
Automatic reconnect Keep the reconnect option enabled when you want the viewer to retry after a dropped stream.
Bounded inspection Choose a duration, motion threshold and output folder, then create a focused report from the live feed. Reports contain motion measurements, not passwords or recordings stored on the camera.
Supported files
The current desktop file picker recognizes MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, M4V, WMV, WebM, TS, MTS, M2TS, MPG, MPEG, 3GP and 3G2 source files.
MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio is covered by the desktop release tests. 3GP and 3G2 coverage includes H.263 with AMR-NB, H.264 with AAC, and MPEG-4 with AMR-WB. Playback and analysis still depend on the codecs inside the file, not just its extension.
Use a standard export from the camera or recorder. Proprietary, encrypted or damaged recordings may need the manufacturer's export tools.
Desktop pricing
$9.99 USD/month or $99 USD/year, plus applicable tax. Review the monthly and yearly plans on the Security Video Inspector pricing page. Stripe calculates applicable tax and shows the total before payment.
