Stop Scrubbing Through Hours of Footage

Security video investigations can involve hours of footage, multiple camera exports, and repeated manual review. ThreatSight gives investigators a dedicated desktop workflow for organizing footage into cases, focusing analysis on areas of interest, detecting activity, and returning to important frames without reprocessing the same video again.

It is designed for downloaded or exported footage from security systems and network video recorders, with a workflow that keeps video files, events, notes, thumbnails, and analysis settings together in a persistent project.

Review Hours of Footage Faster

Use motion, adaptive motion, and AI object detection analytics to surface frames that deserve attention. The hot frames graph gives investigators a visual map of activity across the entire video so they can move from event to event instead of scrubbing blindly.

Keep Every Case Organized

Create project files for investigations, add multiple videos, organize cameras into views, and save detected events for later re-review. Projects reopen with event data, thumbnails, notes, flags, and reviewed status intact.

Focus Analysis Where It Matters

Draw one or more areas of interest directly over the video. ThreatSight can generate mask files from polygons so analytics concentrate on doors, parking spaces, counters, entryways, or other relevant zones.

From Exported Video to Reviewed Events

1. Create a case project.

2. Add local video files or import footage from an NVR.

3. Draw areas of interest when only specific regions matter.

4. Select analytics and adjust detection settings.

5. Run analysis across one or more videos.

6. Review event thumbnails, timestamps, confidence values, and notes.

7. Jump from the event list or hot frames graph directly to relevant frames.

8. Flag, mark reviewed, and save the project for later re-review.

9. Enhance still frames when a clearer image is needed for documentation.

Case-Based Project Management

ThreatSight organizes forensic video work into project files so each investigation can be saved, reopened, and reviewed again without starting over.

New, open, save, save-as, and recent project workflows
Drag-and-drop video import
Multi-video selection for analysis jobs
Project tree with videos, views, event counts, and analysis status
Persistent project files with videos, polygons, analytics configuration, and events
Auto-save and backup support

Multi-Format Video Playback

Review exported footage in a flexible frame-based desktop video player. ThreatSight supports frame-level navigation, variable playback speed, reverse playback, loop mode, and keyboard shortcuts for fast review.

Video loading and frame extraction
Aspect-ratio preserving playback
Play, pause, stop, previous frame, and next frame controls
Reverse playback and loop mode
Speed options from slow review to fast scanning
Seek slider, frame number entry, and current time display

Analytics Built for Review Workflows

ThreatSight connects the desktop review experience to the BraveWatch analytics pipeline. Investigators can enable multiple analytics, adjust properties, and run analysis against one or more selected videos.

Supported analytics:

Motion Detection
Adaptive Motion
Adaptive MOG background subtraction
State of the Art RF-DETR Object Detection

Checkbox-based analytic selection with per-analytic configuration panel
Threshold, scale, history, class, model, and sampling controls where applicable
Sequential multi-video analysis queue with progress dialog and per-video status
Live event markers added during analysis, with stop/cancel support

Area-of-Interest Analysis

ThreatSight lets users draw polygons over video frames to define where analytics should focus. This is useful when the question is narrow, such as movement through a doorway, activity near a vehicle, or objects appearing in a restricted area.

Left-click polygon vertex placement, right-click polygon completion
Multiple named areas per video
Rename and delete area definitions
Color-coded polygons with selected-area highlighting
Mask image generation for analysis

Hot Frames Graph

The hot frames graph turns event review into timeline navigation. Processed frames, unprocessed frames, current position, and detected events are color-coded so investigators can see where activity happened across the footage.

Timeline overview of the entire video
Red markers for detected events
Gray processed segments and black unprocessed segments during analysis
Click-to-seek frame navigation
Mouse wheel zoom and drag-to-pan support
Minimap-style viewport indicator when zoomed
Frame tooltips on hover

Event Review and Notes

Detected events are saved as reviewable items with thumbnails, timestamps, frame numbers, event types, and confidence values. Investigators can sort and filter events, search notes, flag important moments, and mark reviewed items as complete.

Thumbnail event list
Filter by event type
Search event type, subtype, and notes
Sort by frame, time, confidence, or type
Add investigator notes
Flag events for follow-up and mark events as reviewed
Event counts for total, flagged, and reviewed items

ThreatSight events pane with thumbnails, confidence values, flagged and reviewed events, and notes

NVR Import

ThreatSight supports importing footage from recorder systems and cameras so investigators can start from the source system, choose exactly the footage they need, and bring the exported files into a case project.

Supported workflows: Nx Witness / Hanwha Wave, Hikvision, and Axis Camera.

NVR type selection with server, username, password, and SSL verification settings
Camera list loading with select all / select none controls
Start and end date/time selection and destination folder selection
Export progress tracking
Imported video files added to the active project

Image Enhancement

ThreatSight includes a still-frame enhancement workflow for cases where investigators need a cleaner image from video. Users can select a region of interest, stack nearby frames, apply optional super-resolution, and export the enhanced result.

Interactive region-of-interest selection with zoom and pan preview
Median, mean, weighted center, sigma clipping, max, and min stacking methods
Optional frame alignment
Classical interpolation and DNN-based super-resolution options
Denoise and sharpen controls
PNG, JPEG, TIFF, and WebP export options
Optional watermark and metadata sidecar support
