Users Guide

Follow the steps below to have a working ForensiQ configuration with a query ready to run.

Make sure to have a working ForensiQ installation meeting all requirements.

Indexers

ForensiQ uses Indexers to process video files and extract metadata from them. This metadata is then used by Search Types to produce results based on queries for specific objects, people, or complex events in videos.

Depending on the installation type, you may have one or multiple Indexers available and listed here. For example, if you have a single-node installation, the Indexer is running on the same node as the ForensiQ server. In a multi-node installation, you can have multiple Indexers running on different nodes.

Refer to the installation guide for information on how to add Indexers.

Add Search Types

Search Types are the rulesets that take advantage of ForensiQ's video analytics capabilities to produce results based on queries for specific objects, people, or complex events such as tailgating or near-miss scenarios in videos.
