Dashcam Finder — CCTV and Video Search Preview

Pre-release preview

Looking for one moment in a long recording? Dashcam Finder by JM Soft is a Windows desktop app for searching supported CCTV, security-camera, dashcam and other authorized video recordings. Describe a scene in English and jump to candidate timestamps for review.

What can you search for?

Review recorded CCTV and security footage, traffic recordings, workplace or shop recordings, travel footage, and other supported videos you have permission to process. Describe what you remember in English, or use a face-free object reference image to look for similar scenes. Open the original footage to check each suggestion.

  • Objects and vehicles. Look for a traffic sign, motorcycle, bicycle, helmet, bag, or other visible object.
  • Clothing, actions, and direction. Describe a scene such as “a person with a red backpack walking to the right” to find moments worth reviewing.
  • Similar objects from an image. Select a face-free crop of clothing, a bag, or a vehicle to look for visually similar scenes.
  • Vehicle model candidates. Select a vehicle in a frame and choose a manufacturer to compare possible models, as shown in the Nissan Leaf demo.

Open a suggested timestamp and play the original footage to verify what you found. Results are candidates for review, and small, blurred, or partly hidden details can be missed.

Find a small road sign in 30 minutes of footage

Actual Windows app recording, edited for length. On this PC, the 30-minute test file took 145.21 seconds to analyse at 1 frame per second, or 189.46 seconds including first-use preparation. The first similarity suggestions appeared 2.90 seconds after starting the search on the analysed video. Optional detailed checks are separate. Open the top suggestion at 17:17 and watch the small yellow signs pass in the original footage.

The test input combines two public clips. Footage shown: Car Driving Faadou by CAN Driver (CC BY 3.0). The test input also includes a short excerpt from Dashcam film by Frukko.

Compare model candidates for a small vehicle

The original clip identifies the blue car as a Nissan Leaf. In the app, we selected a small vehicle crop from an extracted frame and chose Nissan as the make. The app ranked Leaf first and flagged the small crop for manual verification. This workflow compares the selected crop with model names.
