FAQPage Schema
How do I search archived video using VSS fusion?

Search archived video by routing queries through REST generate endpoints to a reachable VSS deployment. This applies VSS fusion search across stored footage and newly ingested sources to find relevant clips.

Can I ingest new RTSP streams for archived video search?

Yes, you can ingest new RTSP streams or video files into a VSS deployment for searchable embedding. This enables ongoing search and analysis across both newly ingested and archived video sources.

What do I need to set up before searching archived video with VSS?

Searching archived video requires a reachable VSS deployment, access to ingested video sources, and an agent backend configured to route queries through REST generate endpoints.

What is the best way to find relevant clips across stored video footage?

The best way to find relevant clips across stored footage is using VSS fusion search. It queries archived video sources via REST generate endpoints, returning matched segments for ongoing analysis.

Why does my VSS fusion search return no results from archived video?

VSS fusion search returns no results when the video sources have not been ingested properly or the agent backend cannot route queries to the VSS deployment. Reference workflows and troubleshooting materials are available in the references directory.

Does NVIDIA Video Search and Summarization work with Elasticsearch for archived video?

NVIDIA Video Search and Summarization uses VSS fusion to search archived video. The deployment requires access to ingested video sources and routes queries through REST generate endpoints to retrieve relevant footage.
