I built a tool that lets you search hours of video like a database
Hey Indie Hackers,
I’ve been working with long CCTV and security footage, and the worst part was always the same: scrubbing through hours of video just to find one moment.
So I built VideoSenseAI — a tool that analyzes long videos and turns them into searchable, structured data (people, objects, timestamps, events).
Instead of watching footage end-to-end, you can jump straight to:
- when a person appeared
- when a vehicle entered
- or any specific moment in seconds
This started as a personal pain point, but I realized it could help:
- security teams or drone teams
- content creators with large archives
- anyone dealing with long video libraries
I’m launching it today and would genuinely love feedback:
- Does this solve a problem you’ve had?
- Where does this break down?
- What would make it actually useful for you?
Happy to answer anything,
