[VORTEX Portal] How to configure Deep Search function in the Portal

VORTEX Deep Search

Deep Search is a feature in VORTEX cameras that uses AI to enhance video searching. Instead of going through videos frame by frame, Deep Search sorts through metadata to quickly find specific scenes or attributes. This means you can easily locate moments with certain objects, like people or vehicles, using functions like Attribute Search, Scene Search, and Re-Search. In essence, it's a smarter, faster way to find exactly what you're looking for in your video recordings.
