01
24/7 recording is a haystack you built yourself.
A week of continuous recording across three cameras is hundreds of gigabytes. Finding a 20-second clip means scrubbing in the dark.
03 · SECURITY & CCTV
When something happens, you have an hour — not a day.
A package goes missing. A car circles the block. Police or insurance need footage by tomorrow. Scenelet lets you describe the moment instead of scrubbing 24 hours of recording.
THE PROBLEM
Home and small-business CCTV systems record everything. The problem starts when you actually need a specific moment back.
02
Motion alerts cried wolf so often you stopped looking.
Cats, branches, headlight glare. After enough false positives, the alert log is just noise — and the one that mattered is buried in it.
03
You need the clip today, not next week.
Police, insurance, your HOA, a landlord. When someone formally asks for footage, "I will get back to you when I find it" is not an answer.
WHY THE OLD WAY DOESN'T WORK
The standard tooling shipped with most camera systems was not designed for retrospective search.
- Built-in event timelines only show what the motion detector flagged — which misses anything subtle and over-reports anything windy.
- Cloud-based "smart search" subscriptions stream your home footage off-site, which many households are not comfortable with.
- Manual scrubbing is the fallback, and it scales linearly with how much footage you have — exactly the wrong direction.
HOW SCENELET HANDLES IT
Point Scenelet at the folder your cameras already write to. It indexes overnight. When something happens, you describe it.

What Scenelet finds
Every overnight clip from every camera where someone in a red jacket appears near the gate — ranked by how confident the match is.

What Scenelet finds
Drive-by and parked deliveries across the past week, useful when something arrived but never reached the door.

What Scenelet finds
Every moment a parcel was dropped off, so you can match it against what should have arrived.

IN PRACTICE
Your cameras already record everything. The point of Scenelet is to make any specific moment retrievable on demand — without sending a single frame off your machine.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Do my recordings get uploaded anywhere?
No. Scenelet runs entirely on your PC. The camera footage, the indexes Scenelet builds, and the queries you type never leave your machine.
Can it look at footage from any camera brand?
If your camera or NVR exports MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI or similar standard files, Scenelet can index them. It does not need a vendor SDK.
What if I only need this when something happens?
That is the typical pattern. Indexing runs quietly in the background. When something happens, the search side is already ready.
TRY SCENELET
Find the moment in minutes, not hours.
Install Scenelet, point it at the folder your cameras write to, and the next time someone asks for the clip, the answer is "give me five minutes."
