What is the Imou AI Insight Package?

Description and use

The Imou AI Insight Package offers cloud AI enrichment for camera events, providing readable descriptions, keyword search, daily briefs, and highlight reels, with access gated by subscription and ACLs.

Problem

Users receive raw motion alerts that are hard to interpret; need readable summaries, keyword search, daily briefs, and highlight reels while respecting subscription and ACL constraints.

Outcome

Implemented a clear separation between standard cloud storage and AI Insight storage, ensuring that only subscribed users receive enriched alerts, searchable events, daily briefs, and highlight reels. All features are gated by ACLs and subscription status, preventing misrepresentation of the service as live video.

Workflow

• 1. Call insight.explain(alertId) to get readable alert or fallback to motion‑only if not subscribed.
• 2. Use insightQueries.search(tenantId, q) for keyword search over user‑visible alerts.
• 3. Use insightQueries.briefing(siteId, day) to get auto‑generated daily summary.
• 4. Use insightQueries.reel(siteId, day) to get short highlight reel.
• 5. Revoke access via revoke(userId, siteId) and invalidate cached queries.
• 6. Run reviewInsightPr(cameraId, user) to ensure unsubscribed cameras show fixed types, revoked users miss search/briefing/reel, and UI does not imply live video.

Evidence

I treat the Imou AI Insight Package as a subscribed cloud‑AI service, not as a player I can mount.
