## How do you search dash cam video evidence by incident type?

The fastest way to search dash cam video evidence by incident type is to upload dash cam footage to Cutsio, which uses Visual Intelligence to analyze spoken statements and visual details, then type the incident description into the search bar to find every relevant recording.

Insurance claims teams and law enforcement manage thousands of dash cam recordings. Finding "all incidents involving a rear-end collision at an intersection" or "recordings showing adverse weather conditions" requires reviewing each file individually.

## How does Visual Intelligence find dash cam evidence?

Upload dash cam footage to Cutsio. Visual Intelligence generates transcripts for any spoken statements and analyzes visual content for incident details including vehicle positions, weather conditions, road types, and other vehicles. Searching for "rear-end collision at intersection" returns every recording showing that incident type. Searching for "rainy conditions highway" returns footage matching those conditions.

## How do Collections and Share support evidence review?

Collections organize dash cam footage by date, incident type, or vehicle. Share links with password protection allow claims adjusters and legal teams to review specific evidence remotely without transferring large files.

## How does Cutsio's Storage model help insurance teams?

Cutsio charges by minutes of footage, not gigabytes. Dash cam footage is continuous — a single claim might have hours of recordings. Under per-gigabyte pricing, the cost of storing and indexing all claim footage adds up. Cutsio's per-minute pricing makes it economical to keep every second of evidence indexed and searchable, with Visual Intelligence analysis included at no additional charge.

## How does visual search help claims adjusters process claims faster?

Claims adjusters handling dash cam evidence need to verify incident details quickly to process claims. Without search, they scrub through each recording looking for relevant moments. With Cutsio, an adjuster handling a claim involving a rear-end collision at a specific intersection uploads the dash cam footage and searches for "rear-end collision at Main and 5th" — or if the visual is clearer than the description, "red SUV rear-ended sedan at intersection." Visual Intelligence searches both transcript and visual content to find the matching incident. The adjuster finds the critical moment in seconds, verifies the incident details, and moves the claim forward.

## What does the full claims workflow look like with Visual Intelligence?

An insurance claims team receives dash cam footage from a policyholder involved in a multi-vehicle accident. The footage is uploaded to Cutsio. Visual Intelligence transcribes any spoken statements and indexes visual details including vehicle positions, weather conditions, and road type. The adjuster searches for "rear-end collision at highway on-ramp" and finds the specific incident moment. The adjuster reviews the clip, verifies the sequence of events, and shares the relevant segment with the claims legal team via a secure Share link with password protection and expiration date. The claim is processed with verified evidence, reducing the need for additional investigation and speeding up resolution.
