How AI Video Search Helps Healthcare Security Teams Respond Faster

How FreeForm Helps Healthcare Security Teams Respond Faster to Threats

Security incidents in healthcare environments rarely begin with perfect information.

Sometimes all a security team has is:

• a vehicle description,
• a clothing detail,
• a direction of travel,
• or a report that someone may intend harm to a patient or staff member.

The challenge is not whether footage exists. It’s finding the right evidence quickly enough to respond.

That’s where Flock FreeForm helps.

FreeForm gives healthcare security teams a faster way to search video and license plate reader (LPR) evidence using natural-language descriptions instead of relying only on rigid filters or manual footage review.

The result: faster situational awareness, clearer investigations, and more informed response decisions.

‍

What Is Flock FreeForm?

Flock FreeForm is a natural-language search tool built for healthcare security teams, GSOCs, and campus safety operations. Instead of toggling between systems or manually combing footage, teams can search video and LPR evidence together using plain-language descriptions pulled directly from incident reports or witness statements -- "blue SUV with silver crossbars" or "man in camo hoodie and orange hat."

FreeForm surfaces relevant visual matches across enabled video feeds and LPR systems for teams to review, helping organizations move from a partial description to actionable evidence faster.

‍

Why Traditional Video Search Workflows Slow Threat Response Down

Healthcare security teams often operate in fast-moving environments where response time matters. But traditional video search workflows can create delays when:

• Descriptions are incomplete
• Mulitple camera systems must be searched separately
• teams manually review large volumes of footage
• Invesitgators must coordinate across entrances, parking areas, and facilities

As camera coverage expands, the operational challenge often becomes finding relevant evidence quickly enough to act. FreeForm helps reduce that friction by giving security teams a more flexible and connected way to search.

See What Faster Threat Response Looks Like

When security teams can search video and LPR evidence quickly, they can act before a known threat reaches a patient, staff member, or facility. In this case, FreeForm helps a hospital security team use natural-language search and connected camera workflows to identify and track a reported threat across the property in real time.

‍

The result: faster situational awareness, quicker coordination, and more informed response decisions.

How FreeForm Helps Healthcare Security Teams Work Faster

‍

Search Using Natural Language

Security teams can search using the kinds of descriptions people naturally provide during incident reports, calls, or witness statements.

Instead of forcing information into rigid categories, FreeForm helps teams start with what they know and narrow results from there.

That can help surface relevant evidence faster during time-sensitive incidents.

‍

Search Video and LPR Evidence Together

FreeForm brings video and LPR evidence into one workflow. Instead of switching between disconnected systems, teams can review:

• vehicle results
• video matches
• alerts
• and related evidence

in one interface. That can help reduce manual review time and improve coordination across security operations and response teams.

‍

Search Across Connected Camera Systems

When authorized, organizations can search across connected camera systems and participating locations.

‍This can help teams:

• investigate incidents across facilities,
• identify vehicle movement patterns,
• coordinate response more effectively,
• and improve visibility across healthcare campuses.

Access remains permission-based and locally controlled.

‍

Receive Alerts When Relevant Matches Appear

FreeForm can notify teams when relevant matches are detected on enabled systems.

This helps operators assess potential threats without continuously monitoring camera feeds manually.

‍

FreeForm Is Not Facial Recognition

FreeForm does not use facial recognition or person recognition.

People search is based on observable visual characteristics captured on enabled video feeds, such as:

• clothing
• visible accessories or objects
• or vehicle associations.

It is not designed to identify a specific person. Tthat distinction matters. Security systems should support faster response and clearer investigations while remaining transparent about how the technology works.

‍

Built-In Accountability and Reviewability

FreeForm includes:

• audit logs
• permission-based access
• search history
• moderation tools

These controls help organizations review searches, manage access, and support responsible use across teams and facilities. Every healthcare organization operates differently. That’s why local control and reviewability matter.

‍

Who Uses FreeForm?

FreeForm is designed to support:

• Healtcare secuirty teams
• GSOCs
• Investigators
• Campus safety teams
• Hospital Operations centers
• multi-site security operations

It can help organizations investigate:

• workplace violence threats,
• unauthorized access,
• trespassing,
• suspicious activity,
• and operational security incidents more efficiently.

‍

A Faster Way to Surface Relevant Evidence

The goal of FreeForm is not to replace security teams.

It’s to help teams:

• spend less time searching,
• reduce manual footage review,
• and surface relevant evidence faster.

Because in many incidents, the challenge is not whether footage exists.

It’s whether teams can find the right evidence quickly enough to respond.

Frequently Asked Questions about Flock FreeForm

‍

How does Flock FreeForm help healthcare security teams search video faster?

Flock FreeForm lets healthcare security teams search enabled video and LPR evidence using natural-language descriptions, such as a vehicle description, clothing detail, entrance location, or direction of travel. It helps teams surface relevant matches for review without relying only on rigid filters or manual footage review.

‍

Can Flock FreeForm search video and license plate reader evidence together?

Yes. FreeForm brings video and LPR evidence into one workflow so teams can review vehicle results, video matches, alerts, and related evidence in a single interface. This can help reduce system switching and support faster coordination during investigations or active security incidents.

‍

Does Flock FreeForm use facial recognition?

No. FreeForm does not use facial recognition and is not designed to identify a specific person. People search is based on what security teams can actually observe on enabled video -- clothing, visible accessories, associated vehicles -- not biometric data.

‍

What safeguards does Flock FreeForm include for healthcare security use?

FreeForm includes permission-based access, audit logs, search history, and moderation tools. These controls help healthcare organizations manage who can search, review how the system is used, and maintain local control across teams and facilities.
