Check (in Svid)
A check, in Svid, is a paid watcher that runs over the core pipeline. The pipeline already describes and indexes every frame of the footage; a check reads that output with one concern in mind, either judging footage as it arrives or reading a whole video after the fact.
Alerting checks
An alerting check judges a window of recent frames as footage arrives, so a fall or a concealment is read as a sequence of events rather than a single snapshot. When its condition is met it raises an alert on screen, by email or by JSON webhook into a system you already run. Theft Watch by the till and Bed Exit Alert in a care home are both this kind: the same pipeline, with one added concern per check.
Report checks
A report check reads a whole video and writes a document you can forward or file. Daily Summary turns a day of footage into a readable account, Shrinkage Heatmap maps where losses cluster, and Incident Reconstruction assembles the timeline of a single event. Where an alerting check interrupts you the moment something happens, a report check waits until it has seen everything.
What a check costs
Every check is a flat one-time $5 in the Store, whether it is built-in or one you wrote yourself, an alert or a report. You buy the ones you want once and own them for good; what they cost to run afterwards is metered from your pay-as-you-go credits, the same as any other analysis. The full catalogue is on the checks page.
The old name: adapter
Checks were historically called adapters, in the engineering sense of an optional AI step fitted over an unchanging pipeline, so you may still meet the old word in earlier material about Svid.
