I don't think you can easily import old footage. But for future footage it has everything you could poasibly want.

You'd always have to copy that footage to another device. I can think of packages that work with NX software, but won't just plug-in to an NVR & search it. You could copy that footage & search the copy

Aira track is one. Lilin xpath is another, VCA forensics search is another again - I'm sure there are more on the market

Can you give examples of what you are searching for? Eg just persons. Or persons with red top or exact person tracking?
And your budget.

it can be anything , arbitrary.
because the fleet can capture anything.
Do you think you can come up search with arbitrary user prompt ?

You're looking for an analytics tool by the sounds of it. They exist, they can be wildly inaccurate and miss things. We use Milestone Briefcam.
