The linked press release shows an animal is detected -- tiger etc. It does not say tiger running or hunting, which is where the time component would have been used.

the press release says:

> nouns such as “dog,” “flower” or “human” or verbs such as “run,” “swim" or “fly”

that out of the way... i suspect you wouldn't need video to detect those things...

and the screenshot you're referring to is an specific application of the API... not a kitchen sink:

> It can even provide contextual understanding of when those entities appear; for example, searching for “Tiger” would find all precise shots containing tigers across a video collection in Google Cloud Storage.

I have seen it detect that a car is drifting..
