The invention discloses an intelligent skynet rapid video retrieval system which comprises a data collecting and processing module and an intelligence information module. The data collecting and processing module comprises an intelligent DVR and a video abstraction system, wherein the intelligent DVR is connected in a video in real time, intelligent analysis and intelligent detection are carried out on the video by the intelligent DVR, meanwhile intelligent alarm records are generated, the video abstraction system obtains video files, and abstraction compression processing is carried out on the video files by the video abstraction system to form abstraction files. The intelligence information module comprises an intelligence data base, an intelligence information system and a platform client side, wherein the intelligence data base is used for storing the abstraction files, alarm information, original videos and relevant description information which are uploaded from a data collecting and processing layer, the intelligence information system manages all intelligence information in a unified and concentrated mode and provides various inquiry modes for the platform client side, and the platform client side retrieves the uploaded abstraction files and the uploaded alarm records. The intelligent skynet rapid video retrieval system directly and rapidly conducts retrieval according to time, places, channels or label information, repeated video processing is not required, and the intelligent skynet rapid video retrieval system is rapid and effective.
