The invention discloses an intelligent processing and search method for social security video monitoring images. Intelligent processing and search of the images are implemented by adopting a social security video monitoring system; and the social security video monitoring system comprises a camera, a video distributor, a video matrix, a display screen, a hard disk video recorder, an intelligent video processor, an alarm device, a network switch, a database server and search workstations. The intelligent video processor are used for performing digitization, coding, pre-processing, target identification, feature extraction and abnormal behavior analysis on the monitored videos, and functions of controlling the alarm device and the video matrix and the like are realized, so that human monitoring is not required, and time and labor are saved; and the search workstations for automatic search in the database server are adopted, so the method is easy to operate, mass research is not required, the research time is saved, and the research result is displayed clearly.
