Updated over 5 months ago

Person of Interest (POI) alerts notify you when a specific face is detected by a camera in your organization. You can choose or upload faces to track, and POIs are shared across the organization.


Create a POI

  1. In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Cameras.

  2. On the left navigation, click People.


Manage POI list

To view or edit persons of interest in your organization:

  1. In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Cameras.

  2. On the left navigation, click People.

  3. At the top, select People of Interest.

  4. Click the photo of the POI you want to manage.

  5. (Optional) Under the main profile photo, click to add additional context pictures to improve accuracy.

  6. (Optional) On the left, under the image, configure tags, alerts, or provide notes on the specific POI.

To ensure you receive notifications for the correct POI verify the photo is a direct facial shot with no obstructions. Use a shot where the POI has no facial wear, such as sunglasses or a mask.
