Create a Person of Interest for Air Quality sensors

Learn how to create a POI from Air Quality sensor alerts

Updated today

Verkada cameras allow you to create a Person of Interest (POI) using one or more photos of a person’s face. When paired with an Air Quality sensor, cameras can help identify and track nearby individuals during specific air quality alerts.

  • The camera paired to the sensor must have People Analytics enabled to support POI creation and people tracking from Air Quality sensors.

  • Sensor readings must be configured with triggers to generate events. See Air Quality Sensor Settings for more information.


Enable Air Quality People Insights

To activate People Insights on your Air Quality sensors, you first need to activate the feature for your organization.

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

  2. In the left navigation, select Feature Manager.

  3. Under Air Quality > Sensor People Insights, select Enabled from the dropdown menu.


Create a Person of Interest profile

People analytics page

You can create a Person of Interest profile from the People page. Organizations with POI profiles already created will automatically start tracking Air Quality POI. See Create a Person of Interest for more information.

Air Quality events page

  1. In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Air Quality.

  2. Select your sensor, then choose an event on the right to view the individuals detected during that event.

  3. Thumbnails will populate on the right. Click in the top right of the image you want to make a POI.

    1. Select Add Person of Interest.

    2. Name the POI.

    3. Click Create.

  4. You can now view profiles and their associated air quality events from the People Insights tab in the left navigation.

POI event footage follows the camera’s retention period. For example, if a camera has 30-day retention, POI event clips will no longer be available after that period.


Remove a POI profile

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

  2. On the left navigation, click People.

  3. On the left, under People Lists, select the list the POI profile is in.

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

  5. Click next to their name and select Remove this person.
