People analytics uses powerful edge-based camera capabilities to detect people, faces, and filter results based on clothing color, apparent sex, and the presence of backpacks.
Enable Person History
All Verkada cameras perform people detection (as outlined above) out of the box. However, to enable more complex analytics, such as the ability to search for faces, and for people by clothing color, person history must be turned on.
You will first need to enable the feature globally on your org and then on the individual cameras.
