License Plate of Interest

Learn how to configure License Plate of Interest (LPOI) alerts

Updated over a week ago

Verkada's License Plate of Interest (LPOI) feature allows you to define a list of license plates that will trigger an alert when detected.

To streamline and manage your POIs, you can:

  • Categorize and organize profiles using custom tags.

  • Easily create and maintain alerts for specific tags.

  • Quickly find POI profiles by searching tags.

  • Create custom tags for your POI profiles and then associate those profiles to those tags.

  • Associate Person of Interest (POI) profiles with LPOI profiles.

  2. On the left panel, select Vehicles.

  3. At the top, click the License Plates of Interest tab.

  4. On the toolbar, click License Plates of Interest.

  5. On the Add License Plate of Interest dialog, enter a plate number and unique name.

  6. Click Save to finalize the License Plate of Interest.

  7. Once you add license plate, you can later add a description (for reference) or assign an access user.

Alternatively, you can also toggle License Plate of Interest on any license plate entry in the All License Plates view.
