# Helix API Integration

Helix is an event search feature on the Verkada Command platform. You can generate events by pairing data from third-party applications with camera footage. Users can use the data to filter events to find relevant footage. Helix is compatible with all camera models and can be set up via Verkada’s public [API endpoint](https://apidocs.verkada.com/reference/getting-started).
