# People and Vehicle Motion Search Verkada’s people and vehicle search features use advanced computer vision functionality to identify people and vehicles within the camera’s field of view and quickly find relevant events. The Verkada Command UI enables instant video replay previews and trajectory viewing. Trajectory analysis features offer possibilities for event search, reducing missed detections, improving detection distance, and reducing duplicates. *** ## View people and vehicles over a timeline {% hint style="danger" %} You must have Site Viewer and Site Admin access to view the **Motion** tab under the camera feed. Learn more about [Roles and Permissions for Cameras](/verkada-cameras/getting-started/roles-and-permissions-for-cameras.md). {% endhint %} You can view people and vehicles detected by a Verkada camera within historical footage. {% stepper %} {% step %} **In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Cameras.** {% endstep %} {% step %} **Select a camera to view its feed.** {% endstep %} {% step %} **Select the Motion tab.** {% endstep %} {% step %} **To the right, click Show Paths to toggle the feature on/off.** When the icon is black, the feature is on.
* Click and drag on the video feed to create a grid to search for motion in the area. * Use the People, Vehicle, and Date filters for more granular searches. {% endstep %} {% step %} **Hover over a thumbnail while the People or Vehicle tabs are selected to see the number of people or vehicles in the frame and the option to archive the clip.**
{% hint style="warning" %} People and/or vehicles will be available only if detected in the camera frame. {% endhint %} {% endstep %} {% step %} **Hover over the preview to view individual tracks.**
{% endstep %} {% step %} **Click the thumbnail to be taken to the exact time in the recorded footage.** {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} ### View people trajectories (paths) The people trajectories feature visualizes the paths of people moving through the scene to show the trajectories of each detected person. Trajectories drastically improve motion event recall and enable the cameras to recognize people and vehicles at greater distances. For a detailed breakdown of the detection ranges of each model, see the [People Analytics Guide](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/people-analytics-guide.pdf). {% stepper %} {% step %} **In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Cameras.** {% endstep %} {% step %} **Select a camera to view its feed.** {% endstep %} {% step %} **Select the Motion tab.** {% endstep %} {% step %} **(Optional) Make a selection on the video player grid to search for motion in the area.** {% endstep %} {% step %} **Select the People or Vehicle filter to see the trajectories.**
{% endstep %} {% endstepper %} ### MotionX advanced search Verkada supports advanced searches based on certain events. You can use filters to quickly retrieve clips of people or vehicles that have: * Crossed a certain line * A minimum number in view * Been in view for a minimum amount of time See below to learn more about how each filter can be used individually and together. #### Set up line crossing {% hint style="warning" %} Only [CB52-E/CB62-E](https://www.verkada.com/security-cameras/bullet#models), [CD22](https://www.verkada.com/au/security-cameras/dome/cd22/)/[CD22-E](https://www.verkada.com/au/security-cameras/dome/cd22-e/), [CD32](https://www.verkada.com/au/security-cameras/dome/cd32/)/[CD32-E](https://www.verkada.com/au/security-cameras/dome/cd32-e/), [CD42](https://www.verkada.com/security-cameras/dome/cd42/)/[CD42-E](https://www.verkada.com/security-cameras/dome/cd42-e/), [CD43](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-cd43-datasheet.pdf)/[CD43-E](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-cd43-e-datasheet.pdf), [CD52](https://www.verkada.com/security-cameras/dome/cd52/)/[CD52-E](https://www.verkada.com/security-cameras/bullet/cb52-e/), [CD53](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-cd53-datasheet.pdf)/[CD53-E](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-cd53-e-datasheet.pdf), [CD62](https://www.verkada.com/security-cameras/dome/cd62/)/[CD62-E](https://www.verkada.com/security-cameras/bullet/cb62-e/), [CD63](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-cd63-datasheet.pdf)/[CD63-E](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-cd63-e-datasheet.pdf), [CH52-E](https://www.verkada.com/security-cameras/multisensor/ch52-e/), [CH53-E](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-ch53-e-datasheet.pdf), [CH63-E](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-ch63-e-datasheet.pdf), [CM22](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/cm22-mini-dome-datasheet.pdf), [CM42](https://www.verkada.com/security-cameras/mini/cm42/), [CM42-S](https://www.verkada.com/security-cameras/mini/cm42-s/), [CR63-E](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-cr63-e-datasheet.pdf), [CY53-E](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-cy53-e-datasheet.pdf), and [CY63-E](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-cy63-e-datasheet.pdf) cameras support this feature. {% endhint %} {% stepper %} {% step %} **In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Cameras.** {% endstep %} {% step %} **Select a camera.** {% endstep %} {% step %} **On the right menu, click Camera Overlays > Line Crossing Search.** {% endstep %} {% step %} **To add a line:** a.

Newer camera models can run the motion detection model locally, whereas D-series cameras still rely on the Verkada Cloud to run it. | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------ | | **Model** | **Motion Events** | **Motion Trajectories** | **Motion Model** | | CB52-E, CB62-E, CD22, CD32, CD42, CD43, CD52, CD53, CD62, CD63, CF81-E, CF83-E, CH52, CH53, CH63, CM42, CM42-S, CP52-E, CP63-E, CR63-E, CY53, CY63 | Supported | Supported | Runs in the camera | | CD31, CD41, CD51, CD61, CM41, CM61 | Supported | Not supported | Runs in the camera | | D30, D40, D50, D80 | Supported | Not supported | Runs in the cloud | *** {% hint style="info" %} **Prefer to see it in action?** Check out the [video tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4f0hVifcWs\&list=PL3USUWfBbtdJpB2F8sOOJOdvv2qlWcfpk\&index=1). {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
