Organize identity groups
Select a team once and use it across your recognition workflows. Identity groups let you detect or search for any enrolled person in a selected group.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”Open Identities in the EyesOnIt web UI with permission to manage the directory. Choose groups that describe the people you want to recognize, such as campus staff or an entrance watch list.
Identity groups contain people. Camera folders contain video sources. A face search combines both: who to find, and which cameras to search.
