The features included as part of this suite include: - Motion Plotting: A view of real-time motion displayed as a heatmap showing activity as it occurs across an organization's floor plans, enabling teams to know where to monitor activity. - Crowd Notifications: Instant alerts for when cameras detect a number of people in-frame that meet or exceed a predetermined threshold, ensuring teams can prevent crowding and spread of disease. - Contact Tracing with Face Search: Quickly search for all relevant footage containing a match for a person's face—even while wearing a mask—to detect affected individuals. - People Heatmaps: A view of historical people-based activity that has occurred throughout an organization against their floor plans, allowing teams to distribute locations prone to crowding, as well as enhancing cleaning and sanitation. - Custom Schedules: Easily manage a return-to-work plan by creating custom schedules for giving employees access to the building and specific doors at certain times. With these new features, both essential organizations and existing customers can continue to leverage their existing Verkada devices to plan and continue to respond to the pandemic while keeping both employees and guests safe.
