You can select all the objects on the current page by checking the Select All checkbox and you can then delete them all. You can also use Shift+Click to select multiple consecutive objects.

In the Mode field, you can select between two operation modes:

  • Include (default) – Find all objects that have a recognizable face that matches one or more faces within the selected identities or watchlists.

  • Exclude – Find all objects that have a recognizable face that matches none of the faces within the selected identities or watchlists.

A blue line will appear around the face when it is selected.

When you search by using a watchlist, the image from the watchlist will appear together with a video clip.

Under the closeup clip are details about the event, watchlist and identity. This helps the operator verify that the identity matching was correct.

In Exclude mode, if faces that are non-matched are found, only the face is displayed (since there is no matched identity).

Watchlists are set in the Customizations section.

When searching for identities, faces with a 1-star rating will not be included in the search results and cannot be added to the filter.
