Overview
Improving security and customer analytics is even easier than it was before. With People Insights, you can have your cameras count the number of people within a given area, how long they remain idle, and how often people are in the area on both a short term (daily and hourly) and long term (weekly and monthly) basis.
Step 1: Choose Insight Type
From the Spot Dashboard, click Intelligence along the top menu bar, then select People Insights.
Choose which type of insight you’d like to set up from the pop-up menu.
Step 2: Create your insight dashboard

Step 1: Name your dashboard. You can also add an optional description of what the dashboard is for.
Step 2: Select the cameras you’d like to use. Once you click Select Camera, you’ll see your full list of cameras on the right hand side of the screen. Note, you can only set up one camera at a time.
Step 3: Add a count line. On the live image of your selected camera, you’ll click anywhere on the screen where you’d like to count people, then click again to end the line. Select whether you’d like people coming in, going out, or both counted in the lower left corner of the screen. Then, click the circles to set the direction.
