Watchlist Alerts
Automatic notifications triggered when a person on a predefined watchlist is detected by a face recognition camera or attempts to pass an access point.
Watchlists can be used for security blocks, VIP recognition, restricted visitor screening, or special handling workflows.
Frequently Asked Questions about Watchlist Alerts
How is a watchlist created in Nialabs?
Admins can upload photos or enroll faces directly into watchlist groups via the cloud dashboard — creating separate lists for VIPs, blocked individuals, and flagged visitors.
Can a watchlist alert automatically lock a door?
Yes. Nialabs can be configured to deny access and lock a specific door immediately when a blacklisted face is detected, while simultaneously alerting security staff.
Is watchlist recognition different from standard attendance?
Watchlist scanning runs in continuous identification mode (1:N) against a smaller list — optimized for fast, ongoing detection rather than one-at-a-time verification.
