# Face Profiles

Face profiles are databases of known people for cameras. It is org-based, so cameras in the same org can recognize faces with the database. you can upload photos, add tags, and enable Person of Interest (POI) here. To make the camera recognize person identity, you should enroll face photo for the personal profile first.

Add or edit personal profiles from **Manage > Organization > Face Profiles**

Once personal profiles are set, cameras can recognize them and show their names on video (live and playback). In an example of searching for a person, you may find when he has been by uploading his photo or browsing on detected faces. **Go to EnGenius Cloud > Manage Camera > Faces**.&#x20;

There are all faces detected by cameras. Faces of a person in different cameras are grouped together.&#x20;
