Watch Lists
*************************************************


The appearance of specific individuals in the video is monitored with a set of default and custom watch lists. 

Records of individuals are assigned to watch lists. Once a watch list is activated, the system will be looking for each person on it during video processing or :ref:`remote monitoring <remote-alerting-search>`.

You can create as many custom watch lists as necessary: wanted, suspects, etc. — subject to your needs.
