A Subject Profile
A subject profile gathers everything eConnect knows about one person: who they are, what they look like, where they have been seen, and how that connects to everything else.
What is on it
| Section | Contents |
|---|---|
| Identity | Name, subject ID, and fields such as employer, department, employee ID, age |
| Photos | Enrolled photographs — see Enrolling Photos |
| Detections | Every sighting, with image, camera and time |
| Tags | Classification, and what it triggers — see Face Tags |
| Zone visits | Entries, exits and durations — see Detections and Zones |
| Similar Faces | Possible duplicate records — see Similar Faces and Merging |
| Associations | People and vehicles seen with them — see Associations |
| Alerts | Alerts raised about this subject |
Detections are the substance
The detection history is what turns a record into an investigation. Each detection carries its image, which camera saw it and when, and leads to the footage.
Read it for patterns rather than events: the same person at the same entrance every Tuesday afternoon tells you more than any single sighting. Sort chronologically for a sequence, and use View detection sequence to follow a movement through the property.
From a detection to the video
View associated cameras opens the cameras covering that location, which is how you get from a still to the recording. This depends on associations being configured.
This action is recorded in the audit trail.
Files attached to a subject
A profile's Files hold the documents that belong with the person — a statement, a photograph from another system, a letter. They open in the application: PDFs, images, plain text and CSV are all readable without downloading anything, and an image opens in the same lightbox the detections use.
Downloading is still there for the cases where somebody needs the file itself. It is just no longer the only way to find out what the file says.
Opening a profile in its own window
The title bar carries a pop-out control. A profile in its own window stays put while you work elsewhere, which is what makes comparing two people practical — one window each, both live.
Each subject gets one window: opening the same person again focuses the window that is already there rather than stacking another copy.
Editing
Identity fields can be edited where you have permission. Two things worth care:
- Names. A subject named inconsistently is hard to find later, and duplicates start here.
- Dates. An incorrect birthdate can be corrected or removed rather than being permanent.
Visit history and tags on the timeline
Below the subject's timeline, Visit History and Tags are toggles rather than checkboxes — they read the same way as the Results / Aggregate control elsewhere — and they are independent: turn on either, both, or neither.
Duration of visit
New in version 11: face recognition records how long a subject was observed, not merely that they were detected. That feeds visit durations and makes matching more reliable, because a sustained observation is stronger evidence than a single frame.
See Detections and Zones.
Removing a subject
Removing somebody is done from the main profile image: right-click it and use Manage Face.
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Un-Enroll Person | Drops the face template, so the subject is no longer matched against |
| UnEnroll / Re-Match All | Drops the template and pushes every detection back through matching |
Un-enrolling is the removal: there is no separate delete. The subject's detections remain — they are evidence of what the cameras saw, and they do not stop being true because the subject is no longer enrolled.
Choose UnEnroll / Re-Match All when the profile was wrong rather than unwanted: a subject built from two people's faces, for instance. Re-matching pushes each detection back through recognition, so they re-cluster onto whichever profiles they actually belong to. It is the heavier of the two and worth the wait when the alternative is a profile nobody can trust.
Plain Un-Enroll Person is the right choice when the profile is correct and simply should not be watched for any more.
Saving and leaving
Save is a split button: Save and keep editing for a run of changes, Save and close for the common case where the edit was the only reason you opened the profile. Leaving with unsaved changes asks first, whether you navigate away or close the window.
Producing a report
Export PDF report produces a document of the profile with selectable sections — for a case file, a briefing, or handing to somebody outside eConnect. See PDF Reports.
What is recorded
Opening and editing a profile are both audited.
Editing a subject is recorded as Subject Edit (type 800), written server-side. Face edits and tag changes are recorded separately — see the Audit Catalog for the full set.
