Occupancy Sensing

When a USB camera is attached to the back of a Pod running Solstice 5.0 or later, Solstice can use the camera as an occupancy sensor. When enabled, Solstice can detect when a room is occupied, enabling automatic display monitor power management in Solstice 5.1 and later. This occupancy data is also collected in Solstice Cloud alongside other utilization data.

This feature can be used when any USB camera is plugged into the Pod. If the Pod is also enabled for Solstice video conferencing, occupancy data is not collected while a video conference is taking place. As a note, the camera quality, camera resolution, and room layout may factor into the accuracy of room occupancy reporting.
