The unique AI system of the Ola camera learns the rhythm of your life and people’s routines, therefore suggesting searches based on this and the searches you have already done.

Ola is using body movements and other behavioral features to identify people for its internal analysis, in addition to face recognition. E.g. an older adult falling should require the system to be more sensitive than a young child who jumps, falls and gets up. Any such recognition is solely targeted to provide better safety and security while using Ola, and is not targeted to infringe privacy in any way. Hence, most of the recognition features are internal for domestic utilization, having the selected profiles being “shown” under >> settings>> people. The user has the option to link profiles generated by face and body movements to create recognition.

See the explanation above.
