Using Face Recognition

Face recognition is used in conjunction with face detection to locate and determine facial similarities

detected by the system. Images are registered in a face library, by the user, and accessed via a face

recognition smart search tool that is built into the DVR.

Note: A USB flash drive with applicable facial images (in jpeg format) should be inserted into a USB

port on the DVR if you are importing images locally.

There are 2 methods of face recognition, common mode, and stranger mode. Common mode allows

the device to use the images registered in the face library as a reference to recognize

faces. Stranger mode will alert the system once an unrecognized face is detected.

Note: Common mode can only be setup locally on the DVR or by using Internet Explorer on a PC. If

using Face Recognition on other browsers, such as Google Chrome or Firefox, please use Stranger

Mode.
