Using Face Recognition
There are 2 methods of face recognition, general, and stranger modes. 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: General mode can only be setup locally on the DVR or by using Internet Explorer on a PC.
The face recognition feature is currently not compatible with certain browsers such as, Google
Chrome, Firefox, etc.
