If searchable images are already uploaded into a face library click on Face Library and select an
image from the interface, then click Save to begin a search. If you would like to add images
locally click Local Upload and follow the on-screen prompts to upload images. A USB flash drive
with applicable images (in jpeg format) can be used to upload images to the NVR. Once an
image has been loaded, enter a start and end time of the event, and click Smart Search.
The system will display all face recognition data based on the image selected. All face
recognition data can be backed up locally using a USB flash drive.
Setting Up IVS and Heat Map
Both IVS rules and Heat Map features can be used simultaneously in the system. IVS rules on
the NVR are controlled either by camera or by the NVR. The NVR currently has 2 built-in IVS
features available (Tripwire and Intrusion) whereas some Amcrest AI cameras may have
additional IVS features. For more information on how to setup IVS and heat map, please refer to
the information provided below.
Note: Please make sure to completely disable any face detection, face recognition, people
counting or other AI features when using IVS rules.
1. Ensure the IVS and Heat Map options are enabled in the Smart Plan menu. Click Apply.
