Task
Face Recognition tasks detect faces in target areas. In the Task tab, you can create different types of tasks to accommodate different surroundings and be alerted when events occur.
Create Tasks
To create a face recognition task:
- Click Create.
- In the basic task settings page, enter a Task name, select the Video source and Stream profile, and click Next to continue.
- In the event list settings page, configure the following settings and click Next to continue:
- Identified Events: You can choose a face frame color for the Allowed, Blocked, VIP, and Registered events, and click the Select buttons to add groups to the corresponding lists. Before you select groups, please note the following:
- If user profiles are added to different event lists, they will be marked in the order of Blocked > VIP > Allowed.
- User profiles belonging to groups that have not been added to any event lists will be marked as Registered.
- If you haven't created any user profiles in the Face Database, you will only be able to create Unidentified Events. The system will still keep a record of all captured faces.
- Unidentified Events: This type of event marks faces that have not been registered in the database, that are unclear, or taken at a bad angle of view. You can select the face frame color.
- Ignore alerts triggered by unclear faces: Tick the checkbox if you do not wish to receive alerts about unclear faces.
- In the task parameters page, configure the following settings and click Save to complete:
- Similarity: Use the percentage bar to set a value. The analysis will compare the detected faces with the profile photos in the Face Database according to the similarity you set.
- Display information: Determine how you wish to display the detection zone on-screen, and click the Edit Detection Zone button under the preview window to modify the settings. You can drag the nodes to adjust the frame shapes and use the left and right mouse keys to add or delete nodes.
- Ignore undersized faces: If you wish to exclude faces smaller than a certain size from the detection, select Enable from the drop-down menu and click Edit to fine-tune the face size. You can either enter a value or drag the nodes to adjust the frame size.
- Face frame information display: Determine what information to display on-screen.
Note:
- Each camera can only run one task at a time.
- The recommended camera stream setting is 1080p at 20 FPS.
