Configuring Face Recognition
The face recognition feature uses artificial intelligence to identify unique faces and enact policies based on configured information. For example, administrators can identify faces and designate those faces as "known" and establish various information in the user database on those individuals, such as their occupation or their department. The information can be used to determine what time of day they appear on a camera or the frequency of their appearances, allowing the administrator to create policies to send out notifications based on that data.

Face recognition requires internet access and is supported on 200D, 400D, 400F and VM. For VM users, a minimum of 4GB of memory is required, while 8GB or more is recommended. |
