Locating cameras and setting processing schedules

Locating cameras and setting processing schedules

You can assign an AI-enabled camera to a specific location in a floor plan to show where the camera is located and therefore where a person's face was detected.

You can also set an existing FortiRecorder schedule to an AI camera so that the face recognition AI module prioritizes processing the video within the designated schedule timeline first.

To assign a location to a camera

  1. Go to Face Recognition > User Asset > AI Cameras.
  2. Select the camera row and then click Assign.
  3. Follow the prompt on the screen to select the site, building, and floor for the location of the camera.
  4. Select the name of the area or select the area from the floor plan.
  5. Select the location of the camera within the selected area.
  6. Select Done.

To set a schedule for an AI-enabled camera

  1. Go to Face Recognition > User Asset > AI Cameras.
  2. Select the camera to highlight the row in blue.
  3. Click Schedule.
  4. From Video Process Priority, select either:

    • Latest high priority: AI processes the newest video first.
    • Earliest high priority: AI processes the oldest video first.
  5. From Schedule, select the schedule that governs the face recognition AI module. Face recognition AI will not function outside of the schedule.
  6. Click Save.
