Notifications via face recognition

Face recognition policies log and/or alert you to occurrences that fit your criteria.

For example, you could set a policy that sends you an SMS text message whenever an unknown person's face is captured on camera in a high security location.

  1. Go to Face Recognition > Policy > Policy.
  2. Click New.
  3. Enter a Rule Name.
  4. From the Event Type dropdown list, select either:

    • Normal: Any expected occurrence. For example, an employee enters the building at the usual time to start his shift. Although the event is normal, you might still want to be notified of the event's occurrence.
    • Abnormal: Any unexpected occurrence. For example, an employee enters an area of the building that he should not have access to, and doesn't usually enter.
  5. From the Site, Building, Floor, and Area dropdown lists, indicate the location that you want to monitor.
  6. From the Person dropdown list, select the face cluster that will match the policy.
  7. From the Action dropdown list, select one or more actions to do when the policy is matched:

    • alert
    • email
    • sms
  8. Click Save.
