face is not checked for authenticity. The function can therefore be manipulated (e.g. by printing out pictures of people).

When using the function, please observe country-specific regulations on the
protection of personal data.
Info on the function sequence
The recognition of a face is started when the person enters the scene. Several face models are then created in series, and the model with the highest information content is processed further after the person leaves the scene.

The face recognition process is therefore only completed after the person has
left the scene. Please note this behavior when using the function.
| Face detection | Faces that enter and leave the camera scene are recognized and saved as individual images and video sequences. All recognized faces can then be searched for. |
| Comparison of facial images | Faces entering and leaving the camera scene are compared with a database stored in the recorder. In the event of a positive or negative comparison with the database, various events can be |
| programmed (alarm pop-up on the local monitor, acoustic warning on the recorder, notification to the ABUS CMS software, e-mail dispatch, switching alarm output to camera, PTZ link, linking of audio or flashing light actions).For this function, facial images must be uploaded to the recorder's image database. This is done in the menu item "Face image library" (image format JPEG or JPG, file size less than 1 Mbyte, resolution 64x64 - 1920x1088). |
Minimum pupil distance: 30 pixels
Maximum pupil distance: 700 pixels
Example: Distance to face with camera with 1920 x 1080 pixels @ 2.8 mm focal
length (approx. 110 degrees): approx. max. 4 meters
9.5. Intelligent search / people search
This function is not currently supported by any ABUS cameras. All detected persons can be filtered in the event search under "Human". On the playback page, there is also a filter for "Human" on the left under the recording bar.
