6.1 Face Detection
NOTE:
Before enabling Face Detection or Tripwire, ensure that you’ve configured Intelligent recording schedules (refer to
2.1.5 Configuring Recording Schedules), or these functions will not work.
NOTE:
Only Channel 1 can use Face Detection. Face detection and other IVS cannot be used at the same time!
Intelligent Video Systems (IVS) let your CCTV system go beyond surveillance, delivering advanced & powerful detection
tools. When properly configured, these functions can alert you to suspicious activity in real time via email/smartphone
notification and let you easily search through surveillance footage via event history.
