Face Recognition Alerts
You can trigger rule-based alerts by face recognition. The differences between the smart alert and real-times alerts are detailed in the table below. Face recognition alerts can be used for both real-time alert and smart alerts.
Note that when using the Linux-based Next-Gen engine, there is one type of alert that covers the alert types.
Smart Alerts with Linux-based Next-Gen Engine | Smart Alerts with Windows-based Classic Engine | Real-Time Alerts with Windows-based Classic Engine | |
Advantage | Higher accuracy in crowded scenes, longer dwell times possible, better handling of static objects, better in overhead cameras, and more accurate object counting. | More accurate because it uses more frames per object | Better in crowded scenes for face recognition because it uses face tracking instead of full body tracking |
Alert time | Up to 5 seconds | 30-60 seconds | Up to 5 seconds |
BriefCam object type | Still image and video clip | Video clip | Still image |
Available filters | All | All | Class, Face Recognition, Count (time-dependent only), Area and Line Crossing |
Face recognition alerts have a cool down period of 30 seconds. This means that when an identity triggers an alert, the same identity will not trigger another alert for 30 seconds.
