    Face Recongition 5.3 Ideal Camera Position Face recognition works best when the camera is properly aligned with the face of the recognition target. When installing the camera, make sure to take the relevant environmental factors into account, such as height, distance, focus and range, to achieve optimal recognition results.
  • Page 74  Focus: A large depth of field not only ensures an appropriate image size for the faces of the recognition targets, but also allows them to stay in focus for a longer period of time, thereby increasing the recognition accuracy. Calibrate the lens at the telephoto end for effective recognition at its optimal recognition distance of 4 m (13.12 ft).

  • Page 75: Adjusting Illumination

    Face Recongition 5.4 Adjusting Illumination After installing the camera properly, it is required to adjust the environment’s lighting since the recognition process may vary depending on the illumination. Follow the guidelines below to set up the environment’s lighting according to Daytime, Nighttime and Low Illumination (WDR) recognition needs.

  • Page 76: Nighttime

    5.4.2 Nighttime If you found recognition results to be less optimal at night, you can use extra IR LED tubes as a lighting aid for the camera or create extra face data under IR LED illumination. Both methods can be applied to achieve optimal face recognition results at night. Figure 5-6 ...

  • Page 77: Low Illumination (Wdr)

    Face Recongition 5.4.3 Low Illumination (WDR) Intense lighting contrast in an environment may cause ineffective recognition results. In this case, there are two ways to compensate for recognition accuracy:  Apply Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) or Back Light Compensation (BLC): By default, the WDR function is enabled.
