Face recognition surveillance cameras

Face recognition

— cameras with this function are able to at least recognize the presence of faces in the frame; but the further use of this data and the special functionality of such cameras may be different. So, relatively simple models react only to the very fact of face detection, but even this provides quite extensive additional features: focus on a face, tracking a person in the frame (in moving PTZ cameras), etc. And more advanced cameras can recognize characteristic features faces by which a specific person can be identified. Such functionality, among other things, allows the surveillance system to compare the faces "seen" by the camera with the stored base and take various actions based on this — for example, allow or deny access, warn about an unwanted visitor or unauthorized use of a key card, etc. P.

Note that face recognition tools can also be found in registrars to which cameras are connected. However, the presence of such functions in the cameras themselves is also useful — especially if the existing registrar in this regard "does not shine with capabilities", or the system does not have a registrar at all (for example, it consists of IP cameras connected via a router to a PC).
