    Sentinel Facial Recognition: Black Edition - Free for 3 cams

    I noticed they say face detection, not recognition. There are generally 2 steps to face rec 1) face detection 2) face matching. Both are heavy ML models. I think it is an awesome step forward but do notice that one thing is not the same as the other

    Sentinel Facial Recognition: Black Edition - Free for 3 cams

    We are actually working on having an option to share a detection (and the accompanying profile) to a shared db that people can opt to subscribe to or not. (The system works as standalone anyway without it but you could get started with and would grow over time. ) This way you could be...

    Wall mounted tablets

    You could try now with a pi3. You get POE and a raspbian to play around. That plus the touch screen and a case with vesa mount would do the trick for under $100

    Sentinel Facial Recognition: Black Edition - Free for 3 cams

    So far I'm liking it. I basically gave half the resources of the box to docker to run sentinel and kept the rest for windows. The form factor is a very appealing feature for me. I installed both Ubuntu and Windows on it and it runs great on both, although it seems to me it runs a little faster...

    I use mikeboers/PyAV quite a lot for in case you have not seen it. If you are using raspbian, be carefull with the timezone settings and ntp config. What kind of storage are you planning on using?

    Sentinel Facial Recognition: Black Edition - Free for 3 cams

    Thanks you guys!!!! All the feedback made it into the new release. If you have installed already, just run the installer with the upgrade option ticked. Along the things that are new, you can now chose the resolution you want to use for facial (if you have a 4k camera you might choose 4MP for...

    This thread (and the free time) have inspired me. I bought a NUC (no GPU) and will proceed to benchmark how much performance can I get out of the little one. If any of you want to be part of the minimization efforts and have something like an i5 free, please contact me. Also and on a related...

    Just Sharing My Progress

    That image should be good for facial. given you have something to compare against. One note about facial and wide angle cameras. They have some relevant distortion towards the edges, if you must use one for facial only the center region will produce good images.

    Any Opinion on Vivotek and Bosh?

    I have been approached by both to work with them and they look great. However, I wonder why I never see anything about them here. Thoughts?

    As @bp2008 noted, there is very little in terms of public documentation. I tried to remedy this a little bit by resurfacing an old blog we kept. Please let me know if there is something else you find difficult to undestand and I'l try my best to write a little bit about it. Black Edition -...

    Sentinel Facial Recognition: Black Edition - Free for 3 cams

    Detection have to do with a couple different parameters: 1. Min face size, you can check that in the advance settings of the access point. This should be set to 100px. Do you think his face was bigger than that? 2. FPS, as we use more than one frame to confirm. more fps can help us make a...

    It does run, there are only a few quirks but all very manageable. 16.04 is just the most straight forward install You should, I'm happy to help. It does care simple becasue it is the way it consumes the feed. Depending on what you are trying to do I'd be happy to see how we can help.

    Sentinel Facial Recognition: Black Edition - Free for 3 cams

    Just to update this thread. We installed it on a virtual machine on CPU only. it will work fine for one (maybe 2?) cameras. but i would not throw a lot more at it without GPU. The takeaway is that virtualized on CPU it definitely runs for a single camera.

    im not sure 4gb is enough to load both models, we could try on CPU first see how it performs and then try to put some load on the card.

    the 1080 would be more than enough. the i7 should be enough too, specially if we are using the video card. can you pass on the video card to the virtual machine with vmware?
