I have a door camera that triggers using deepstack when someone approaches from probably 15 feet from camera, too far for facial recognition.. is there a setting to get deep stack to rescan motion even if the original alert is still active.. otherwise I dont see how facial recognition can be useful in my senerio

Add more + real time images for it to scan and put something in the to cancel box that you wouldn't see like a giraffe so that it forces it to use all of the images.

If you really want it for facial recognition like to identify specific people, most of us have found that facial recognition is more gimmicky and novelty than anything else. If you have to put in 5 or 10 or 15 or 35 pictures or more of yourself in the system for it to recognize it is you...then you shouldn't expect much.... My success rate was under 5% so I moved on to other things LOL.

It can work in certain situations like a business that requires everyone to stop in front of the camera and the camera is at head height. Outside of that, the percentage of being accurate is probably not going to be super high. You will get a lot of false "confirmations" doing a search.

Someone here posted once how horrible it was inside his house identifying his neighbors and others as him. Another guy his kids and wife were being tagged as him.

Unless you spend the big bucks that casinos and airports have LOL.

Heck even in ideal situations like a business with the camera at ideal height and optimal lighting it fails....

No it is good to play with it. You might have a perfect field of view that it is 10% correct LOL.

I learned a lot about how the triggers and alerts and stuff work by trying facial recognition, so it isn't a complete waste to try it.

Just don't use it to unlock your doors or open the garage door LOL.

So do you add a bunch of photos of each person and have to add each pic name to the "to confirm" box? Example: me,me1,me2....

Yep have to name each one, so recommend you do as you said NAME#, but there is a wildcard to use for the person in the alert, but I forget what it was maybe * or %
