Hi,

Just bought an IPC-T54IR-AS-S3, and playing with the web interface... I would like to see how good is the face detection, but don't know where to start.
There's almost zero documentation about it... or maybe I should be using the camera's web UI?

Yes you would set it up in the GUI.

Keep in mind this is not face recognition. In other words, you can't have it label and tell you if someone specific is at the door.

Rather the face detection algorithm looks for the outline/features of a face and triggers on that.

Does it work with just a camera? I thought it needed an NVR to take advantage of those features.
 
Most of us have found that facial identification 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 inside the house.

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....

What do you think of Dahua's "Uyghur Warnings"?

As always, Your Mileage May Vary (YMMV)

If you have success, please report back.

There is a face mode in the live section, with person cards. What's the purpose of this mode ?

Are you seeing this in the NVR Web interface or the camera GUI?
