Person Recognition
With person recognition on, people are detected on every camera in the place, recorded, and grouped into People cards. Person recognition is on by default in new places.
- On the Settings tab, click the Person recognition row.
- Turn it on or off with the switch at the top, and choose values for the items you want to change.
- Click Save on the save bar at the bottom of the screen.
| Setting | What it does | When to change |
|---|---|---|
| Detection accuracy | The precision of the analysis that finds people and vehicles. Higher precision puts more load on the device. | Fast on a Raspberry Pi, Accurate on a PC or Jetson |
| Threshold | How confident detection must be to count an object as a person. | Strict if mannequins or posters are detected |
Note
Detection accuracy shares its value with vehicle and animal recognition; changing it on one screen changes it on the others.
At least one of person, face, vehicle, and animal recognition must stay on, so the switch cannot be turned off while person recognition is the only one on.
Options, defaults, and turning person recognition off
- Detection accuracy: Fast, Balanced (default), or Accurate.
- Threshold: Loose, Normal (default), or Strict. Does not affect speed.
- Turning person recognition off pauses items with a person condition, and the list on the Actions tab shows Stopped: person recognition is off. Person boxes are no longer shown on the Live and History tabs.
- When person recognition and face recognition are both off, People is not shown on the History tab.
