In this section:

Generic Confidence Threshold

FindFace verifies that selected faces belong to the same person (i.e. match), based on the pre-defined similarity threshold. The default threshold is set to the optimum value. If necessary, you can change it.

Note

The higher is the threshold, the less are chances that a wrong person will be positively verified, however, some valid photos may also fail verification.

Tip

You can configure the confidence thresholds individually for each camera group and watch list.

Important

The default generic confidence threshold is optimal for the majority of recognition cases. We do not recommend changing it on your own. Be sure to consult with our technical experts prior (support@ntechlab.com).

Thumbnail JPEG Quality

Subject to JPEG quality, thumbnails may take up a significant amount of disc volume. Use the General tab to configure the parameter.
