Cancel Alerts For Known Faces

[BlueWave]

Currently, have BI + DeepStack running and for the most part, it works great but it's annoying when a family member walks outside to take the trash out thus walking by 6 different cameras and setting the alerts off like crazy. I'd like to receive alerts only when an unknown face is detected but not sure how to go about this. I have the aiinput folder created and put a few clear pictures of each family member along with the BI option to "Save unknown faces to" along with "Facial Recognition" turned on with some faces found in there but not sure how to cancel these known face alerts? Guessing its in the "To Cancel" for each camera but haven't found any guides saying what exactly we need to put in there.

Any tips or tricks you can share?

Most of us have found that the BI/DS integration as it relates to faces is hit or miss at best. Still a major work in progress.

Keep in mind that most of us have found in home settings 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 of yourself in the folder for DeepStack 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. Plus it seemed to be an either/or - either you are able to detect on human or on face, but not both.

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. Especially someone coming to a front door.

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"?

Good luck. Wish you no ill will. I'm not here to argue with people simply to contribute when and where I can. This is also followed by lending my views on current technology and how it impacts all of us. It's undisputed that splitting of the atom changed the world but once again man decided to...

Thanks for the heads up and this makes sense why it's not widely talked about here, just needs some more time for the feature to mature before giving it a shot.

Any ideas on how to prevent 5-10 alerts when someone is passing by 5-10 cameras to take the trash out and all of them are giving push alerts...etc.

I am sure that as it matures it will become a great feature.

One thing you could do is place a timer on the alerts - have it only send you one alert every X minutes. In a lot of field of views, that is sufficient.

You could probably get creative and set up some routines that says if this camera is triggered first then don't trigger these, but then some scenario could come up that would not alert you.
