I think the main problem with this is that a face can only be captured accurately (90% confidence interval) when it comprises at least 300 pixels, which is like 6-7 feet away from a 1080p camera (it can do it a little farther away at a lower confidence). So, if we turn off person detection and a person walks by 10 feet away, we won’t get any notification at all. The way it SHOULD work is that it gives face detection priority…if it recognizes a face, then it should just report the name of the face in the notification, if it doesn’t then it alerts that a person was detected. If we turn off person detection then we will miss notifications for everyone that doesn’t walk right up to the camera within a few feet. So that’s not a viable long-term solution.
Still, it is certainly something worth trying.
Wildbill, you have some V3’s don’t you? The most recent Fix-it-Friday update indicated it should now be working for all V3 cams:
If yours aren’t working, will you try submitting a log in the Fix-it-Friday thread with the above info and we’ll make sure someone can check into it? V3’s and VDBv2 should all be working now and they will be getting through all the other camera models now.
