About: Alta Aware Face search

Last modified: Thursday November 09, 2023.

A common use-case when using a video surveillance system is to look for people seen in one camera view, in other camera views. In this way, you can build up an understanding of where the person entered and left your protected areas, and the route that they took through those areas.

Alta Aware Face search enables you to upload an image, including the face, of a person of interest, and then use the Aware Similarity search to look for matches for that person across all your selected cameras.

In some jurisdictions, the use of facial detection technologies might be restricted or banned. Because of this, the Alta Aware Face search feature is geofenced.

Ensure you enter accurate location information in Aware so that any use of this feature complies with your local legislation. See Reference: Geographic areas for Alta Aware Face search for the list of geographies where the use of Alta Aware Face search is allowed, and How to: Create Sites for information about configuring the location for each site.

Alta Aware Face search is a licensed feature - speak to your Avigilon Alta Partner or Sales representative for more information.
