So let’s take a look at the top 7 questions you should get answers to before you pay for facial recognition software:      

  • Facial recognition in the current time.  

Clarify and verify the speed of identifying an authorized employee or a person on a setlist. Learn about nuisance trips.

  •  How the monitoring camera will perform in non-ideal conditions.

Test several cameras to understand their effectiveness in non-standard environments.

  •  The video surveillance system has already been installed, but the option of facial recognition needs to be added.

Check which manufacturers’ systems can be used in your case.

  • Recognition function is needed for simultaneous use in several large rooms + control from one point.
