AI-powered facial recognition technology, within Avigilon Control Center (ACC), helps you accelerate response times by quickly identifying people of interest. Facial recognition offers the context to make better-informed decisions that empower you to respond to events proactively.
Customers using Avigilon's AI-powered technologies can have a significant impact on society. That’s why Avigilon takes a more rigorous approach to the application of AI that extends beyond the fundamental tenets of fairness, privacy, understandability, and reliability. The use of facial recognition in Avigilon's technology is "assistive" in that it only uses it to assist humans in performing tasks they are already authorized and allowed to do. When applied correctly, AI is an incredibly powerful tool that can be used to increase the effectiveness of physical security systems, deliver on business outcomes, and improve safety.
People of interest are identified based on one or more secure watch lists managed by authorized users at your organization. Users can populate and manage multiple watch lists by either adding faces from Appearance Search, uploading reference images, or finding appearances of the person through recorded video. The Identity Retention settings also allow face match events and Appearance Search metadata to be aged out ahead of video if desired.
Robust controls within Avigilon’s facial recognition technology governs the accessibility and retention of watch list data. Authorized users are able to add, edit, and manipulate watch lists, while also adjusting the retention periods of watch list profiles.
Avigilon cameras licensed for facial recognition have the ability to detect faces. ACC matches the face comparisons to identify potential matches against the watch list(s). If a match is found, the user is alerted through the Focus of Attention interface within ACC software, helping security personnel quickly determine if further action is necessary.
Avigilon is the first VMS vendor to add native facial recognition technology that is easy to deploy, highly scalable, and affordable. In the future, Avigilon’s Facial Recognition technology will be further developed with expanded functionalities for greater versatility.
Face recognition licenses can be purchased to enable facial recognition for general purpose surveillance systems. This enables deployment across as many cameras as possible, rather than just a limited number of specially positioned cameras, and helps increase the likelihood of detecting a subject of interest.
