Facial settings
In the Facial Settings screen, you can adjust all definitions related to cameras, videos, and facial identification criteria. To access it, follow the path [MENU] -> [FACIAL SETTINGS].
General settings
On the main screen, press [MENU] -> [FACIAL SETTINGS] -> [GENERAL SETTINGS]. The screen for defining parameters related to general facial identification settings will be displayed:
Mask detection
This feature allows you to authorize or deny users based on whether they are wearing a mask. If the function is disabled, access will be granted or denied regardless of whether the user is wearing a mask. If it is set to "Wearing a mask is mandatory", access will only be granted to users wearing a mask. Additionally, there is a third option "Wearing a mask is recommended" where access can be granted without a mask, but a message will be displayed to the user recommending mask use.
Identification distance
Allows you to set a distance at which the user's face will typically be identified.
Detection Mode
This feature offers the possibility of using facial recognition in two different modes: vehicular and pedestrian. The pedestrian mode is the usual mode and is the factory default. The vehicular mode allows the recognition of people in vehicles. If the device is installed in a location where detection will be done on users inside vehicles, this function should be enabled for proper user recognition.
Liveness
By clicking "Next" in the general settings menu, a new screen is shown, as seen in the image below:
On this screen, you can define the strictness of Liveness identification. The Normal mode is the factory default and should be used in normal environments. The Rigorous mode should be used for environments with poor lighting conditions.
Limit identification to display region
When enabled, iDFace will only identify faces within the video frame displayed on the screen.
Keep user image
When enabled, user photos are stored after their enrollment. If disabled, user photos are deleted immediately after enrollment and are only used to generate the facial recognition template.
Time to grant access to the same face
This setting allows you to adjust the time before the same user can be re-identified after the last facial identification, i.e. the time that the device will wait before considering a new identification with the face positioned in front of the device without the user leaving. The factory default for this parameter is "30000," corresponding to 30 seconds, as the unit of the parameter is milliseconds.
Note that this setting differs from the Time-Based Anti-Passback setting.
White LED brightness level
By clicking "Next" in the general settings menu, a new screen is presented, as seen in the image below:
This setting allows you to define the ambient brightness level necessary for the white LEDs to light up during identification. There are 4 possible options for lighting: "low", "medium", "high", and "any" (which will stay always on regardless of the environment).
LED brightness
Allows you to set the brightness of the white LEDs. By default, the brightness is set to 100, which corresponds to the maximum brightness as the parameter is a percentage.
Finally, on the last page, it is possible to enable/disable the sending of user access images to the Monitor server.
Region of Interest
On the main screen, press [MENU] -> [FACIAL SETTINGS] -> [REGION OF INTEREST]. The screen for adjusting the region of interest displayed on the device will be shown. This function allows you to adjust the device's camera to define the area where the user's face should be identified. Two adjustments can be made: Zoom and Vertical Image Shift.
Cameras
On the main screen, press [MENU] -> [FACIAL SETTINGS] -> [CAMERAS]. A screen with three menus for camera diagnostics, streaming definitions, and camera calibration will be displayed:
Diagnostics
On this screen, you can check the status of the RGB and IR cameras.
Video streaming
The iDFace access controller can transmit video streaming from its camera via the RTSP and ONVIF protocols.
RTSP streaming
Once this feature is enabled, you need to configure an RTSP client (such as VLC Media Player or Windows Media Player) to access the device at the endpoint /main_stream. It is important to note that this feature is disabled by default and comes without credentials. To enable them, follow the configuration instructions provided.
RTSP port
You can also configure the port used for transmission. The default port is "554."
Enable audio
It is possible to configure the enable/disable of audio. By default, this setting is disabled.
Credential configuration
You can register a username and password so that the transmission is only enabled after entering the correct username and password.
Camera configuration
You can also change the camera used for video transmission. The default camera is the RGB camera, but it can be changed to the infrared (IR) camera.
Codec configuration
Additionally, you can change the video codec used for transmission. The default codec is MJPEG, but it can be changed to H.264.
ONVIF streaming
The iDFace device can also transmit video streaming from its camera via the ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) standard, which is widely recognized and used by various surveillance camera and recorder manufacturers.
To validate ONVIF Streaming on the device, you can use the ONVIF Device Manager.
ONVIF configurations
Attention: All configuration changes listed below will only take effect after restarting the device.
First, it is important to note that ONVIF standard transmissions are carried out using the RTSP protocol in the background. Therefore, ensure that RTSP is properly configured to guarantee that ONVIF transmission occurs without errors. ONVIF transmission will only work if RTSP is active and operating correctly.
Additionally, it is important to know that ONVIF uses its default credentials: "admin" for both login and password.
Port configuration
You can also configure the port used for transmission. The default port is "8000."
Enable audio
It is possible to configure the enable/disable of audio. By default, this setting is disabled.
Camera calibration
Finally, you can calibrate the camera. To do this, go to [MENU] -> [FACIAL SETTINGS] -> [CAMERAS] -> [CAMERA CALIBRATION] and follow the instructions shown on the iDFace display. For the best results, it is strongly recommended to calibrate the camera.
