Best view (face recognition)
This camera is capable of face recognition when used with
TANDBERG C90 Codecs. Observe that the feature is still a preview
feature. Consequently, the functionality is subject to change without
further notice in order to take advantage of further developments.
The face recognition system aims to search for faces in order to
optimize the picture frame, hence the name Best View. Once a face
or group of faces has been detected camera zoom and camera angle
will be changed accordingly to obtain an optimal presentation on the
screen.
Kindly obser ve the following :
• The Best View optimization process may take up to 5 seconds.
• The detection of faces works better when people look towards the
camera.
• The area from the eyebrows down to just below the lips should be
uncovered.
• Beard is normally not a problem.
Using Best View
Note that Best View works with TANDBERG C90 Codecs only!
