situations.

– When the person is too far (over approx. 3 m)

from the camera even when the surrounding area

is bright.

(Depending on the viewing angle or the

conditions when images were viewed, such as

when there are shadows or backlighting, faces

may not be distinguishable even when the person

is within 3 m of the camera.)
– In the late afternoon and at night, or other times

when the surrounding area is dark. (This may

reduce image quality.)
– When people are moving (which causes blurring)

in front of the camera.
