Multiple faces recognition

visemod — Sun, 15 Jan 2023 11:32:14 GMT

Hi all! I'm considering activating a Nest Aware subscription, but would like to know more before trying it out.

Does the Face Recognition feature which becomes available for a camera once the Nest Aware subscription is enabled allow the camera to recognise several faces if multiple people appear in a coverage area? If so, how does the Google Home notify about this, e.g. by mentioning each person's name in a notification or just the first one?

1. facial recognition BARELY works. It won't recognize if you have on a hoodie or a cap. 2. It will just pick out someone random and will not say everyone in the group. Avoid the subscription - it's worthless - just like the product.

Hey visemod,

Yep — that's correct. You can check out this link to learn more about Familiar face detection.

Thanks,

Hi Archie,

The article you've shared doesn't tell nothing about whether the face recognition works for multiple people. This was the reason why I've created this post.

@visemod

These devices have difficulties recognizing if a very large crowd is in front of the camera. It may pick up faces that it is familiar with, but may not pick up everyone there. If you have familiar faces enabled, and there are people there who are well-known by your device, it should at least pick those up. It may not be perfect in a group or crowd of people, though. I hope that helps.

Best regards,

Brad

So may I conclude thinking that the Face Recognition doesn't work in case of more than one person show up in front of the camera?

@visemod

Generally, no, that is not going to work well. It cannot pick up multiple faces at once.

Best regards.
