4. Device Version
In this article I used with 2 devices:

- Camera: IPC-HF8242FP-FR

5. Note
I have checked very carefully, when using the face recognition function in combination with the video recorder, there are the following problems:
- Cannot be identified according to the database on the DVR, only the database directly on the Camera can be used.
- The recorder can alarm according to the successful identification results, without warning. Follows strangers.
- Cannot extract face detection report on Camera (not supported).
