Scan for Faces on Import

Historian can automatically scan for recognized faces when you import new images into the software.

When you import new images using any method, perform the following steps: 

1. Click Import Options from the importing dialog.

2. The Import Options dialog box displays. Click Run Facial recognition on imported images.

Note: This option is only available if facial recognition is available in the vault. To learn more, refer to Turn on Facial Recognition.

3. Click OK to save your changes and continue importing your images. Facial recognition will run as the items are imported into your vault.

Tip: Historian may occasionally miss a face. There are several reasons for this, including

• The face is tilted too far one direction or another.
• Something is obscuring the face, such as sunglasses or a hat.
• The face may be too small relative to the size of the photo, such as in a photo of a large group.
• The face is not looking directly into the camera.

In these cases, you'll need to manually add the missing face.
