Configure Camera Search Settings

Camera settings control how live search behaves during real-time use.

Steps

1. Open the camera page.
2. Open camera settings.
3. Set camera resolution and the face similarity threshold.
4. Set search frequency. The camera folder filter does not correctly restrict the search in 3.13.31; do not rely on it to exclude other folders.
5. If you want to take photos, choose a photo storage folder.
6. Close settings; changes are saved in real time without a separate Save action.

After changing resolution, threshold or frequency, confirm the camera selection again under Video Source → USB Camera so the new connection uses those settings.

Choosing Settings

• If searches must stay within one project, switch to a separate database containing only that project before opening the camera page.
• Increase the interval if the computer is under heavy load.
• Higher resolution and search frequency increase load. A higher face similarity threshold makes matching stricter.

Frequency accepts 1–10 and has two units. A larger value in times/second means more frequent searches; a larger value in seconds/time means a longer interval. For example, two searches per second differs from one search every two seconds. Actual throughput also depends on hardware and the scene.

Common Cases

• If live search is slow, increase the interval or use a smaller dedicated database.
• If results are irrelevant, use a clearer source library or rebuild face data.
• If the camera page does not respond, check whether another task is using the camera.
