Chapter 5 Face Application
5.1 Introduction
The face applications include face capture, face picture comparison, and face picture search. The
face alarms can be triggered by captured face pictures and face picture comparison results and
uploaded by Hikvision cameras (including capture cameras and DeepinView series cameras), and
then you can receive them on Milestone XProtect Smart Client.

Face alarms contain face capture alarms and face picture comparison alarms. The face capture
alarm is triggered when a human face is detected and captured in a specific monitoring area, and
the captured face picture will be uploaded. The face picture comparison alarm is triggered if the
similarity of the detected face picture and the face picture in the library reaches a threshold.
Note
● Make sure you have installed and loaded the Hikvision-mngt-plugin. For details, refer to Install
Hikvision-mngt-plugin .
