FAQ
Is face recognition legal for business security use?
Legality varies by jurisdiction. Best practices: post visible signage about face recognition use, use it only for legitimate security purposes (not general customer profiling), maintain configurable data retention, and consult legal counsel for your specific location. iFovea provides full operator control over all recognition data.
How accurate is iFovea face recognition?
Accuracy depends on camera quality, angle, lighting, and image resolution. Best results come from cameras positioned to capture faces at close to straight-on angles with adequate lighting. The system returns confidence scores with every match – operators set their own threshold for alert triggering vs. manual review.
