Facebase

Facebase is your watchlist — the profiles the NVR matches against and the records behind your alerts.

Profiles

A profile represents an individual you have a lawful reason to recognise. Each profile holds one or more enrolled face images plus metadata (notes, ban status, bounty/priority).

Enrolling a face. Upload a clear, front-facing image. Images are resized to 1080px at high quality before processing; portrait crops favour the upper portion of the frame, landscape images are centre-squared. More than one good image per profile improves match reliability.

Only enrol individuals you can lawfully process, and keep entries proportionate and current — see Compliance.

Ban status

Profiles carry a ban status with three valid values:

• active — currently banned.
• expired — the ban period has lapsed.
• revoked — the ban was lifted.

These are the only accepted values; anything else is rejected.

Detections

When the NVR matches a face against an active profile, it creates a detection tied to the site and camera. Detections drive alerts and can be linked into incidents.

Manual search (mobile)

From the mobile app, frontline staff can run a one-off search of a captured face against your Facebase. This uses cloud face search and counts toward your monthly search quota (see Billing). Continuous NVR detection does not consume search quota.

Thresholds

Search and matching use cosine similarity with permissive (0.35), default (0.45), and strict (0.55) thresholds. See NVR & Camera Setup for guidance on choosing one.

Acting on matches

A match is a probability, not a fact. Never make a decision with legal or significant effect on a person on a match alone — a trained human must review first.
