ArcSoft, a global leader of image-intelligent technologies, today announced the immediate availability of its Face Recognition technology included, as a beta, in simplicam® powered by Closeli®. Setting the stage for a completely connected home, simplicam is the first and only home monitoring Wi-Fi video camera with both Face Detection and Face Recognition capabilities, enabling unprecedented privacy features such as choosing to automatically delete footage if a specific person is recognized, and the ability to set alerts only if an unrecognized person is in the home. Later this month, simplicam will also include Detection Zones, enabling users to customize motion and face alerts based on specific areas of a room.
The new Face Recognition Manager in the Closeli app allows users to register and store up to 10 people at a time. After a two-minute setup, users can configure privacy settings for each individual and customize notifications, choosing to receive alerts when a specific registered person or an unrecognized person is in the house. The app can be set to automatically save or delete footage based on who is home. In addition, the free Closeli app update with Face Recognition includes a feedback button that allows users to provide feedback directly from within the app. Ideas, suggestions and feedback from users may be included in future versions of the product.
“ArcSoft is a pioneer in Face Detection and Face Recognition technology, and we are excited to bring this expertise to the connected home. When we released simplicam powered by Closeli earlier this year, we got invaluable feedback from customers and press. Now, new and current users can provide us with feedback directly from within the Closeli app that may be incorporated into the product,” said Caroline Tien-Spalding, Senior Director of Marketing, ArcSoft.
simplicam powered by Closeli sets up easily on a smartphone in less than three minutes. Users can enjoy live, 720p HD video and motion/sound notifications through the free Closeli app on their mobile devices, or on the web via a Mac or PC. Premium Closeli Recording Services provide enhanced features, such as recording in the cloud, easy editing and sharing options and unique Face Detection and Face Recognition technology.
