Taipei, TAIWAN – January 29, 2025 – CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), a pioneer in AI and facial recognition technologies, today announced the latest release of FaceMe Security. A turnkey security and access control solution, FaceMe Security enables identity verification, attendance management, and access control through AI facial recognition, with real-time monitoring and alerts. FaceMe Security is integrated with major VMS providers, enabling them to find people faster with facial recognition powered search investigations.
Enhanced Out-Of-The-Box Experience
FaceMe Security can be used as a standalone software, but it thrives when accompanying an existing video surveillance system. Existing users of Genetec Security Center, Milestone XProtect, Network Optix Nx Witness, and Hanwha Vision Wisenet WAVE can add FaceMe Security to their VMS and gain the benefits of facial recognition real-time notification and access control, all from their current VMS user interface. New updates in version 8.0 improve the setup process with these VMS partners, including step-by-step snapshots to ensure smooth installation and faster PoC process.
New Auto-Detection of IP Cameras and FaceMe Security Central
FaceMe Security 8.0 can automatically detect IP cameras under the same network segment. Auto-detection of the IP cameras reduces technical barriers and simplifies system operation to enhance usability of FaceMe Security. Instead of inputting camera IP addresses one by one, users now can specify a range of IP addresses and do a scan for the IP cameras. For larger projects, auto-detection of the IP cameras accelerates the speed of deployment and provides greater efficiency.
Not only is there now auto-detection of IP cameras, but version 8.0 can also auto-detect the FaceMe Security Central in the same LAN during setup. This improves productivity for users when they must make updates or changes to system settings, and don’t have the IP address on hand.
New Feature: Trigger DIDO by HTTP API
Already supporting access control through integration with automatic door switch DIDO I/O modules and Wiegand protocol, FaceMe Security 8.0 now also incorporates support for devices with HTTP APIs. Since many IP cameras have built-in DIDO modules that can be triggered by API for door access control, version 8.0 allows customers to eliminate the need for a separate DIDO device, helping to reduce costs. Through Axis VAPIX Application API, Axis cameras with DIDO modules can now be triggered by FaceMe Security to open doors for employees in Axis Camera Station. When FaceMe Security detects a person of interest, it can also better alert security staff through DIDO triggers by HTTP API. For example, PATLITE signal tower lights will flash red when a blocklisted person is detected, alerting security staff to something they could have easily missed.
Additional 8.0 Updates
Version 8.0 provides these additional updates to improve the experience for customers and users alike.
- PostgreSQL database support
- Setup guides for MSSQL DB HA and PostgreSQL DB HA
- Improved performance for database update, mass record deletion stability
- Support for Hanwha Vision Wisenet WAVE playback of video footage
- Improved automatic people database synchronization when Genetec Security Center is updated
- Support for API test tool, enabling users to test API directly from the FaceMe Security Console
“Accurate facial recognition is important, but just as important are a smooth installation and positive user experience,” said Mei Guu, President of CyberLink Business Unit 2. “Enabling our customers to easily locate the IP cameras and smoothly enhance their VMS with facial recognition ensures that they can start reaping the benefits of FaceMe Security immediately.”
