Utility Management

When Face Vision successfully recognizes a face, it can trigger external devices such as access control systems, indicator lights, or alarms. The system executes predefined actions—like unlocking doors or sending alerts—based on configured trigger rules.

A.【Management/Action Interval】 ⇒ There are two function pages: 'Management' and 'Action Interval'. See below.

• Management: The system provides eight types of utilities for sending notifications or alarms to external utilities. It allows users to perform CRUD operations on this page.
• Action Interval: The ‘Action Interval’ feature must be used in conjunction with the ‘Action Trigger’ function. It allows the ‘Action Trigger’ to have a pause time between each trigger action and the next.

> For example:

• There are two HTTP Command utilities, namely HTTP Command_A and HTTP Command_B. The Action Interval is set to 10 seconds, and the action interval behavior is as follows:
• Suppose HTTP Command_A meets the trigger conditions every second. It triggers the first action at 13:00:10. Due to the 10-second action interval restriction, the next action can only be triggered at 13:00:20.

> Suppose HTTP Command_B also meets the trigger conditions every second. It triggers the first action at 13:00:15. Due to the 10-second action interval restriction, the next action can only be triggered at 13:00:25. In other words, although HTTP Command has only one Action Interval setting, each HTTP Command utility operates independently. Each action trigger follows its own action interval based on its individual trigger time, without being affected by others.
