The number of face identities in the database(s) that you want to run face recognition against.
If the value of MaxFaces is less than the number of faces in the database, the process action does not start. If you expect faces to be added to the database while the face recognition task runs, you should set MaxFaces to the expected total number of faces after the additional faces have been added.
The channels used to run a process action are determined as follows:
process action does not start unless the correct number of visual channels are available. Media Server requires one visual channel for all visual analytics including face detection and recognition with up to 250,000 faces. If you want to run face detection and recognition against a database of more than 250,000 faces, Media Server requires an additional visual channel for each additional 250,000 faces. For example, running face detection and recognition with a database of 700,000 faces requires three visual channels.| Type: | Integer |
