Fast Access (face recognition) CPU usage

My main concern is it takes forever to initialize the camera when the computer boots up to the login screen. By the time the camera is ready and unlocks my computer, I can already type in my password to unlock it. Even after the camera initializes, it still takes a couple seconds to detect my face even when the lighting is good and I am sitting in front of the laptop. It some times tells to move closer and put my palm on the keyboard even if I am already doing that. I just decided to uninstall the program and type in my password to log in. I don't think it is the fault of FA as Windows need to load the drivers for the camera and everything else, even with an SSD. Overall impression of FA, it is a good software.

 

Sorry that you're having difficulties. If you'd like to try again, please contact us (Sensible Vision) directly so we can provide support. RDP is supported and should not cause errors. We'll start by having you upgrade...2.4.95 is fairly outdated at this point. If you have other concerns we would be happy to help address them too.

 

Thank you for your balanced assesment. You're assessment is correct as far as I can tell. Windows controls what components load in what order during boot-up. FastAccess itself needs to load (which is very fast, especially on an SSD) as does the camera driver (time depends on the driver itself and the system overall).

If you haven't tried it already, I recommend setting FastAccess to "User Switching" mode and trying the web login feature. Most people boot their systems very infrequently, but log in to websites all the time. The time you save there should more than make up for an extra few seconds during boot. It's by a large margin the most popular (and IMO useful) feature.

If you occasionally get a message to move closer, try zooming the camera just a bit instead. That might help.

 

sorry for saying that but i have to tell the truth, i have a lenovo g470 also and the
facial recognition they use is way better, it´s called Veriface... it works fast and unlocks the notebook everytime it´s sees me.
The graphic interface is way better.
I tryed to login with a picture and it didn´t let me in. I tryed the same with dells fastacess and i got in in the first try. (same picture for both systems)

 

Thank you for your thoughts Wendiko, If you would like, I would be happy to chat with you directly about FastAccess. Sensible Vision takes tech support quite seriously. Although 100% recognition is never possible (and it should not be - 100% recognition is only possible if the criteria for a match are set too low to be used for security), FastAccess should - through it's learning algorithm - still recognize you the vast majority of the time. If this has not been your experience then it's very likely that I can quickly identify why and assist.

Regarding photos, FastAccess does, in fact, have industry leading photo rejection with many options to increase it's strength based on your particular security needs. I won't go into the details here, but here are a few FAQs on the subject. When we speak, I would like to go through the details of your test and we can go from there. Thanks.

Can someone break into my account using a photograph of me?
Under what conditions COULD someone use a photograph of me to gain access to my account?
What about a “brute force” photo attack?

I look forward to speaking with you soon. Call or email me using any of the addresses on our website.
