Face Detection Configuration

Application Guide

For a complete walkthrough with code examples, see the Face Detection & Recognition application guide.

GetSmartVfdConfig

Retrieves face detection configuration for the specified channel.

Field	Value
Endpoint	/GetSmartVfdConfig[/channelId]
Method	POST or GET
Products	IPC
Channel ID	Optional (default 1)

Response

The response returns the face detection configuration in the same XML format used by other smart detection commands. The structure follows the standard <config> wrapper with detection-specific settings.

Notes

• Face detection is available on Viewtron AI cameras with face detection firmware.
• The API guide defines the endpoint but does not include a detailed response example for this command. Use GetSmartVfdConfig against your camera to see the full XML structure for your firmware version.
• The corresponding Set command is SetSmartVfdConfig using the same XML structure returned by the Get command.
• Face detection webhook events use smartType value VFD (IPC format) or faceDetection (NVR format).
