# Recognition Settings

Configure the facial recognition settings in your account to control the accuracy of who is detected by HIVO's facial recongition technology

## What are Recognition Settings?

HIVO's Recognition Settings allow you to fine-tune how the system recognizes faces in uploaded photos or videos. This is useful for tracking important faces, helping you manage the data, usage rights and [consent](/~/changes/eaCuYFhybbREuBouwZp6/consent.md) that relate to the people that appear in your company's photos and videos more effectively.

**Setting up " Settings" in HIVO will help:**

*Using Recognition Settings, you can fine-tune the HIVO system to focus only on important faces, helping you manage your data efficiently and save time.*

| **Minimum Number of Faces to Group** | <ul><li>Set the minimum number of similar faces required to save the face as "Anonymous person". When a face appears enough times as set, it will be saved and you can easily identify that person later on the Recognition page.</li><li>Leave blank to use the default value of 4, suitable for small to medium photo/video uploads.</li><li>If you upload a lot of faces, increase the value to 10 or higher to ensure only faces that appear frequently are saved as "Anonymous".</li></ul> |
| **Minimum Face Matching Size**       | <ul><li>Set the minimum size that a face needs to be recognized by the system. Faces that are too small may not be useful for tracking.</li><li>Leave blank to use the default value of 0%.</li><li>A value of 2% is suitable for ignoring very small faces in a crowd.</li></ul>                                                                                                                                                                                                               |

| **Minimum Face Similarity**          | <ul><li>Set the minimum similarity level required for two faces to be matched. High similarity ensures that similar faces always belong to the same person.</li><li>Leave blank to use the default value of 97%.</li><li>If you upload a small amount of faces, a lower value like 95% may work better for exact matching.</li></ul>                                                                                                                                                            |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.hivo.co/~/changes/eaCuYFhybbREuBouwZp6/client-profile/client-profile-settings/recognition-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
