Configure Staff Detection

This section describes how to configure the Staff Detection function.

The device supports staff detection by identifying personnel wearing designated accessories.

Limitations: Uncontrollable Factors Affecting Accuracy

When two individuals walk side by side, the device may incorrectly classify the person without a staff accessory as staff, while failing to recognize the actual staff member wearing the accessory.
Clothing with patterns resembling staff lanyards (such as striped designs) may cause false staff detection.
Passing speed exceeding 2.5 m/s may cause missed detection.
Dark floor/carpet (black, grey, etc.) will affect the device to count staffs.

Staff Accessories Requirements:

For detailed requirements regarding staff accessories, refer to the following table.


Item	Requirement
Accessory selection	It is recommended to use the staff accessories provided by Milesight. Staff accessories are available in black and red. Red accessories are recommended for optimal detection against dark-colored staff uniforms.
Usage specifications	Staff accessories must be tested independently and must not be used concurrently. Multiple accessory types are prohibited in the same scene simultaneously.
Wearing requirements	When worn, accessories must remain fully visible and unobstructed by collars, scarves, hair, or any other objects. Staffs must wear these accessories in designated locations. Staff lanyard: Wear it around the neck. Staff badge: Wear it on one side of the upper chest area. Staff epaulet: Wear it on each shoulder. UWB KIT: Wear the tag, refer to VA05 User Guide for the wearing position. (Hardware v2.x supported only)
