How good is the face detection mode?
A11: Not bad. In face detect mode (as opposed to motion detect mode) Mugshot was able to recognise my face even when I was wearing a hat and wraparound sunglasses. The benefit of face detection is that a picture is taken only when a face is in view, whereas in motion detect mode this is not always the case. This mode can however yield false positives, i.e. my bookcase has been classified as having a face in testing before… For this reason, in face detect mode, there is a limit to the number of pictures Mugshot will take and email during one surveillance session (currently 40).
