Avigilon Face Mask Detection Tested

By: Zach Segal and Derek Ward, Published on Jun 24, 2020

Face mask detection or, more specifically not wearing a face mask, is an expanding offering in the midst of coronavirus. Avigilon has now released theirs but how well does it work?

IPVM Image

Inside this note, we share our findings across:

  • How Avigilon’s mask detection performed in evenly-lit, low-light, IR, and WDR scenes
  • How can it be monitored
  • What type of issues Avigilon had with people spoofing masks
  • How Avigilon's performance compares against Dahua, Hikvision and ZKTeco tablet face mask detection
