About working with video streams

Recording a video stream is a task you may need to perform for further image processing. The recorded video stream will subsequently be divided into individual frames. The most appropriate still images will be later used for facial recognition and getting the best shot.

In LUNA ID, you can record:

• Entire video session
• Only video sessions in which a face was detected in at least one frame

Video stream settings

In LUNA ID, you can configure the following parameters for video stream recording:

• Video stream quality (only in LUNA ID for Android)
• Timeout before starting video recording (only in LUNA ID for iOS)
