Setting up automatic cleanup of faces and related data archives

The procedure for setting up the automatic cleanup of faces and related data archives differs depending on the storage mode (see Faces and related data storage modes).

If the UseFaceDB key is equal to 2 or 1, you should perform the following steps to configure the automatic cleanup of faces and related data archives:

1. Open the Windows registry editor and go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ITV\INTELLECT\Video branch (1).
   
2. Select, double-click and open the Video string parameter (2).
3. In the Value data field, set the allowed archive size in megabytes (3).
4. Click OK to save the changes (4).

Once the allowed archive size is exceeded, the FaceDB folders will be cleaned with 1000 images per day deleted, i.e. every day at 00:00.

If the UseFaceDB key is equal to 1 or 0, you should perform the following steps to configure the automatic cleanup of faces and related data archives:

1. Go to the Hardware tab in the System Settings dialog box (1).
2. Select the Face Recognition Server object in the objects tree (2).
   

3. In the Keep archive of recognized faces (days) field, enter the time period (in days) for which the recognized faces and vectors archive is to be saved (3).

4. Click Apply to save the changes (4).

Once the time specified by this option has expired, the old images and vectors are deleted from the database, i.e. every day at 00:00. All old data collected earlier than the specified period will be deleted.
