辦公室、物流中心、校園或者多分店場地,保安團隊想提升出入管理,未必只係「加幾部鏡頭」咁簡單。當人面識別系統接入門禁及閉路電視流程,企業要同時考慮部署成本、網絡中斷時點運作、警報由邊個跟進,以及員工和訪客的個人資料點樣處理。

CyberLink 近期公布 FaceMe Security 8.9.2 更新,當中一個重點係配合指定 Axis ARTPEC-9 攝影機,將人面識別處理放到攝影機端執行;同時加入 AI 輔助紀錄查詢及較完整的警報處理流程。對香港企業而言,值得留意的唔止係新功能,而係它帶出部署架構同日常營運要一齊規劃。

相機端處理可以減少甚麼部署負擔?

以往部分人面識別部署,需要在每個場地安排專用工作站處理識別運算。CyberLink 表示,FaceMe Security ACAP 應用程式可在兼容的 Axis ARTPEC-9 攝影機上執行人面偵測及 1:N 身分比對,毋須另外配置識別工作站。對多據點企業,這種架構有機會減少每個位置的額外硬件、安裝及維護工作。

但要留意,官方說明的「100% on-camera」只適用於 ARTPEC-9 攝影機,並唔代表所有 Axis 型號都支援。項目評估時應逐一核對攝影機型號、韌體、ACAP 相容性、現有 VMS 整合方式,以及中央管理伺服器的容量。FaceMe Security Central 仍負責人員資料登記、名單管理和識別事件檢視;官方列出的部署方式包括本地部署,或託管在客戶自己的雲端環境。

網絡斷線時,門口會否即刻「失明」?

更新資料指出,當網絡連線中斷,攝影機上的人面識別仍可繼續運作,連線恢復後紀錄會自動同步;儲存在攝影機上的資料亦有加密保護。這對倉庫、工廈、偏遠場地或網絡環境較複雜的分店,係一個值得在測試階段驗證的設計。

不過,企業唔應只睇「離線仍可識別」一句。要實際測試斷線期間可以執行哪些流程、紀錄會保留幾耐、恢復連線後同步是否完整,以及攝影機斷電或硬件故障時有沒有備援安排。亦要釐清中央管理、門禁控制器及現有錄影系統各自的依賴關係,避免某個環節停頓便影響整個出入流程。

AI 查紀錄有用,但警報責任更要清楚

FaceMe Security 8.9.2 支援兼容 AI Agent 透過 MCP Server,以自然語言搜尋、分析及整理識別紀錄。官方例子包括整理當日人面識別事件、找出沒有入場紀錄的員工,或者準備每週報告及交更摘要。客戶可按自身政策在本地部署 MCP Server,方便配合內部資料管理要求。

AI 摘要可以幫手減少人手翻查紀錄,但唔應取代保安主管判斷。新版本亦加入警報處理流程,讓團隊為警報指定負責人、設定優先次序、記錄處理結果,再由覆核人員確認後關閉。香港企業可先定義警報級別、當值安排、升級路線及結案條件,否則系統即使識別到事件,都可能因為無人接手而失去作用。

人面資料涉及私隱,部署前要做足評估

香港個人資料私隱專員公署的生物辨識資料指引指出,人面特徵等生物辨識資料屬個人資料。企業應先確認收集資料是否有明確目的及實際需要,並考慮是否有較少侵犯私隱的替代方法。若決定採用,應向受影響人士清楚交代用途及安排,限制資料存取、使用和轉移,定期清理不再需要的資料,並採取加密等保安措施。

因此,部署人面識別門禁前,建議由 IT、保安、人力資源及私隱負責人一齊完成私隱影響評估。要寫清楚收集哪些資料、用作甚麼用途、哪些人可查閱、會保留多久、是否交由服務供應商處理,以及員工或訪客有沒有其他出入選項。若涉及外判商或雲端服務,亦要檢查合約中的資料處理、保留及事故通報安排。

香港企業 PoC 可以跟住這份清單

  • 先核對硬件:確認攝影機型號及 ARTPEC-9 相容性,並評估現有 VMS、門禁系統和網絡架構。
  • 測試真實場景:用不同光線、角度、人流及出入口位置測試識別表現,並記錄誤接受和誤拒絕情況。
  • 模擬網絡中斷:測試離線識別、紀錄保存、重新連線同步及設備故障時的替代流程。
  • 設計警報營運:指定事件負責人、優先級、處理時限、升級安排及覆核要求。
  • 完成私隱檢查:確認收集目的、告知安排、資料存取權限、保留期限、刪除流程及供應商責任。

人面識別系統是否值得投資,唔應只看識別速度或攝影機數量。對香港企業來說,真正要比較的是整體硬件成本、現場可用性、警報處理效率,以及個人資料管理是否有清晰制度。先用一個出入口或一個分店做 PoC,再按測試結果決定擴展範圍,會比一次過全面部署更容易控制風險。
