Abstract
A smart badge, and a method, system and computer program product for badge detection and compliance are disclosed. The method, carried out within a security system, includes capturing, using a camera, an image of a person. The captured image includes a face of the person within a first pixel region of the image. The method also includes performing facial recognition on the first pixel region to determine an identity of the person. The method also includes performing video analytics, on a second pixel region of the image, different than the first pixel region, to make a first determination that the identified person is wearing a badge, or to make a second determination that no badge is being properly worn by the identified person. The method also includes generating an alert, specific to the identified person, within the security system based at least in part on the first or second determination.
