The advanced preferences can be exposed and configured by clicking on the icon in the upper right corner and selecting Show Advanced Preferences.

• Allow Remote Viewing: Enables remote monitoring for your mobile device's video feed.
• Environment Configuration
  • Environment: Determines which operating environment your client contacts. The possible values for this field are as follows:
    • SAFR Developer Cloud: Internal use only.
    • SAFR Partner Cloud: Internal use only.
    • SAFR Cloud: Used for cloud deployments. This is a general availability SAFR Server in the cloud maintained by RealNetworks. It is a stable, high availability environment intended for production use.
    • SAFR Custom: Used for on-premises deployments. If you select SAFR Custom, you will be asked to provide the URLs for your primary SAFR Server services.
  • User Directory: The directory in the account where the data used for facial recognition is stored.
  • User Source: The User Source label for this mobile device. All SAFR event data is tagged by site and source labels. These labels are used to help filter and analyze collected recognition events, such as where a face was recognized.
  • User Site: The User Site label for this mobile device. All SAFR event data is tagged by site and source labels. These labels are used to help filter and analyze collected recognition events, such as where a face was recognized.
• Similar Directory: The directory to use when using the Similar operator mode. If this setting is left blank, then the User Directory is used when using Similar mode.
• Enable Active Camera Connect: When enabled, the camera attached to the mobile device remains "active" even when the Mobile Client is minimized. By "active", we mean that SAFR continues detecting and recognizing faces that appear within the camera's video feed. If this setting is disabled, then the mobile device's camera is inactive when the Mobile Client is minimized, thus causing SAFR to not detect or recognize faces appearing in the camera's video feed.
• Version: The SAFR version that's currently running.
