Configuration

Gaze is configured via /etc/gaze/config.toml.

Full example

level = "medium"

[cameras]
rgb = "/dev/video0"

[storage]
users_dir = "/var/lib/gaze/users"
models_dir = "/opt/gaze/models"

[enrollment]
max_captures_per_face = 8

Security levels

The level field selects the detector + recognizer model pair and similarity threshold:

Level	Detector	Recognizer	Threshold	Notes
low	SCRFD-500M	MobileFaceNet	0.30	Fastest
medium	SCRFD-500M	MobileFaceNet	0.40	Default
high	SCRFD-10G	ResNet50	0.50	More accurate
maximum	SCRFD-10G	ResNet50	0.60	Most strict
custom	—	—	—	See below

Custom level

level = "custom"
detector = "det_10g.onnx"
recognizer = "w600k_r50.onnx"
threshold = 0.55

Camera

[cameras]
rgb = "/dev/video0"   # Path to your RGB webcam device

Storage

[storage]
users_dir = "/var/lib/gaze/users"   # Where face embeddings are stored
models_dir = "/opt/gaze/models"     # Where ONNX models are cached

Models are downloaded automatically from InsightFace on first run if not present.

Enrollment

[enrollment]
max_captures_per_face = 8   # Number of angles captured per face during enrollment
