# Face Recognition Results

The following XML shows a single record produced by face recognition.

    <record>
      ...
      <trackname>facerec.Result</trackname>
      <FaceRecognitionResult>
        <id>69ff21d8-bc3b-44b1-9a47-1eabedb75dd0</id>
        <face>
          ...
        </face>
        <identity>
          <identifier>A N Example</identifier>
          <database>politicians</database>
          <confidence>50.11</confidence>
        </identity>
      </FaceRecognitionResult>
    </record>

The record contains the following information:

- The `id` element contains a unique identifier for the detected face. The face detection engine issues an ID for each detected appearance of a face, and the records output from the face recognition engine use the same IDs as the input records.

- The `face` element contains the location of the detected face. For more information about this data, see Face Detection Results.

- The `identity` element contains information about the recognized face.

  - The `identifier` element provides the identifier of the database entry that matched the face.
  - The `database` element provides the name of the database in which the match was found.
  - The `confidence` element provides the confidence score for the match.

  The `identity` element can be empty when there are no matches that meet the recognition threshold. You can configure Media Server to output only recognized faces by setting `OutputIdentities=Known`.
