Betaface
Facial recognition and face detection API that can run as a biometric step inside your Zenoo flows.
At a glance
Overview
Betaface overview
Betaface offers a REST API for face detection, matching, and basic facial attribute analysis. It suits prototypes, demos, and low-volume projects that need simple face detection without heavy integration. For regulated, high-volume onboarding, pair it with a dedicated identity provider inside Zenoo.

Where Betaface fits, and what to plan for.
Honest notes on the trade-offs, each with a way to cover the gap inside a Zenoo flow.
- Non-regulated prototypes and demos
- Low-volume projects with basic face detection needs
- Accuracy varies across use cases. Some reports suggest accuracy is uneven on diverse ID types and at higher volumes. In Zenoo, route regulated onboarding through a proven biometrics provider and keep Betaface for non-critical detection.
- Documentation and support. Some community reports describe dated documentation and slow email-only support. Zenoo's single connector and fallback routing reduce the impact if a check does not return cleanly.
- Compliance certifications. Published detail on formal certifications is limited. For regulated flows, pair Betaface with a certified identity provider in Zenoo so the compliance evidence trail stays intact.

The Betaface result, beside everything else.
The result sits with screening and review on one case, so nobody checks a second tool to see the whole customer.
Hands it to your team
Verification is the first step. Compliance Hub handles the rest.
Once a customer is verified, screening and review happen in Compliance Hub. A possible PEP match lands in your team inbox with the evidence and the full history beside it. Zenoo suggests, your team decides.
