FaceDetection API does not detect face more than 10 feet

[Android Central Question]

Hello Guys,

I have used FaceDetectionListner and I tried to detect the face from more than 10 to 12 feet distance, but after 10 feet "onFaceDetection" method not called even on cam face is visible.

Is there any way to detect face more than 10 feet? or Is there any way to improve FaceDetection listener distance?

Thanks

Welcome to Android Central! Hmm, would you really want a face detection unlock to work from >10 feet? Then theoretically, a thief could steal a phone, then surreptitiously hang around the owner from >10 ft away and briefly aim the front-facing camera that way to unlock the phone. So I'd hope that the phone engineers designed it to require the face to be within 1-2 feet of the camera.
