How to count the number of faces detected in live video by openCV using python?

I need to count the number of faces in a video taken from webcam.For example,if I am standing in front of the camera then count=1,now if any other person is detected then count=2,if another person is detected then the count should be 3. This is the code: import cv2 import sys cascPath = sys.argv[1] faceCascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(cascPath) video_capture = cv2.VideoCapture(0) while True: # Capture frame-by-frame ret, frame = video_capture.read() gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY) faces = faceCascade.detectMultiScale( gray, scaleFactor=1.1, minNeighbors=5, minSize=(30, 30), flags=cv2.cv.CV_HAAR_SCALE_IMAGE ) # Draw a rectangle around the faces for (x, y, w, h) in faces: cv2.rectangle(frame, (x, y), (x+w, y+h), (0, 255, 0), 2) # Display the resulting frame cv2.imshow('Video', frame) if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'): break video_capture.release() cv2.destroyAllWindows() I am using frontal_face_haarcascade.xml by opencv in python. I can detect faces in frame and then increase the count, but what's happening is that the count is increasing as the number of frames.So, even if 1 person was detected standing for 10 sec, it shows count as some '67' How can I overcome this problem.
