Maximum distance a face can be detected (from camera)?

Hello,

I am currently working on a project in which I am trying to detect a person face using OpenCV. I am able to detect the face successfully using the detectMultiScale function as long as the person is less than about 3.5 meters from the camera. Since I am new to OpenCV, I wanted to know if there was a way to increase the distance at which the user can stand? or is this a limitation of the lbpcascade_frontalface.xml file?

Thanks in advance!
