For starters, you're hijacking a thread on a topic not even remotely related...

OK, serious it is then. Do you have any other recommendations on software to use for facial recognition then if not bi/DS?

I'm uncertain if you are being sarcastic or sincere...

OH, trust me - as a new user, I'm all about minimizing complexity. However, when functionality is impacted as part of that effort, well.... I'm not sure that's really a benefit for anyone? I'll have a read though those and see what I can come up with. Thank you for steering me in the right...

Ah, OK - perhaps that's where I've gone astray. Can you provide more information, or a link, or point me in the right direction of how I might go about using one of these add ons, and can I still feed that identification information back to home assistant using Mqtt or something similar?

Hrmm.. Perhaps my terminology is incorrect? If so, please forgive me, I am a n00b at all this camera stuff. I found an article somewhere, I forget where, with someone that figured out you can use postman to post multiple images to the same userid in deepstack. I tried it and it worked. Then...

Not really.... Using deepstack ui, I can upload test images once I've trained it. Deepstack does a relatively decent job. Obviously, the more sample images, the better it does. This is relatively easy to test using photos from social media. Just grab a bunch of examples of people, then give it...

I'm aware. But when I create the ID by training deepstack by posting images to the api, blue iris is unable to honor those ids, and further, it deletes them if you click the "faces" button from within the settings.

Well, I am and I'm not. The responsiveness of the camera streams into home assistant is not as good as blue iris, and it doesn't do facial recognition. It does, however, allow me to do 2 way audio with my doorbells.. As for the loading each face and naming them differently... Wow. Tedious and...

While I appreciate both of your attempts at telling me how poorly you think it works, what I am looking for is the answer to the question that I asked. I'm already using ubiquiti cameras with a dream machine pro, which does good enough with person vs not person - meaning that I'm not sure buying...

I posted this over on the Blue Iris forum as well, but this place seems to get a lot more traffic, so I'm hoping someone here can help me. I'm using the Blue Iris eval version right now, I've got like 13 days left on it before I decide if this is the solution for me. Should be plenty of time...
