Recommendation for POE wall mounted dome with facial recognition for front door

[mvanders]

Currently have an older Axis dome on the wall and would like to replace with something modern. Facial Recognition is a must. Would like to send auto alerts like "Bill is at the house"
POE is also preferred.
I have a Dahua camera, happy to add to the family or go in a different direction if others have better Facial Recognition
I use a synology for recording but if a NVR is required would get that as well.
Thanks for any recommendations.

Most of us have found that facial recognition is more gimmicky and novelty than anything else. If you have to put in 5 or 10 or 15 or 35 pictures of yourself in the system for it to recognize it is you...then you shouldn't expect much.... My success rate was under 5% so I moved on to other things LOL.

It can work in certain situations like a business that requires everyone to stop in front of the camera and the camera is at head height. Outside of that, the percentage of being accurate is probably not going to be super high. You may have better luck with it at the Front door if it is about 5 feet high with lots of light and not a lot of shadows on the face.

Someone here posted once how horrible it was inside his house identifying his neighbors and others as him.

Unless you spend the big bucks that casinos and airports have LOL.

Heck even in ideal situations like a business with the camera at ideal height and optimal lighting it fails....

What do you think of Dahua's "Uyghur Warnings"?

Good luck. Wish you no ill will. I'm not here to argue with people simply to contribute when and where I can. This is also followed by lending my views on current technology and how it impacts all of us. It's undisputed that splitting of the atom changed the world but once again man decided to...

Sorry for not being clear, this is at head level so view will be straight on in yo face. LOL

And even with straight on face shots, facial recognition, AI, running on a PC is iffy at best.

Consumer grade facial recognition is nothing like you see on TV or the movies. It might get there one day, but take everyone's advice and don't bother with it. You end up spending a lot of time and money on a project that won't reliably identify anyone 95% of the time.

You can certainly try it out with Deepstack or similar AI programs, but consider yourself warned.
