General feedback, import records show Security Camera King to be using mostly TVT and some Dahua, by volume, as the attached screencap shows:

This camera looks to be a Dahua.

This would be a good low light camera, right? But what systems can use the features like Face Capture?

Will anyone ever be able to produce a consumer software program that could have features like face capture? I read here that Blue Iris being a one man show is very unlikely to ever get to that level.

You can get a Dahua T5442 series, 4MP and 2.8, 3.6 or 6mm, for less money from Andy, empiretcandy. With that you're assured of support if there's a problem AND being able to upgrade the firmware if or when needed. I have one and can run full color at night, if I want to, with just ambient light from a street light about 200 feet away.

Every camera has face capture. If you mean face detection it’s a gimmic. The blue iris developer had already integrated third party AI so I don’t see why he won’t continue to do so as indicated in the release notes for v5.

I agree that face capture is a gimmick, more or less. If motion detection is properly set up and the camera is continuously recording, face capture is in the realm of redundancy, but it sure sounds cool, huh. Bottom line is that any system that accepts ONVIF triggers, like Blue Iris, can utilize face capture.
