Have you actually tried it?

Facial Recognition for most cameras simply means it looks for a face and triggers on a face, but it is any face, not specific faces - it is an AI method to try to reduce false triggers. But if it can do it and you are happy with the results, then continue to let the camera do it. BI can simply take the video stream of the camera and let the AI of the camera do the heavy lifting.

Yes, BI can do it. I wouldn't use/trust it for mission critical.

Most of us have found that facial identification is more gimmicky and novelty than anything else. If you have to put in 5 or 10 or 15 or 35 pictures or more 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 hobbies LOL. YMMV.

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 will get a lot of false "confirmations" doing a search.

Someone here posted once how horrible it was inside his house identifying his neighbors and others as him. Another guy his kids and wife were being tagged as him inside the house.

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

As always YMMV and some here use it and say it is acceptable for their use case.

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