OSINT for cameras?

[Kk9]

Are there OSINT techniques specific to camera operation?
I'm wondering if there's a public database with known criminals/various "offenders" with facial data, having an API for BI (probably cost incurring), that in turn would alert you specifically for anyone caught on your cameras with a record using facial recognition.

Keep in mind that most of us have found in home settings that facial recognition is more gimmicky and novelty than anything else.

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. Especially someone coming to a front door.

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...

Another way to look at this ever changing technology is to simply use it as a face capture system. Think of it like any other LPR system that stores license plates into a database for later review.
