Kind of a big deal

I wonder if there are lot of requests for this extra feature. I'm clueless as to which competitor 🙄.

Meraki has built in people counting - but I don't believe face recognition will ever be built in.  There are too many privacy issues involved.

Meraki is based in San Francisco - and San Francisco as a city has introduced a law to ban local Government agencies using facial recognition.  So the issue is very sensitive.

What you can do instead is use the motion capture control instead, and then run it through your own image recognition engine, and track whatever you want.

You can even use an Amazon AWS service to do this if you don't want to do it yourself.
