That said, eufy has doubled down in two areas that a lot of homeowners take very seriously — video quality and advanced features like face recognition. The eufyCam 3’s new 4K video quality is excellent and a huge improvement over the sometimes grainy eufyCam 2. eufy’s face recognition tech, Bionic Mind™, though a work in progress, was more than capable. Honestly, many of you will probably buy this Windows Hello webcam and simply not miss the more expensive alternatives. About the only feature you may miss in this 1080p, 30fps webcam is autofocus capability, and most fixed-focus webcams are tuned for the average distance (in the HelloCam’s case, between 12.4 and 47.2 inches) that someone sits from their laptop or display. The field of view is a relatively narrow 90 degrees. Mason, Susan E. (September 27, 2007). "Age and gender as factors in facial recognition and identification".

Critics of the technology complain that the London Borough of Newham scheme has, as of 2004, [update] never recognized a single criminal, despite several criminals in the system's database living in the Borough and the system has been running for several years. "Not once, as far as the police know, has Newham's automatic face recognition system spotted a live target." [148] [174] This information seems to conflict with claims that the system was credited with a 34% reduction in crime (hence why it was rolled out to Birmingham also). [175] Although it doesn’t record in stunning 4K resolution, the Nest Cam delivers clear, high-quality 1080p HDR video, making it a strong contender for both indoor and outdoor surveillance.

Recognition algorithms can be divided into two main approaches: geometric, which looks at distinguishing features, or photo-metric, which is a statistical approach that distills an image into values and compares the values with templates to eliminate variances. Some classify these algorithms into two broad categories: holistic and feature-based models. The former attempts to recognize the face in its entirety while the feature-based subdivide into components such as according to features and analyze each as well as its spatial location with respect to other features. [40] Facial recognition is a way of identifying or confirming an individual’s identity using their face. Facial recognition systems can be used to identify people in photos, videos, or in real-time. So not only should your camera have simple infrared, it should support color night vision and the video quality and range has to be top-notch and it shouldn’t depend on ambient light for clarity.

One method that may work to protect from facial recognition systems are specific haircuts and make-up patterns that prevent the used algorithms to detect a face, known as computer vision dazzle.

In 2019, researchers reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement uses facial recognition software against state driver's license databases, including for some states that provide licenses to undocumented immigrants.

The software was donated to Ukraine by Clearview AI. Russia is thought to be using it to find anti-war activists. Clearview AI was originally designed for US law enforcement. Using it in war raises new ethical concerns. One London based surveillance expert, Stephen Hare, is concerned it might make the Ukrainians appear inhuman: "Is it actually working? Or is it making [Russians] say: 'Look at these lawless, cruel Ukrainians, doing this to our boys'?"

Facial recognition systems have been criticized for upholding and judging based on assumptions about people of colour [164] and also on a binary gender assumption. [165] [166] [167] [168] [169] [170] [171] [172] [173] When classifying the faces of cisgender individuals into male or female, these systems are often fairly accurate, [165] however were typically confused or unable to determine the gender identity of transgender and non-binary people. [165] Gender norms are being upheld by these systems, so much so that even when shown a photo of a cisgender male with long hair, algorithms was split between following the gender norm of males having short hair, and the masculine facial features and became confused. [165] [173] This accidental misgendering of people can be very harmful for those who do not identify with their sex assigned at birth, by disregarding and invalidating their gender identity. This is also harmful for people who do not ascribe to traditional gender norms, because it invalidates their gender expression, regardless of their gender identity.
