Hi!
Is there any smart camera that can be used with Vera, that have facial recognition?
/Fanan
Pretty sure that’s there’s no cameras out there that have facial recognition. Interesting thought about making Vera capable or perhaps reading a decision from another system (trivially easy)

The netatmo smart indoor camera claims to have facial recognition.
Their outdoor camera can also identify if objects are human, animal or cars.
Note: I have no personal experience from the cameras or any other association with netatmo. I use their weather station in vera so that is why I know about their products.

The Nest Hub Max has facial recognition. I doubt it would work with Vera though.
- Odd to want to integrate any cameras with current vera hardware. The vera CPUs are much too limited in power to handle both cameras and your zwave/zigbee. The OS is not designed to do that and any addition of camera streams/monitoring kills the poor thing. What are you seeking to do with the integration? Have a facial recognition trigger a scene for example?
- If you are looking for facial recognition, a number of Home Assistant projects allow this but it means that you have to run it on dedicated, much more powerful hardware. I am running one myself and gave all of my cameras facial recognition capability. It requires home assistant to pull a stream for each camera and monitor it and then send a trigger when a face is recognized. I can then use this to trigger scenes on vera/openluup… I run home assistant on a gen6 core i7 NAS but within a single thread VM. It’s not something the vera is anywhere close to be able to do.
- The nest example is doing the same thing by sending your stream to the cloud and let a cloud server do the recognition for you. This adds lag, security and reliability liabilities which I am not willing to compromise on… Especially not with google.
I think ESPcam project could also be used…
Sort of my point. Large amounts of CPU power required. So not done in camera (no pun intendted)
