    @reallykeene i use a logitech webcam for my camera… and I use the motion project for interfacing to the camera

    https://motion-project.github.io/

    sudo apt-get install motion

    i didn’t want to try to interface a module to lots of different camera… motion handles that.
    I didn’t want to deal with coding for all the different options I might needs (sensitivity, lightswitch flash. …

    you name it… motion handles it…

    i don’t know how it interfaces with face reco, but it can capture images, and forward those on for matching

        @sdetweil ok I now have motion working. Tested with vlc. But I’m unable to get your module to work. What screen shots might you need to help?
        I changed the time to 1min but the screen will not hide.
