            @sdetweil it is running quite well … just that I’m using the hog method n sometimes it fails to recognise… has anyone got any success with CNN, I know it’s power hungry n pi might not be able to handle it… but surprise me…😛

                I too am looking for facial recognition module and its hard to keep up with versions and such especially when you are not a developer or coder. But, I’m curious what do you have for hardware and OS and what cv4 version did you follow? When I look through the install notes it looks like CV versions have changed along with OS version (now buster) and the words and links don’t equal the versions .

                I have buster on a pi 4 (4g) I have a picam 2.0 and or a logitech c930 usb webcam I can use… just curious what you followed and have?

                  @majik655 things are constantly changing. I’ve only installed the MMM-face-reco-dnn on my Pi4

                  it’s a lot of work

                    Yeah iv’e been through the process and back with the very beginning of face recog I was able to get it done but that was a long time ago… it seems it has come a long way.

                    I guess I get confused when it comes to the dataset… can I just put my own pictures from say my phone in there? Or do I have to somehow figure out how to take pictures and such with the camera on the pi?

                    The links in the instructions say “OpenCV 4.1.2 quick installation (wthout compliation) for Raspbian Buster”
                    Bu takes you to a page that is 4.3… for the opencv part is that the only part that is needed is this:
                    https://github.com/cyysky/OpenCV-Raspberry-Pi-4-Package-for-Python

                    Anyway made a backup of my mirror…now lets see if I can destroy it trying to get this working.
                    Thank you for your replies!

                                lol well I just uploaded 17 and im wondering if my PIR sensor or other module configs are stopping this …
                                I havent figured out yet if the camera is even working good… I am using a usb cam so I have it set to 0 in the config…

                                But I have a motion sensor, mmm-pages and google assistant and assistant2display which I wonder is causing any issues.

                                The mirror boots up loads modules and then goes blank because I have all modules set to me (no default or everyone).

                                I need to figure out how to view live camera… I wish there was a way for the module to test or report what it sees or doesnt see for that matter.

                                  I finally got it!
                                  I commented out basically everything in my config except for the basics like clock and such…
                                  Nothing was working …
                                  Then I realized the lights on the camera were not turning on when the MM started…which means there was no way it was going to recognize anything if it wasnt even on lol

                                  To get it to work I had to change in the module config

                                  source: 0,
                                  

                                  to

                                  source: '/dev/video0',
                                  

                                  Which by the info source: 0, SHOULD BE /dev/Video0

                                  Not sure why 0 didnt work but it works now with /dev/Video0!!!

                                  Thank you for listening!

                                      Yeah so one thing I have found is it is kind of worthless to have a motion sensor running that hides the modules after 2minutes of no motion…because if you block the sensor once it has closed… it looks like the camera cant turn it back on because the sensor has hidden everything.

                                      I either turn off the motion sensor and rely on the camera all the time …
                                      or
                                      somehow have the motion detection turn on the camera recognition part…recognize then show correct modules.
                                      or
                                      have the recognition…trigger the motion sensor

                                      so many decisions I dont know which to do lol

                                        I wonder how long it takes to encode 5 pics with a rpi4? Encode.py is running for 3 hours now and i hope ther will bee a “Oke ready” thingy.
