I see there are many projects that can detect faces on photo by Node-Red, but is it possible to detect faces by live images with, say 10 fps? I would like to crop the faces and then send to cloud for further analysis.

Anyone can point me to relevant links?

I recommend Google for that, I suspect you would need other 3rd party software to do the heavy lifting of that chore. Something like OpenCV perhaps?

Yes, I used OpenCV and now changed to Ultraface
