Hi all,

Hot on the heels of [@smcgann/node-red-annotate-image-plus](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/smcgann-node-red-annotate-image-plus/95219) 🤣

I'm pleased to announce my second contrib node 🎉

In fact this is one of a set of 3, which can work together to form a complete face recognition system.

I was inspired to do this by my new Reolink Doorbell camera, which opens up so many possibilities compared to the **"locked down"** Ring doorbell it is replacing.

There is a flow which demonstrates how to use the nodes, which I have included in a collection along with all the relevant nodes. [Face Recognition Collection](https://flows.nodered.org/collection/HSlgHZJPzZNo)

The flow has several options for getting pictures from the Reolink, but these can easily be adapted for any camera.

I hope someone finds them useful, and if you have any questions please let me know here.

Thank you for this, just in time for the proper installation of my Reolink POE Video Doorbell!

great thx! I would like do know how to implement a livestream of the reolink cams in DB 2.0. Since parts of Kevins nodes (mp4frag...) I used in the past to make that work on DB1 are not working with DB2.0.

Unfortunately this flow is for face recognition using a single frame capture.

I haven't installed DB2 as yet, so I cannot really help with that I'm afraid.

Thx, I already tried that solution and for me it turned out not to run stable.
