Hi everyone,

I’m looking for input on designing an Ignition Perspective project that incorporates **face recognition**.

**Scope:**

1. A camera or image processing system will capture the image and send it to the Ignition project for validation.

2. Once validated against the master data, Ignition will send a response back to the camera or image processing system to trigger the process.

**Notes:**

- Ignition and the camera/image processing system are located remotely (not connected via USB or local LAN).

- Connectivity will be established via Wi-Fi or GSM.

Any suggestions or best practices on how to approach this design would be greatly appreciated.

Ignition doesn't have any native facial recognition functionality. You should have the image processing system do that work. Then consider connecting that system as a device, or perhaps as and OPC UA service.

(Share more about the technology you will use.)
