The first thing we tell to investors is we are not building a security or surveillance product and we don't have a vision like that.
Storing and indexing (computation but not search) is expensive on AWS. Practically 1000 face metadata is not more than 4MB's of data in practice. 4MB face data is 1$ on AWS. Just one surveillance camera output archive + real time recognition costs 400$ / month according to my calculation.
Search part can be extremely fast with postgres in a special setting. It's kinda instant.
