These cameras had some frustrating faults. My friend's master's project relied on their facial recognition cameras. Unfortunately my friend was black and they didn't work at all on his face. He needed his white/asian friends to help him test his application.

The documentary 'Coded Bias' goes in to some depth on this problem in facial recognition and on the wider problems of the social impact of biased algorithms.

But isn't it due to the ML models rather than the camera? Facial recognition models were/are? disastrously biased.

Amazon's Rekognition detected darker skinned women as men or children in our application in 2017(we used it to prevent profile photo having children in our privacy focused dating app), Amazon rep said they were working to fix that but doesn't seem like it as of 2019[1].

Ah you're the guy that submits PRs that just changes a failing test instead of the code it's testing
