Compared to the Google Nest facial recognition (the only other version we’ve tried), the ADT Self Setup recognition isn’t as good. Even once we uploaded the required images, the facial recognition couldn’t identify us. And half the time, it didn’t seem to pick up on our faces at all. We also didn’t love that it’s seemingly limited to recognizing account users. For the record, the Nest facial recognition isn’t all that and a bag of chips either. But it was better at picking out faces. It also wasn’t limited to recognizing users. And the Nest face software is supposed to learn and get better at its job as time goes on.
