Abstract
An apparatus includes a video capture device, an audio capture device and a processor. The video capture device may be configured to generate a plurality of video frames. The audio capture device may be configured to capture audio. The processor may be configured to analyze the audio to determine a direction of a source of the audio, select a window of interest for the video frames corresponding to the direction of the source of the audio, perform video operations to generate high resolution images of the window of interest, perform facial recognition operations on the high resolution images and determine an identity of the source of the audio in response to the facial recognition operations. The window of interest may have an area less than a total area of the video frames. The identity of the source of the audio may determine permissions for accessing features of the apparatus.
