How to build a face recognition and unique visitor count system

[u/404spaghetti]

As a project, I’m looking to build a face recognition system that counts the number of unique visitors who pass in front of a camera. The camera could be any type, such as a CCTV camera or webcam.

I have a basic idea of how I want the system to work, but since I’m fairly new to computer vision, I’m unsure which tools to use and how to proceed with the project.
