I plugged this into my PC running Windows 10 (build19043) and the drivers installed automatically. I was able to set up Windows Hello face recognition easily enough, and I can now sign in hands-free in less than a second. The device looks surprisingly nice on top of my small bezel (<1/8") display and doesn't obscure the screen.
The face recognition works great, but it only technically takes pictures. If you're looking for a webcam with face recognition, this isn't the product for you; you probably need to be shopping around the $100 price mark (or just get this with another dedicated webcam). It connects with USB 2.0, so the picture quality is pretty limited. It doesn't have a microphone (I consider this a privacy feature), and I'd be perfectly happy buying this product for a few dollars less without the RGB camera.
The one caveat with this device (other than the webcam quality) is that the IR LED visibly flashes a dark red when it's trying to sign you in. This might count on a feature if you want to know when it's operating, but it's not invisible. It's also not flashing while you're signed in, so this isn't distracting.
