There is a click on the configuration of face recognition in W11, where 
it says "make face recognition more secure; needs reboot". I clicked. 
Maybe that was the activation of the IR camera.

When I bought the laptop at Lenovo, there was a choice of 16" WUXGA 
(1920x1200) and another one with more resolution. A note said that the 
infrared camera was added. And somewhere else it said it was used for 
face recognition.

When I am logged out, see the camera led blinking, I approach the camera 
a lot, the machine recognizes me and automatically does both login and 
pass equivalent and I'm inside. I mean, it would work (not tried) with 
several people login the one that is there.

I like the feature. I would like this added to Linux "easily". And 
finger print sensor. We are late.

(yes, I was told that fingerprinting is possible, but not easy to configure)
