In certain embodiments, an secondary camera assembly is included as part of user-detection assembly 186. As an example, a secondary camera assembly (e.g., mounted to a door 128) user-detection assembly 186 may be directed outward (e.g., away from cabinet 120 or chilled chamber 122) and may be configured to recognize or identify a user from a two-dimensional image captured at the secondary camera assembly. In some such embodiments, controller 150 is further configured to recognize one or more defining features, such as a user's face, skin tone, arm/hand size, jewelry, typical clothing, etc. As is understood, recognizing such defining features may be performed by edge matching, divide-and-conquer search, greyscale matching, histograms of receptive field responses, or another suitable routine (e.g., executed at the controller 150 based on one or more captured images from the secondary camera assembly).

During use, such as during an image capture sequence for the camera 160, camera 160 may capture one or more two-dimensional images (e.g., as a video feed or series of sequential static images) that may be transmitted to the controller 150 (e.g., as a data signal), as is generally understood. Optionally, the image capture sequence may be initiated by a predetermined user action, such as opening a door 128, detected movement within a chilled chamber (e.g., fresh food chamber 122), engaging or moving within range of user-detection assembly 186, proving a user input at communications assembly 184 or integrated display 180, etc.
