We don't know precisely what it is they read or how. As far as I'm concerned, "It can read any kind of brain but is blind to the body it's in" sounds a bit too much like magic for the show.

Except the "existing functionality" may not, uh, exist. Just assume for a second that those things aren't configured to recognize faces or even shapes. Someone would have to make it do that from scratch. I don't know how "current" face "recognition" software works, but no doubt it's complex, probably wasn't developed in a single day, and I'm unsure of the efficiency to do so with a moving target that isn't directly facing the camera.
But it can locate a brain and read it.

Of course, I still wonder why I even NEED to think up why something just isn't possible when it's evident for the story that it isn't. If it were, they would've done it.
Because you want to insist there are good reasons it's not possible.
