Alex @ Cake Solutions | ok ill summarise in text! | 23:30:14 |
Alex @ Cake Solutions | Let’s face it. Doorbells are boring.
Together we can change this. Let’s make them more exciting:
Can technology make the doorbell more connected?
From object detection to facial recognition, IoT platforms are the latest innovations in technology: Making your home more connected has never been so relevant.
Being a top operating engineer is all about asking the right questions: Can we combine open source technologies and innovative thinking to create the next generation doorbell?
Tech Pointers: Think OpenCV for object detection, alerting API’s and maybe even some facial recognition with open face or other recognition libraries.
Don’t worry about hardware at this point, a working demo using a webcam is more than sufficient. Its cool enough for a hackathon :)
