PiDoorbell - Instantaneous Video Notifications with Arduino & RaspberryPi

Project: PiDoorbell - Instantaneous Video Notifications with Arduino & RaspberryPi

Have you ever found yourself obsessively checking the UPS or FedEx tracking site to see if your package finally got delivered at your doorstep? Or wondered when your contractor/gardener showed up to do their job? Or if your neighbor came looking for you on an urgent matter while you were out?

In this talk, I will show you how you can relax and rely on your handy-dandy smartphone to let you know when these events happen along with video snippets of what happened and who showed up!

She has been a software developer and tinkerer for two decades and loves to learn new technologies and build new skills. This is her first hardware project and she would like to show that you CAN build your own gadgets and solve your daily needs using Python without having to spend a whole bunch of money on a commercial product which might not give you all the features you need. She is a homeowner and uses this gadget everyday at home to see who’s at her front door.
