3. Motivation
4. • Expensive • Monthly Fees • Gotta have one on each room • Hackable • Complicated Setup • Can’t See Anything Without Dynamic DNS • OEM and Third Party Apps are Unreliable Home Security Cameras Suck
5. • Don’t Talk To Other Smart Home or IoT Hardware • Use Email • Send You Unrelevant Push Notifications • No Face Recognition! • No Image Classification! Home Security Solutions are Dumb
6. • Dogs move from room to room or go outside • Yeah!… Cats kinda move around too. • Throw Fido a ball, or scare your Cat! ;P • You just want to stalk your pets • Want to keep an eye on the kids • Want to see if some delivery arrived Where Is My Pet and What is He/She Doing?

18. Valuable Tips • Draw, sketch or diagram your idea first • Write down a list of desirable features • Research about the technologies such as APIs, protocols, etc. you’ll need to achieve the desired features • Write down a list of parts and materials • Research about the parts and materials before purchasing them; pros/cons matter
19. Valuable Tips • Learn about circuits, voltages, current, etc... BEFOREHAND! • Be mindful about power requirements • Run and analyze google sample code (GitHub) • Ask questions (forums, Stack Overflow… the Interwebz) • Watch how it done (YouTube) • Try not to burn your fingers when soldering the headers (Ouch, it hurts!)
20. Roadmap • Face Detection And Tracking (Google Mobile Vision) • Face Recognition (TF) • Real Time Image Classification (TF) • Movement Detection • “Smart” Push Notifications (Firebase) • Pan/Tilt Bracket controlled with right joystick on the 8Bitdo NES 30 Pro controller • Voice Control • Autonomous Patrolling • Find Your Pet
