Camera security system with noise detection controlled by Arduino Cloud

Intro:
Introduction

This project demonstrates how to create a smart security system using the camera of an Arduino Nicla Vision board. The system is capable of automatically taking a snapshot when it detects a noise level exceeding a configurable threshold, indicating the presence of activity. The entire system is monitored and controlled via an Arduino Cloud dashboard.

Components and Supplies

  1. Arduino Nicla Vision Board

Project Description

This project highlights the integration of a camera and noise detection for an intelligent security system. Key features include:

  • Automatic snapshot capture upon detecting presence via sound threshold.
  • Dashboard integration for remote monitoring and control.
  • Event notifications sent to email or mobile devices.

Arduino Cloud Dashboard Features

The Arduino Cloud dashboard enables the following functionalities:

  • Enable/disable the system.
  • View and clear event notifications.
  • Display the time and snapshot of the last event.
  • Manually trigger snapshots.
  • Access the history of all events.
  • Receive email or mobile push notifications for detected events.

The project uses OpenMV and MicroPython for programming and processing.

Pre-requisites

Before starting, ensure you have the following:

  1. Arduino Nicla Vision board.
  2. A web server.
  3. Arduino Cloud account.
  4. OpenMV IDE (Download OpenMV IDE).

Setup and Configuration

Code:

WIFI_SSID = “Your_WIFI_SSID”
WIFI_PASS = “Your_WIFI_Password”
DEVICE_ID = “Your_Device_ID”
