Gesture-Controlled Doorbell Camera Kit - Raspberry Pi 5 & MediaPipe
Gesture-Controlled Doorbell Camera Kit - Raspberry Pi 5 with MediaPipe Hands
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Transform your front door into an AI-powered security hub. This kit lets you build a doorbell camera that recognizes hand gestures in real time using a Raspberry Pi 5 and MediaPipe Hands. Map specific hand landmarks to relays and LEDs-trigger a door unlock, chime a bell, or flash a warning light without touching anything.
What You'll Build
A fully functional, gesture-controlled doorbell camera system. Your Pi 5 streams live video from the Pi Camera Module 3, while MediaPipe tracks 21 hand landmarks at high speed. Predefined gestures such as an open palm trigger a relay to ring a doorbell chime, and a closed fist activates a second relay to unlock a door strike. LED indicators show system status: power, gesture recognized, and relay active. The entire system runs on the NVMe SSD for fast, reliable operation.
What You'll Learn
- Real-time hand landmark detection with MediaPipe Hands on Raspberry Pi 5
- Mapping multi-dimensional gesture recognition to physical outputs via GPIO relays
- Setting up and operating a Pi Camera Module 3 for computer vision
- Deploying a lightweight edge AI application on an NVMe SSD for reliable storage

Who This Kit Is For
B.Tech ECE/EEE students prototyping gesture-controlled interfaces for home security will find the relay integration and real-time vision stack immediately useful. CBSE Class 11-12 students exploring AI applications and participants in Smart India Hackathon working on access control or automation can straightaway deploy what they build. ATL Tinkering Labs looking for a complete edge AI project will appreciate the pre-configured software base.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Open the AI companion with the QR code on the box, or message us on WhatsApp. Our project-trained assistant walks you through wiring, code, and debugging step by step.
Can I control an actual door lock or strike with this kit?
Yes. The two 5V relays can directly drive low-voltage door strikes or chimes. You map gestures to relay on/off states in the provided Python script.
Do I need a separate doorbell chime or speaker?
The kit does not include a chime, but you can connect any 5V buzzer or doorbell to the relay. Alternatively, trigger a sound via the Pi's audio output using the same gesture logic.
What if the camera struggles to see my hand gestures clearly?
The Pi Camera Module 3 performs best in well-lit areas. Position it at eye level with controlled lighting. Our AI companion includes tuning tips for gesture detection thresholds and confidence values.
