Smart Doorbell Camera Kit: AI Parking Space Detector on Pi 5
Smart Doorbell Camera Kit: AI Parking Space Detector on Raspberry Pi 5
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine a camera that scans your apartment parking lot, instantly showing which bays are free. This kit transforms a Raspberry Pi 5 into an overhead parking guardian-detecting occupied and empty spaces, then updating a live web dashboard anyone can check. Use it as a smart doorbell camera with a purpose, or repurpose the vision logic for any spotting task.
What You'll Build
A self-contained computer vision system that processes a live camera feed to mark parking bays as occupied or vacant. The results stream to a responsive web dashboard accessible on any phone, tablet, or laptop. Perfect for gated communities, college parking tech demos, or tinkering with edge AI.
What You'll Learn
- Set up Raspberry Pi 5 with a high-speed NVMe SSD via the M.2 HAT+
- Capture wide-angle images using the Pi Camera Module 3 Wide
- Program parking space detection using OpenCV and Python
- Build and deploy a live Flask web dashboard that updates in real time

Who This Kit Is For
B.Tech ECE/EEE students building IoT-based parking solutions for Smart India Hackathon or final-year projects. CBSE Class 12 computer science candidates looking for a unique image-processing investigatory project, and ATL tinkering labs wanting an intermediate computer vision module. Working knowledge of Python is expected.
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?
The AI companion gives visual step-by-step guidance, and you can drop a WhatsApp message to our support team for a human helping hand.
Does this kit include a doorbell chime or button?
No. The project demonstrates computer vision for parking detection; you can integrate an external relay to trigger a doorbell if needed.
Will the dashboard work on my phone?
Yes, the web dashboard is responsive and works on any device with a browser, including phones and tablets.
Can I use the camera for other detection tasks?
Absolutely. The OpenCV logic is modular-retrain it to count people, detect vehicles, or identify objects relevant to your project.
Doorbell Security - Computer vision on Pi 5 detects occupied and empty parking spaces from overhead camera - updates a live web dashboard.
