Smart Doorbell Camera Kit for Raspberry Pi 5 with AI Background Blur
Build a Smart Doorbell Camera That Uses AI to Remove Backgrounds-No Green Screen Required
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Most doorbell cameras stream everything your visitors bring-clutter, neighbours, passing cars. This kit changes that. You'll build a smart doorbell system around a Raspberry Pi 5 that uses MediaPipe SelfieSegmentation to isolate the person at your doorstep, blurring or replacing the background in real time. No special lighting, no physical green screen, just a clean, professional live feed that puts the focus exactly where it belongs.
What You'll Build
A complete doorbell camera with a 7-inch HDMI display and Pi Camera Module 3. The on-device AI processes each frame locally, identifying the visitor's silhouette and erasing the background before it reaches the screen. Whether you want privacy, a branded backdrop, or simply a less distracting image, you control every pixel right on the edge.
What You'll Learn
- Running MediaPipe SelfieSegmentation models on Raspberry Pi 5 with hardware acceleration for smooth frame rates
- Integrating a high-quality Pi Camera Module 3 and a 7-inch HDMI display into a single Linux pipeline
- Deploying a persistent edge AI application that boots automatically and writes video metadata to an NVMe SSD
- Structuring a real-world computer vision project-from power budgeting to software service management

Who This Kit Is For
CBSE Class 11-12 students building AI projects for computer science practicals, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates crafting smart security prototypes for college tech fests, and Smart India Hackathon teams racing to deliver a polished doorbell innovation. If you're at an IIT, NIT, VIT, BITS, or any ATL Tinkering Lab, this intermediate kit bridges the gap between textbook knowledge and a deployable edge AI system.
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 from the QR code on your kit box; it knows every component and step. You can also message us on WhatsApp and a human engineer will reply in under 24 hours.
Does this kit require any soldering or additional tools?
No soldering. All connections are plug-and-play. You'll need a keyboard, mouse, and internet connection for the initial Raspberry Pi OS setup and model download.
Can I use this doorbell system outdoors?
With a weatherproof enclosure, yes. The kit gives you the core electronics. A suitable outdoor case for the display and camera is widely available but not included in the box.
How does the AI background removal work without a green screen?
MediaPipe SelfieSegmentation uses a deep neural network to generate a person mask for each frame directly from the RGB image-no special lighting or backdrop required. The model runs entirely on the Raspberry Pi 5, keeping your video feed private and offline.
Doorbell Security - MediaPipe SelfieSegmentation on Pi 5 removes backgrounds from live video - virtual green screen without any special lighting.
