Smart Doorbell Camera Kit v3 - AI Object Sorting Robot with Pi 5
Smart Doorbell Camera Kit v3 - Build an AI Object Sorting Robot with 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.
Transform your doorstep into an intelligent security station. This kit lets you build a doorbell camera that not only captures visitors but also uses a 4-DOF robotic arm to identify, pick up, and sort packages or objects into designated bins - all powered by YOLOv8 object detection on a Raspberry Pi 5.
What You'll Build
A fully functional smart doorbell camera system integrated with a servo-driven robot arm. The Pi 5 processes real-time video from the Pi Camera Module 3, runs a YOLOv8 model to detect objects and their coordinates, and commands the 4-DOF arm to autonomously pick up and place items in the correct bin. It's a practical introduction to edge AI and mechatronics.
What You'll Learn
- Train and deploy a YOLOv8 object detection model on Raspberry Pi 5 hardware.
- Interface a Pi Camera Module 3 and capture high-resolution video for inference.
- Control multiple MG996R servos via the PCA9685 driver for precise arm movements.
- Integrate computer vision with real-time robotic actuation to build an autonomous sorting machine.

Who This Kit Is For
Engineers, makers, and students diving into edge AI and robotics. Specifically designed for B.Tech ECE/EEE final-year projects, Smart India Hackathon prototypes, ATL Tinkering Labs for advanced students, and hobbyists ready to move beyond basic Arduino. The project bridges computer vision and mechatronics, making it ideal for IIT/NIT/VIT/BITS project submissions.
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?
Scan the QR code on the box to access your AI build companion trained precisely on this project; you can also reach our support team via WhatsApp for quick clarifications.
Can this kit run YOLOv8 at a usable frame rate on the Pi 5?
Yes. With the NVMe SSD for model storage and optimized YOLOv8 models, the Pi 5 achieves real-time detection on 640x480 frames, making the robotic sorting responsive.
Is the robot arm pre-assembled or do I need to build it?
The Robot Arm Kit arrives as a mechanical kit; you'll assemble the 4-DOF arm using the included parts, which teaches servo mechanics and control.
Will this work for a final-year engineering project in India?
Absolutely. The system covers computer vision, embedded AI, and robotic control - highly relevant for B.Tech ECE/EEE and even research prototypes. We provide documentation and build logs.
Doorbell Security - YOLOv8 on Pi 5 detects object position - 4-DOF servo arm moves to pick up object and place in correct bin.
