Smart Doorbell Camera Kit v5: AI Emotion Recognition with 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 doorbell that doesn't just announce a visitor-it reads their emotional state from their face and adapts its greeting tone using a large language model running locally on a Raspberry Pi 5. This kit lets you build exactly that: a smart doorbell camera with emotion-aware conversation, demonstrating the frontier of social robotics at home.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble a fully functional smart doorbell camera with dual OLED displays, a high-quality microphone and speaker, and a Pi Camera Module 3. The system captures the visitor's face, runs a pre-loaded emotion recognition model to detect mood (happy, neutral, stressed), and then a local LLM generates a context-aware voice response in a tone that matches the detected emotion-welcoming, calm, or cheerful. It's a working prototype of affective computing, ready to mount at your door or present as a hackathon demo.

What You'll Learn

• Deploy a real-time facial emotion recognition model on Raspberry Pi 5
• Wire and configure I2S microphones and audio amplifiers for voice I/O
• Run a local LLM (like TinyLlama) on edge hardware for natural language generation
• Interface dual OLED displays for status and visitor ID feedback

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This kit is ideal for intermediate makers, engineering students (B.Tech ECE/EEE), and Smart India Hackathon participants who want to demonstrate affective AI. It's also suited for CBSE Class 11-12 students with some Raspberry Pi experience, tinkerers at ATL labs exploring social robotics, and hobbyists at IIT/NIT/VIT/BITS looking to build an edge-AI showcase.

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.
