Close up of security camera on modern building wall Circuit Diagram Transforming existing security cameras into AI smart cameras using edge devices offers numerous benefits, including cost-effectiveness, familiarity, and sustainability. By leveraging the power of AI and edge computing, users can enhance the effectiveness of their security systems without the need for extensive infrastructure changes.
An AI smart security camera system, apart from recording and storing footage, carries out several intelligent features that help to improve the overall security and accuracy of the camera system. These intelligent features include object detection and other event triggers, with the most widely-implemented functions of these being human and The code reads an image from the camera with grabber.grab(), then it converts each image to a Java BufferedImage, and finally it sends the image to both the display and object detection coroutines

This project combines real-time video processing, AI-powered human detection, and data logging to create a smart surveillance system. Using YOLOv5 for object detection and InfluxDB for storing insights, the system streams video feeds from multiple cameras, processes them for human detection, and provides a combined output through a web interface. The Raspberry Pi AI Camera is based on the Sony IMX500 AI camera sensor, which Sony has not provided a TOPS rating. The ArduCam PiNSIGHT AI Camera features a Luxonis OAK-SoM module rated at 4 TOPS. In practice, both cameras detect people well, and neither can distinguish a multimeter from a phone!
Once the hardware is in place, you'll install the Raspberry Pi OS, setting the stage for your AI-powered security system. The next step is to get the software ready. Chen's DIY AI Security Camera was designed using a mobile phone or Pi Camera, a Raspberry Pi, and the open source BarryNet deep learning platform. The system also makes use of a laptop or desktop with Ubuntu installed to access the program's analysis center and to check results of the deep learning application, as well as a Gmail account to The system uses existing security cameras and integrates them with a Raspberry Pi equipped with a Coral TPU for AI processing. The setup also involves using a rackmount enclosure for a
