ESP32 CAM Face Detection Door Lock System

Overview

This project utilizes an ESP32 CAM board along with a relay module and solenoid lock to create a door lock system that automatically unlocks upon recognizing enrolled faces.

Requirements

For this project, you will need the following components:

• ESP32 CAM board
• UART TTL programmer
• Relay module
• Solenoid lock
• LEDs
• 12V power supply or battery
• 7805 regulator (to provide 5V)
• 100uF 16V capacitor
• Breadboard and wires

Installation

1. Setup ESP32 CAM:

   • Connect the ESP32 CAM to your computer using a UART TTL programmer.
   • Ensure the ESP32 CAM is powered with either a 5V power source or through the 7805 regulator if using a higher voltage supply.
   • Download the modified camera web server example code.
   • Upload the code to the ESP32 CAM using the Arduino IDE or similar software.

2. Configure WiFi:

   • Edit the code to include your WiFi SSID and password.
   • Upload the edited code to the ESP32 CAM.

3. Hardware Connections:

   • Connect the relay module and solenoid lock to the ESP32 CAM according to the provided wiring diagram.
   • Ensure proper power supply connections using the 7805 regulator if required.

4. Testing:

   • Power on the circuit and wait for the ESP32 CAM to start.
   • Access the IP address displayed on the serial monitor through a web browser.
   • Enroll faces by following the on-screen instructions.
   • Test the system by presenting enrolled faces to the camera and verifying if the door unlocks.

Usage

1. Enroll Faces:

   • Navigate to the web interface and click on "Enroll Face".
   • Follow the prompts to capture images of your face for enrollment.

2. Unlocking:

   • When a recognized face is detected, the relay module triggers the solenoid lock to open.
