Powered by a Raspberry Pi 4 and a wide angle rpi camera module 3, this system features a full 7-inch touch display. On boot, it loads a sleek dashboard with a vector clock, real-time date, and network details. It includes a magnetic door sensor that automatically cuts off the live video stream the moment the door opens for safety. With dedicated controls, you can launch a live HD video feed, capture high-res photos, and browse saved images through a built-in gallery—all controlled by customized Python and Tkinter software. A complete smart home project combining hardware, hardware safety interrupts, and custom software UI!
