Face recognition door lock system using raspberry pi github.
Due to this a 12v adapter is used to power the solenoid lock.
This project utilizes a raspberry pi basic webcam and an internet connection to create a door that unlocks itself via facial recognition.
It can be unlocked over a wifi connection using a smartphone and a custom app.
The gpio pins of the raspberry pi can give an output of 3 3v but the solenoid lock requires 7 12v to operate.
If the visitor at the door is recognized the door will unlock.
